66 -- FOCUSED ION BEAM MILLING SYSTEM SOL N00014-97-R-CR02 DUE 061097 POC Alan W. Crupi, Contract Specialist, Code 3220.CR and Kevin M. King, Contracting Officer, Code 3220.KK, (202) 767-4595 E-MAIL: Click here to request a copy of Solicitation N00014-97-R-CR02., synopsis@contracts.nrl.navy.mil. The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL's) synopsis published January 13, 1997 is modified to make this requirement unrestricted, clarify effective date of exercising options, and extend receipt of proposals. NRL has a requirement for one (1) Focused Ion Beam Milling Machine System (FIBMS). The system must be capable of operating in a class 100 clean room environment with the following characteristics: overall acoustic noise level is less than 70 dbc (up to 2000 Hz), emi noise level is below 3m Gauss p-p and the following floor vibration levels: below 30 micro meter/sec (2-90 Hz), 10 micro meter/sec (90-115 Hz), 3 micro meter/sec (115-130 Hz), and 10 micro meter/sec (130-300 Hz) rms both horizontally and vertically. The system must include an ion-beam column, signal image detection, specimen handling, navigation capability, vacuum system, and computerized system control. The system shall be delivered and installed at the Naval Research Laboratory within six (6) months after contract award. The requirementincludes an acceptance demonstration capability of the installed system, on-site training of no more than five (5) days and a twelve (12) month warranty. The requirement has three options which, if exercised, shall be delivered, installed, and integrated with the FIBMS. The options shall be a gas handling system, secondary ion mass spectrometer, and a computer aided design (CAD) navigation control. The gas handling system must be self-contained gas injection units. The secondary ion mass spectrometer shall be mounted on the FIBMS chamber for in situ analysis. The spectrometer must have depth profiling, end point detection, atomic mass unit detection, and elemental image mapping capabilities. The CAD must have synchronized navigation with specimen stage control and a navigation code with commercial or commonly available software/hardware. The options may be exercised anytime within 270 days after date of contract award. The solicitation will be extended until 10 June 1997. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered. Telephone requests for this solicitation will not be honored.
