- Description
- This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 334515 and the business standard size is 1250 employees. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Description: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. Background: The NIH Mouse Imaging Facility (MIF) is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art anatomical, functional and molecular medical imaging capabilities for animal models of human disease. It is necessary to procure a heat exchanger to cool a Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils. There will be an input from in-house chilled water which will need to be manipulated to the desired flow rate and temperature before being directed to the Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils in order to cool them. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure a heat exchanger, non-refrigerated water recirculating system, to cool a Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils: Project requirements: The Contractor shall provide a heat exchanger, non-refrigerated water recirculating system, to cool a Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils: 1.The heat exchanger must have 6 pumps, 2 of which will be backup pumps a.4 pumps must possess: i.a maximum annual water temperature of +60 degrees Fahrenheit, ii.minimum available flow rate of 10 GPM, iii.maximum inlet water pressure of 100 psi, iv.and optimal pressure differential of 25 psi to 50 psi b.2 pumps must possess: i.a minimum of 4.0 GPM at 45 psi ii.nominal supply water temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit iii.automatic switchover on loss of flow 2.There must be separate tanks, pumping, and temperature control systems for all 4 supply circuits. The supply circuits in question have the following features: a.Circuit 1: F-50L Compressor with a heat load of 8.3 kW. There should be an optional primary/standby pump configuration b.Circuit 2: CP2870 Compressor with a heat load of 7.3 kW. There should be an optional primary/standby pump configuration c.Circuit 3: Gradient Coil 1 with a heat load of 2.5 kW and a single pump configuration d.Circuit 4: Gradient Coil 2 with a heat load of 2.5 kw and a single pump configuration. 3.The equipment must fit in a 72" W x 36" D x 72" H space. 4.The proposed equipment must be compatible with a Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils. 5.There must be indicator lights for faults. 6.There must be the ability to handle 10 gallons per minute of water from the in house chiller. 7.There must be an ability to manipulate the specific flow rate as desired for each piece of individual equipment with an electronic capacity control. 8.Installation will require flexibility as to the date of occurrence as the manufacturer of the existing equipment must power down the magnet and fix cryo coils so installation can occur. Installation will require that equipment is set up and all components work with existing equipment. 9.At least a one year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship must be included in the proposed cost. 10.Lifetime technical support via phone and email should be included in the proposed cost. 11.Documentation on the design, build, and testing of the unit should be provided with the offer. Quotes should include extended warranty options which include pricing for failure of any component of the heat exchange system, on site repairs, and the ability to keep parts in stock that are likely to fail. The turnaround time for stocking parts must be included Anticipated period of performance: The system must be flexible due to site renovations; Note: Government will provide vendor with a 10-12 week notice of the anticipated delivery date. Other important considerations: 1.EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS - 1.The heat exchanger must have 6 pumps, 2 of which will be backup pumps: 4 pumps must possess: •a maximum annual water temperature of +60 degrees Fahrenheit, •minimum available flow rate of 10 GPM, •maximum inlet water pressure of 100 psi, •and optimal pressure differential of 25 psi to 50 psi 2pumps must possess: •a minimum of 4.0 GPM at 45 psi •nominal supply water temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit •automatic switchover on loss of flow 2.There must be separate tanks, pumping, and temperature control systems for all 4 supply circuits. The supply circuits in question have the following features: •Circuit 1: F-50L Compressor with a heat load of 8.3 kW. There should be an optional primary/standby pump configuration •b.Circuit 2: CP2870 Compressor with a heat load of 7.3 kW. There should be an optional primary/standby pump configuration •Circuit 3: Gradient Coil 1 with a heat load of 2.5 kW and a single pump configuration •d.Circuit 4: Gradient Coil 2 with a heat load of 2.5 kw and a single pump configuration. 3.There must be indicator lights for faults. 4.There must be the ability to handle 10 gallons per minute of water from the in house chiller. 5.There must be an ability to manipulate the specific flow rate as desired for each piece of individual equipment with an electronic capacity control. 6.Documentation on the design, build, and testing of the unit should be provided with the offer. 2. SIZE AND SPACING REQUIREMENTS - •The equipment must fit in a 72" W x 36" D x 72" H space. 3.COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS - •The proposed equipment must be compatible with a Sumitomo F-50L, Cryomech CP2870, and two (2) Bruker gradient coils. 4.WARRANTY AND SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS - •At least a one year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship must be included in the proposed cost. •Lifetime technical support via phone and email should be included in the proposed cost. •Quotes should include extended warranty options which include pricing for failure of any component of the heat exchange system, on site repairs, and the ability to keep parts in stock that are likely to fail. The turnaround time for stocking parts must be included. A turnaround time of three days or less is preferable. 5.DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION REQUIEMENTS - •Installation will require flexibility as to the date of occurrence as the manufacturer of the existing equipment must power down the magnet and fix cryo coils so installation can occur. Installation will require that equipment is set up and all components work with existing equipment. Capability statement/information sought: This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations.
