Note that the specific requirements in section C are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. Salient Characteristics: The contractor shall deliver one (1) atomic force microscope system to Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) that meets the following requirements: Capable of a minimum X-Y scan range of 100 micrometers by 100 micrometers. Capable of a minimum Z range of 10 micrometers with closed loop Z control. Capable of tapping mode (also called non-contact mode or dynamic force mode) imaging with phase contrast mode. Capable of contact mode (also called static force) imaging. Capable of lateral force mode operation. Capable of magnetic force microscopy measurements. Capable of force-distance spectroscopy measurements. Capable of imaging in fluids including water and mineral oil. X-Y stage capable of accommodating samples that are at least 20 millimeters by 20 millimeters in area and up 4 millimeters in height. Stage must be capable of movement in the X and Y directions. Active or passive vibration isolation must be provided. �Integrated camera that provides a top view of the cantilever and sample surface �Computer and software necessary to operate the atomic force microscope in all the modes mentioned above and perform image analysis, particularly quantification of surface roughness. Software and hardware must allow for calibration of cantilever spring constants and quality factor calculation. �Installation of the system at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD along with training (minimum of one day) C. Responses: � All interested parties should notify this office in writing, mail, fax, or e-mail within the posted date.� Responses shall include: To what extent each of the specifications can be met. � �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 Employee standard that accompanies NAICS code [334516].
