- Description
- The United States Army Medical Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) has a requirement, as a firm-fixed price contract award, for the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defence (USAMRICD) for a Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectrometer. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2001-27. This is a total small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516. Place of Delivery: USAMRICD, 3100 Ricketts Point Rd, Aberdeen Proving Ground-Edgewood Area, MD 21010-5400 CLIN 0001--Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectrometer CLIN 0002--Shipping The following are the minimum essential characteristics (MECs) for this requirement: MINIMUM ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS (MECS) The USAMRICD requires a Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectrometer with the following minimum essential characteristics: 1.A high intensity Ceramic light source is required. Ceramic sources offer higher energy for higher signal to noise and longer life up to 10 years. 2.The system must utilize an automated filter exchange mechanism to optimize measurement in any wavelength range. The system shall not require any manually exchanged filters. 3.System must have 3 interchangeable detectors allowing a single instrument to measure from the Mid to Near IR regions. These detectors will be mounted in pre aligned housings that allow easy exchange. The system must have built-in auto recognition of the installed detector in order for the system to automatically select the proper filter for the measurement region. 4.The system shall be equipped, as standard, with gold coated optics which allow optimal performance if measuring in the NIR region. 5.The system shall have full PC control over the lock-in amplifier and PEM controller. 6.The system will use 16mm diameter cells. 7.The system will utilize dual A/D converters allowing the system to continuously monitor the AC and DC components for real time CD data collection. 8.The system shall include a sealed interferometer allowing it to be efficiently purged for elimination of H2O and CO2 interference and protect the interferometer from moisture. 9.The system will use a 50 KHz modulation frequency. 10.The software will have a function to directly import data files calculated by the Gaussian program so that theoretical and measured data files can be compared directly. Both theoretical and observed data files can be plotted together as well as output in ASCII format. 11.The system shall be manufactured under ISO-9000 Quality Control standards All interested parties shall provide their quotation to Jackie McGurk, at, Jacklyn.McGurk@amedd.army.mil. Telephone calls shall not be accepted. The solicitation closes on 31 MAY at 1800hrs.
