A -- DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A TEST BED FOR INVESTIGATING THE APPLICATION OF CONTROL CONCEPTS TO NUCLEAR QUADRUPOLE RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY SOL DACA88-95-R-0025 due 071395. Contacts, Ms. Pamela Patton, 217/352-6511 ext. 7589/Contracting Officer, Ms. Deloras Adamson, 217/373-7297. The Engineering Division, of the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL), requires the Design and Implementation of a Test Bed for Investigating the Application of Control Concepts to Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) Spectroscopy. The Contractor shall be required to build a functioning nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrometer and demonstrate that it works. In addition, the Contractor shall create a theoretical model that explains the phenomena of closed loop feedback control. The proposed procurement will be on a sole source basis IAW FAR 6.302-1. The Contracts Office at USACERL, intends to negotiate a Short Form Research Contract on a cost reimbursement basis with Pennsylvania State University, for services available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracting for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Request for Proposal (RFP) DACA88-95-R-0025 will be issued on or about 29 May 1995, with the closing date on or about 13 July 1995. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals in writing. Responses should be addressed to USACERL, Attn: Contracts Office, P.O. Box 9005, Champaign, IL 61826-9005. There will be no telephone requests accepted. See Numbered Note 22. (128)
