Patrick Air Force Base anticipates a requirement that is being considered under a small business set-aside program. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed 334516. The size standard for NAICS is 1,000 employees. GSA SIN/MAS 632 5 The requirement is to provide a UV-Vis spectrometer that is able to detect signals in the near-infrared region (NIR) of the electromagnetic spectrum. The UV-Vis spectrometer will ensure the chemical processing techniques are sufficient in the execution and completion of the overall mission. The spectrometer would make it possible to troubleshoot possible problems with little time required for instrument use and data processing. Salient Characteristics: a) A minimum absorbance range from -6.0 to 6.0 ABS. b) Must be able to make accurate and resolved measurements in the UV, Vis, and NIR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. c) An individual detector for each region of the EM spectrum of interest; UV, Vis, and NIR (3 detectors at a minimum) d) No loss in resolution and sensitivity when switching between detectors. e) Stray light from instrument MUST be less than or equal to 0.00005%. f) Signal to noise ratio of 0.00003 ABS. g) At a minimum the resolution of peaks should be 0.1 nm in UV-Vis and 0.4 nm in NIR. h) Detector of UV and Visible region must be a PMT. i) Detector for switch over region must be an InGaAs detector. j) Detector for NIR region must be a PbS detector. NOTE: RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SHALL STATE IF THEY ARE A SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER! What is the purpose of the item(s): UV-Vis spectrometer is required to for the detection of trace metals with an extended spectrum spanning the UV, Vis, and NIR. It will also be for a method verification for radiochemical procedures. 45 CONS is interested in any size business that is capable of meeting this requirement. The government is also interested in all small businesses including (8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), or, if applicable based on NAICS code, Economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) that are interested in performing this requirement. The government requests interested parties submit a brief description of their company's business size (i.e. annual revenues and employee size), business status (i.e., 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, or small business) anticipated teaming arrangements, and a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. The Government will use this information in determining its small business set-aside decision."

Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, etc.). All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities-indicating examples of commercial sales-and product specifications related to this effort. Also indicate if you are the manufacturer, or provide the name and size of the manufacturer of the product(s) you will be supplying. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated us of foreign national employees on this effort. Include in your capabilities package your DUNS, Cage Code, System for Award Management expiration date, GSA contract number and expiration (if applicable), and any related specifications/drawings. Responses may be submitted electronically to the following e-mail address: 45cons.lgcb.e-bids@us.af.mil and sandra.seman@us.af.mil. RESPONSES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 3:00 pm EST on 03 June 2016.
