- Description
- NASA GSFC has a requirement for facility use, cyclotron beam time for the evaluation of space flight hardware. 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 from +90 to -90. 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 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 results and data analyses. 6)Facility shall have ion range in silicon up to at least 3.5 mm. NASA GSFC intends to purchase the services from Texas A&M University (TAMU) Cyclotron Facility. TAMU is the only source found that provides the medium- to high-energy heavy ions required for this procurement. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to Dorothy.s.baskin@nasa.govnot later than 4:30 p.m. local time on June 11, 2013.Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
