- Description
- The Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with LACO Technologies, Inc., located in Salt Lake City, UT for one (1) Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVC) system. LACO Technologies, Inc., CAGE Code # 0N0U2, is classified as other than small business. This equipment will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12-Commercial Items and FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Sole source determination is made in accordance with: FAR Part 13.106-1 Soliciting Competition (b) Soliciting from a single source (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The mission of NIWC Pacific is to enable Naval, Joint, National, and Coalition war fighters with information dominance through research, development, delivery, and support of integrated capabilities. As such, it is essential SPAWAR provide the necessary equipment and services required for our warfighters to be successful in these efforts. The Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVC) system will be used for a variety of basic and applied research efforts pursuant to but not limited to nanosat technologies. Development efforts require a TVC System must have horizontal cylindrical vacuum chamber 18 O.D. by 20 long. The TVC is a rigid enclosure from which air and other gases are removed by a vacuum pump, and in which the radiative thermal environment is controlled. This results in a low pressure environment within the chamber which allows researchers to conduct physical experiments (e.g., for materials science, semiconductor research, or electro-magnetic propagation), to test mechanical devices which must operate in outer space, or to conduct processes such as vacuum drying or vacuum coating. Process controller must have an automated process controller designed for high vacuum processes. Thermal vacuum chambers can be used to simulate a space environment. The Vacuum chamber design must include internal shrouds with Aeroglaze coating. Window port must be optical grade fused silica 8 in diameter with lambda/10 flatness under vacuum conditions. LACO Technologies, Inc. is the only know source that can provided the requested equipment. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the abovementioned requirement as specified. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be received via email(dana.weimar@navy.mil) by 3:00 p.m. EST on April 2, 2019.
