No partial awards will be made. The Request for Quote number is PR-0022216A. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the size standard is 500 employees. The resultant contract will be a firm-fixed price contract. This RFQ incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-82. This requirement will be awarded on an all or none basis as a commercial item, fixed price purchase order under the procedures at FAR Parts 12 and 13. This RFQ is for Brand Name or Equal in accordance with FAR Provision 52.211-6 (Aug 1999). Substitute brands may be provided if they perform the same function. If an equal item is proposed specs must be included with the quote to show that it is an equal item. Quotation shall provide a point-by-point comparison to each item listed in the technical requirements. A general overview, general comparison, or statement such as "able to provide the requirements" or "meets or exceeds minimum requirements" is unacceptable and will not be evaluated for potential acceptance. All bidders that fail to comply with these instructions will be considered not responsive and not considered for award. In accordance with the explosives characterization research and testing efforts, the FBI requires the ability to directly and accurately measure the thermal diffusivity of an explosive formulation. To properly measure this essential parameter a flash analyzer is required. This will be a delayed shipment. The installment of these instruments is to be determined. The FBI will provide a delivery address by 09/30/2015. The FBI requires the following items, Brand Name or Equal, to the following: Line 0001, DXF-500 Flash Analyzer and EM-500 Environmental Module, TA Instruments, 2, EA. Technical Requirements: • System must measure the thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of a material; • System must use optical methods for non-contact measurement of the sample; • System must use a xenon pulsed light delivery source; • System must use all reflective optics for light delivery for most efficient operation; • System light source must have a long lifetime and minimum replacement and maintenance cost; • System light source must have a pulse width of 400-600µs; • System light source must have a variable pulse energy up to 15 J; • System must be able to operate equally well with opaque, translucent, and transparent materials with little sample preparation; • System must measure a thermal diffusivity range of 0.01-1000 mm²/s; o Thermal diffusivity precision must be within ±2%; o Thermal Diffusivity accuracy must be within ±2%; • System must measure a thermal conductivity range of 0.10-2000 W/(mK); o Thermal conductivity precision must be within ±4%; o Thermal conductivity accuracy must be within ±5%; • System must measure heat capacity with a precision within ±3% and accuracy within ±4%; • System must have a temperature range of RT to 500°C; • System must operate in air, vacuum, or inert gas environments; • System must allow a sample size up to 25.4mm in diameter and at least 6mm in thickness; • System must accommodate liquid, powder, and paste samples; • System must have the ability to accommodate up to 4 samples for automated, unattended testing; • System source and detector must be a completely bench-top design; • Vendor must provide on-site setup and developmental support; • System must come with operational and user definable software.
