66 -- HIGH STABILITY MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED 100KV CONSTANT POTENTIAL X-RAY SYSTEM SOL 53SBNB760171 DUE 062497 POC Brenda K. Lee (301) 975-6394, CO Lisa K. Jandovitz (301) 975-6344 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate with Phillips Electronic Instruments Co., 5110 McGinnis Ferry Road, Alpharetta, GA 30202 to acquire on a sole source basis for one each MG103/4.5kW/MCN165: High stability microprocessor controlled 100kv constant potential X-ray system. The X-ray system includes: 9421.170.40002 -- 19" control unit, MGC40 with 10m interconnect cable including E-PROM and programmer; 9421.166.87033 -- Housing for control unit; 9421.170.40512 -- Electronic power supply MGP41; 9421.170.30112 -- 100kV minus H.V. generator MGG40; 9421.167.16263 -- Water cooler, WL 3001; 9421.166.29003 Cooling water hoses, 10m each; 9421.173.16052 -- 160kV H.V. cable 5m; 9421.166.90702 -- Adapter flange quick-lock; 9421.172.59042 -- MCN165-160kV, 18.7mA metal ceramic X-ray tube with double focus (0.4/3.0) Tungsten Anode with high voltage replaceable sockets; and, one each 9421.170.39352 -- Interface RS232C and (2) fiber optic cables 10M each. The X-ray system must provide maximum compatibility with our existing computer interfacing software and data acquisition and automation equipment. This system must offer a high-voltage cable compatibility with the NIST calibrated voltage divider, which will be an integral part in our calibrated X-ray system. The Government intends to solicit one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source, because Phillips Electronic Instruments is the only source that can provide a high-voltage generator with a 40 kilohertz, two-phase cascade circuit that is highly stable with a low ripple. The resulting absence of voltage and current interaction is of the highest importance for national standard calibration work, which requires stability and repeatability. Required delivery within 30 days from contract award. The contractor shall provide installation of the system within 30 days after delivery. FOB Gaithersburg MD. The contractor shall provide two (2) copies of the operating manual, two (2) copies Circuit Drawings, (2) copies Detailed dimensions & drawing of X-ray tube to include standard warranty and terms. Request for a solicitation package will be disregarded. Interested offerors may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements by submitting a capability statement. The capability statement must provide adequate information and qualifications of your ability to provide the requested system in order for the Government to consider whether to open this request for competition. However, all capability statements received within 15 days after date of preparation of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. See Note Numbered 1 (0160)
