THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A SEPARATE WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THE SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES FOR CERTAIN COMMERCIAL ITEMS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.5 This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-07, dated July 2, 2020. 1352.215-72 INQUIRIES (APR 2010) Offerors must submit all questions concerning this solicitation in writing to the Contract Specialist (stephanie.kelly@nist.gov). Questions should be received no later than five calendar days after the issuance date of this solicitation. All responses to the questions will be made in writing, without identification of the questioner, and will be included in an amendment to the solicitation. Even if provided in other form, on the question responses included in the amendment to the solicitation will govern performance of the contract. (end of provision) The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334513. All offerors shall provide a firm-fixed-price quotation in the following pricing table format: Contract Line Item Number (CLINs) TOTAL CLIN 0001 � � STATEMENT OF WORK BACKGROUND INFORMATION High spectral purity is a key necessity of Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering (RSoXS) measurements, as higher harmonic components within an X-ray beam are difficult to distinguish from scattering of interest from the nominal X-ray energy.� For this reason, the Materials Measurement Laboratory of NIST is seeking a Variable Line Spacing (VLS) plane grating designed for specifically high spectral purity at the Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen Absorption edges. This grating will be one monochromator element of an existing plane grating monochromator vessel already installed at the soft X-ray scattering facility at the NIST beamline SST-1 at the National Synchrotron Light Source-II within the NIST suite of beamlines of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. The grating must fit inside and not compromise any part of an existing design envelope developed in a previous NIST procurement. SCOPE OF WORK This statement of requirements (SOR) and Technical Specification, hereinafter called the SOR/SPEC, is the basis for the procurement of the Equipment, which will be used on the SST-1 Beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). This SOR/SPEC outlines the contractor�s responsibilities and obligations necessary for completing the requirements as set forth herein. REFERENCES The following documents are an integral part of the SOR/SPEC; the applicable revision level will be the latest that is in effect at the time of award. Document Number Document Title Atch 1, LT-ENG-RSI-SR-VA-002.pdf Requirements for Design and Fabrication of Components for NSLS-II UHV Systems Atch 2, RSoXS Grating substrate.pdf Schematic drawing of substrate dimensions for grating TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Substrate specifications The substrate shall be single crystal silicon. The substrate shall be supplied by the contractor. The orientation of the Si substrate shall be compatible with the manufacturer�s technical processes for ruling the grating. The substrate size shall be as specified in Atch 2 drawing (RSoXS Grating substrate) to fit in the open slot in the existing PGM vessel at SST-1. The grating substrate drawing is attached (RSoXS Grating substrate). Optical Surface The optical surface shall be 140 mm long (L) and 20 mm wide (W).� The optical surface will be centered to within � 0.5 mm on the substrate. The meridional radius shall be ? 3�107�mm. The sagittal radius shall be ? 3�106�mm. The meridional RMS slope error of the surface shall be less than 0.2 �rad in the frequency range L-1�to 1 mm-1. The sagittal RMS slope error�of the surface shall be less than 0.5 �rad in the frequency range W-1�to 1 mm-1. RMS micro-roughness of the optical surface <0.3 nm in the frequency range 5�10-3�to 1 �m-1.� The figure error and surface micro-roughness shall be measured prior to delivery.� The proposer shall describe in their proposal the measuring technique that they intend to use to verify these parameters. Grating Figure 1. Grating central profile diagram The ruled surface shall be 125 mm long (L) and 20 mm wide (W).� The ruled surface shall be centered to within � 0.4 mm on the substrate. The grating covers the energy range 100-600 eV and operates with c~1.5 in first order and focuses on an exit slit 9.5 m downstream. The grating shall be coated with 50�3 nm Ni. The possible use of an adhesion layer shall be discussed and agreed upon in writing with NIST. The rulings shall be perpendicular to the length of the grating blank within �0.2�. The ratio of valley to period width shall be 0.55, as depicted in Figure 1. The ruling density shall have the functional form: k�(w) =�k0�(1+2b2w�+ 3b3w2�+ 4�b4w3�)������ where: k0�= 250 mm-1 b2=2.102 �10-4 �2% mm-1 b3= 1.95�10-8 �10% mm-2 b4< |10-12�mm-3| and�w�is the position along the grating length.�w=0 at the grating center and it is positive towards the exit slit. The line density at the center of the grating shall be clearly marked on the side of the grating blank. The grating blank shall be scribed on the end with the highest ruling density. The grating depth shall vary from 10 nm to 25 nm either in steps or continuous variation across the width of the grating. If in steps, each stripe of constant depth shall be 3-4 mm wide, resulting in between 5 and 7 equal width steps across the full grating width. RMS micro-roughness on the final grating surface must be less than 1.0 nanometer. The final parameters of the grating shall be measured and sent to NIST with the grating. Testing Requirements Roughness and groove profile The figure error, surface micro-roughness and groove profile of the grating shall be measured. In particular, the following is required: Roughness measurements for both top and bottom of the grooves at 15 discreet points located at the intersections between three parallel lines along the longitudinal direction (central line and every 3 mm or at each quantized depth along the total optical width to either side) and five parallel lines along the sagittal direction (central line and at �20% and �40% of the total optical length to either side). Measurements of the profile and line density of the grooves at the same 15 nodes specified above. VLS parameters The local line density shall be measured to determine the groove placement error and ensure that it is compliant with the accuracy on the VLS law specified above. This measurement shall be performed using the two following techniques: Visible light diffraction. Long trace profiling. Metrology using long trace profiling or equivalent method may be carried out by NIST to confirm the Contractor�s compliance with the specifications. Packaging The Equipment will be used in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment and shall be UHV clean. The specifications for vacuum compliance are in BSA document Atch 1,LT-ENG-RSI-SR-VA002, �Requirements for Design and Fabrication of Components for NSLS-II UHV Systems.� Talcum powder-free, clean room gloves shall always be used when handling the Equipment. Oil, fingerprints, dust, and other contaminants shall be kept off the Equipment. Hermetically sealed packaging shall be used during shipping to protect the Equipment from dust and contamination. In preparation for shipping, the Equipment shall be sealed for protection against weather elements, dust, and damage to projections, shock loads, impacts, and rubbing. The Equipment shall be properly braced and cushioned within its own packing so that it will not shift during handling and shipment. Durable materials, such as clean wood, bubble wrap, or similar non-contaminating materials, are to be used to support and protect the components from one another during transit and storage. Peanut-type material shall not be used for packaging. Each packing shall be fitted with Shockwatch and Tipwatch sensors or an equivalent approved by BSA. The container shall be appropriately labeled with the listing of contents, destination, gross weight, location of center of gravity, purchase order number, and contact information. Warranty:� The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a two-year warranty for the equipment. The warranty shall cover all parts, labor and travel. The warranty shall commence upon successful completion of delivery and government acceptance that the equipment meets all required specifications. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance shall be ten months for delivery, and two (2) years of warranty period after government acceptance of the delivered equipment.
