- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for two diamond vacuum windows and a substrate window with the following capabilities: 1)Our experiment requires the vacuum windows and substrate to be composed of CVD diamond material. This is critically necessary in order to transmit radiation across the visible, infrared, and terahertz spectral regions without breaking the purge. 2)The diamond windows must be embedded in UHV conflate vacuum flanges using hermetic diamond-metal joints (optimized for low thermo-mechanical stress and a wide range of operation temperatures). 3)CVD diamond windows, optical quality - flat faces polished, surface roughness <20 nm RMS, - side faces laser cut, - diameter 38 mm, clear aperture 33 mm, - central thickness: 900100 μm - wedge: 0.50.1 - flatness of the unmounted windows: < 3 fringes over the free aperture area 4)Flange Mountings: window braze-sealed into Conflat UHV flange, - flange size: standard 2.75 inch Conflat (CF 40) 5)UHV window specifications and cerificates: window bakeable at 250 C - window operatable at 230C - window tested to 1 bar differential pressure - leak rate < 1 x 10-10 bar.cm3/sec He 6)Optical grade CVD diamond window: optical grade polycrystalline CVD diamond, polished, Ra < 20nm, Wedge : <0.05, Central thickness : 1000μm (-100/+100μm), Planarity : better lambda/2 at 633nm until 1mm from the edge Diameter : 25.4mm (0.1mm) Deliverables: Two UHV diamond windows mounted in CF40 vacuum flange and an optical grad CVD diamond window, polished. 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, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Offerors are required to use the On-Line RFQ system to submit their quote. The On-line RFQ system is linked above or it may be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.g ov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=. The information required by FAR Subpart 12.6 is included in the on-line RFQ. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (verbal communication is not accepted) no later than September 14, 2015 at 4pm. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any). NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
