- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for use of a facility for evaluation of space flight hardware for a period of 104 hours. The testing conducted between 5/6/12 5/11/13. Several specific requirements exist: 1.A range of tuned ion energies appropriate for single-event effects tests of packaged devices (board level and device level electronics) shall exist. This range shall be between 15-40 MeV/amu. Degraders may be used to gain lower energies than 15 MeV/amu. 2.Testing shall be conducted in air-as opposed to vacuum with a full range of tilt angles accessible form +90 degrees to 90 degrees. 3.Heavy-ion beam structure shall be near-continuous to facilitate dynamic testing for single-event effects. 4.Beam accuracy across the irradiation area shall have less than 10% variance to facilitate accurate performance degradation results and pre-flight predictions. 5.NASA/GSFC shall be the prime user of the proton beam during test campaigns in order to provide controlled particle intensities (beam flux) and known beam structure to allow for proper post-irradiation data analysis. a.Shared user facilities provide uncertainties and increased risk for result and data analysis. 6.Facility shall have ion range in silicon up to at least 3.5 mm. NASA/GSFC intends to use the facilities of Texas A&M University/Cyclotron Insitute. It is our understanding that Texas A&M University/Cyclotron Insitute is the only vendor that can provide heavy ion single-event effects testing of microelectronics, photonics and materials. This synopsis shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information solicited. Questions regarding this acquisition must be directed to the attention of Odessia Becks via e-mail at Odessia.H.Becks@nasa.gov or via facsimile at (301) 286-9169 by 12:00pm EST, April29, 2013. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:00pm EST on May 1, 2013. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. It is the quoters responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments. Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An ombudsman has been appointed.
