- Description
- Sole-Source Justification and Approval Terahertz Spectrometer. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). The solicitation number is FA8601-13-T-0253. The NAICS Code is 334516. The size standard is 500 employees. The contract requires the contractor to provide a Terahertz Spectrometer as described in the following: Terahertz Spectrometer: 1. The system must provide the following spectral data to allow the end-user to maximize the information gathered from the system. a. Time domain wave form b. Measurement of phase in the time domain c. Terahertz (THz) intensity d. Transmittance spectrum including phase shift e. Absorbance spectrum f. First and second derivative of absorbance g. Reflectance spectrum h. Refractive index spectrum i. Real dielectric constant j. Imaginary dielectric constant 2. The system must have the capability of launching the THz beams by means of fiber umbilical, as well as, having an internal THz optical beam and sample compartment. This should be done automatically and not require any internal manual interventions by the user. This allows the user to run two independent experiments without significantly affecting either experimental set up. 3. Service must be provided at the customer's site. 4. The spectral range must be at least 0.06 to 3.6 THz. 5. The sample compartment must have the capability to purge with Nitrogen or clean dry air to remove water vapor; this is an important capability in many sensitive measurements. 6. The system must be capable of supporting sample measurements in vacuum. 7. The system must have at least the following performance at different frequencies in terms of signal to noise ratios: • Frequency of 0.9 THz* better than 11000, • Frequency of 0.3 THz* better than 6500, • Frequency of 2.5 THz* better than 700. 8. The system must have the capability to use an Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) module. 9. The system must have the capability to use Cryostat. 10. The system must have the capability to use a Variable Temperature Cell (-190°C to +220°C). 11. The system must have the capability to use a Reflectance Imaging Module for terahertz imaging. Image size up to 75mm by 75mm. 12. The system must have the capability to use an external Gantry to image large samples. 13. The supplier must provide on-site training. Minimum 2 days for 2 people. 14. Unit must have a minimum of a 2 year warranty This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any proposal received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotations should be e-mailed to Joshua.Meyerhofer@us.af.mil or faxed to Joshua Meyerhofer, AFLCMC/PZIOBB, 937-656-1412 no later than 22 August 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. Only proposals received by this date will be considered. Any questions should be directed to Joshua Meyerhofer at Joshua.Meyerhofer@us.af.mil.
