- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT This is a Sources Sought Notice only. This is not a request for proposal, but a survey to locate potential sources. This Sources Sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, or a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is it a guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation or contract. It is for market research purposes only. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of various members of industry, to include the Small Business Community: Small Business, Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB-Zone), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Small business, Section 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, & EDWOSB businesses are highly encouraged to participate. (2) Date : 24 May 2016 (3) Classification Code : 66 (4) NAICS Code: 334516 (5) NAICS Size Standard: 1,000 (6) Contracting Office Address: Room 216 Building 1622 White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM 88002 (7) Subject: Sources Sought for High Energy Detector & Extreme UV Spectrometer System (8) Proposed Solicitation Number: W911QX-16-T-0192 (9) Sources Sought Closing Response Date: 06/1/2016 (10) Contact Point: Nicole Hernandez, Contract Specialist, Nicole.g.hernandez2.civ@mail.mil 575-678-4979 (11) A. Objective: To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed in section 11B. Note that the specific requirements in section B are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. The Government requires one (1) High Energy detector and Extreme Ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer system. The system shall fulfill the following minimum specifications: (1) An extreme ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer with wavelength dispersion over a range of 30 to 150 nanometer. (2) An integrated detector capable of operation over a photon energy range of 10 to ~10,000 electron volts (eV). (3) This system, by physical necessity based on the range of extreme UV wavelengths being dispersed and detected shall operate under vacuum conditions (light at these wavelengths will not transmit through air). The system shall be contained in a suitable vacuum housing, with appropriate port connectors (4.5" Conflat flange, an industry standard) to mate with an existing vacuum system. (4) Entrance and exit slits to the spectrometer shall be variable in width (range of 0.01 to 3 millimeter) and height (2 to 20 millimeter) to accommodate a range of experimental conditions. (5) The spectrometer shall include two (2) holographic gratings for wavelength dispersion, one each at 1200 grooves/millimeter and the other at 2400 grooves/millimeter, mounted on a grating turret for selection of one or the other grating. (6) The gratings shall have a coating suitable for work in the extreme UV wavelength range of 30 to 150 nanometer. (7) The spectrometer and detector shall be matched for focal length to provide maximum detection of dispersed extreme UV light. (8) The detector shall be of the Charged-Coupled Device (CCD) type, in a pixel array of 1024 x 255 elements, to provide adequate resolution of the dispersed extreme UV light. (9) The detector shall include a complete thermoelectric cooler, with power supply. (10) The shutter assembly shall be vacuum compatible. (11) The system shall include all control cables, power cords, mechanical linkages, stepping drive controllers, and ancillary controls for complete and unified function of the spectrometer and detector as one system. C. Responses: All interested parties should notify this office in writing, mail, fax, or e-mail within the posted date. Responses shall include: (I) To what extent each of the specifications can be met. (II) Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business based on the 1,000 employees standard that accompanies NAICS code 334516. If a small business, you must also list any small disadvantaged status you hold [HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), etc.]. (III) Past experience/ performance through description of completed projects. (12) Responses to this sources sought synopsis are due no later than 10:00 am Mountain Standard Time (MST) on 01 June 2016. Submissions should be emailed to Nicole Hernandez, Nicole.g.hernandez2.civ@mail.mil. Questions concerning this sources sought synopsis may be directed to Nicole Hernandez at Nicole.g.hernandez2.civ@mail.mil or 575-678-4979. Please be advised that.zip and.exe files cannot be accepted. (13) Place of Contract Performance: Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD 21005 (14) Estimated Delivery Timeframe or Period of Performance: Twelve (12) weeks after date of contract (ADC).
