- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a High Energy Electron Gun and Controller to fit within lunar dust adhesion bell jar in accordance with the following specifications: 1. Shall be able to provide a beam of electrons with energy ranging from 1 keV to at least 20 keV with a spread of no greater than 0.5 eV. 2. Shall be able to produce a beam current of at least 1 mA. 3. Shall be able to provide a collimated beam of electrons. 4. Shall be able to produce a beam 1.5 - 25 mm at a working distance of 450 mm. 5. The electron beam shall be able to be rastered with a x direction frequency of at least 10 kHz and a y-direction frequency of at least 100 Hz. 6. Shall be mounted on a standard 4.5 Conflat-type vacuum flange. 7. Shall be able to mechanically align electron beam while electron gun is operating. 8. The gun shall not protrude more than 10 cm from the sealing surface into the vacuum chamber. 9. The gun and associated cables shall not protrude more than 50 cm from the sealing surface into the room. 10. All feedthroughs shall be compatible with UHV operation (down to 10-10 Torr). 11. Electron gun shall be compatible with 350 C bake-out with cables removed. 12. A power supply and controller for the electron gun shall be included. 13. Cables between electron gun and power/control source shall extend at least 5 m. 14. The power supply shall be able to be able to maintain less than 1.0 percent variance in bean current. 15. All primary control functions (beam energy, beam current, focus, x-y deflection) shall be accessible without a computer interface. 16. All primary monitoring functions (beam energy, source voltage, source current, emission current, focus, x-y deflection) shall be accessible without a computer interface. 17. Shall have the ability to interface with a computer for control and monitoring using industry standard connectors (e.g., RS-232). 18. Shall operate on standard 110 VAC, 60 Hz line current. Shall include hardware to mount in standard 19' instrument rack. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-69. This procurement is a total small business set-aside.
