The Coastal Systems Station, NSWC, DD, intends to procure eight Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID) assemblies for the Flux Transformer Assemblies (FTA) of the Superconducting Gradiometer Magnetometer Sensor (SGMS). These SQUID assemblies are to be exact functional, electrical, and mechanical replacements for the existing SQUID assemblies. Specifications for the SQUID will be provided with the request for proposal. The government will provide a sample SQUID assembly, a SQUID electronics unit with cable, a SQUID electronics test unit, SQUID test software (PC based), drawings of the existing FTA and SQUID electronics, and 3 mil NbTi wire for reference and for use in fabrication and testing of the SQUID assemblies. Contractor will be required to identify any and all required modifications to the existing SQUID electronics unit required for proper operation of the new SQUID assemblies. The government furnished SQUID electronics unit will be modified, and ten additional modification parts kits will be provided to the government to allow modification of the remaining units. SQUID assemblies will be tested by the contractor to demonstrate that performance requirements are met. Results will be documented in a final report, along with all required modifications to the existing SQUID electronics unit. All work is to be completed within 120 days of award. Delivery of the SQUID assemblies shall be to the Coastal Systems Station, NSWC, DD, 6703 W. Hwy 98, Panama City, FL 32407-7001. (0162)
