J -- FABRICATE AND OPTIMIZE THE LATERAL DEPOSITION OF POLY(ETHYLENE DIOXYTHIOPHENE) (PEDOT) AND OTHER PEDOT DERIVATIVES, AND TO DELIVER THESE SAMPLES FOR EVALUATION IN ELECTROCHROMIC CELL SOL N68936-97-Q-0653 DUE 011797 POC Esther A. Cook, Purchasing Agent, tel. 619-939-9658 or Sue Rizzardini, Contracting Officer. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competition basis to University of Florida, Chemistry Department, Gainesville, Fl. The contractor shall conduct a research effort to optimize the lateral deposition of PEDOT and its derivatives and to deliver the samples in accordance with paragraph 3.5.1. The Pedot derivative samples must be deposited from a solution that gives high conductivity and excellent electrochemical reversibility. This requires the solvents to be either propylene carbonate (PC), tetrahydrofuran (THF), or methyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether (MTFE). Other solvents that are compatible with MTFE are acceptable. The highest priority is to fabricate an oxidized (p-doped) polymer that meets the conductivity and reversiblility requirements. This requirement is Sole Sourced to University of Florida Chemistry Dept. for compatability. Requests may be faxed to 619-927-3488 or sent by mail to NAVAIRWARCENWPNSDIV., code 230000D Att.: Esther A. Cook, China Lake, CA 93555-6100. Requests shall include your firm's Tax Identification Number (TIN) including your Corporation Status and Commercail and Government Entity (CAGE) code, if one has been assigned. Request for quote will be available on or about January 17th. Award is expected to be made 20 of January. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0362)
