66 -- A MICROANALYSIS SYSTEM SOL N68335-99-R-0128 POC Carol A. Montgomery, (732) 323-7431 A Microanalysis System for SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscope), 1 each, to be integrated into the existing MS Windows 95 based analysis system network to enhance capabilities. Detailed salient characteristics are listed in the solicitation. This is a request for a commercial item. This procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR 12 and 13, as authorized by FAR 13.6-Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The full system including hardware and software must be an existing off-the-shelf design. Prototypes and new designs will not be considered. The system must be demonstrated to meet the Government's minimum requirements and each proposed system must be technically reviewed by the Government for the system's suitability for its intended use. The Government's minimum requirements are, but not limited to: a spark-source optical emission analyzer and xray source wavelength-dispersive sequential xray fluorescence spectrometric analysis system. The system shall be capable of performing qualitative and quantitative analysis of metallic and non-metallic materials to determine chemical composition by element and weight percent, foreign material contamination, and defects in manufacture. The optical emission analyzer shall consist of a microprocessor-controlled, capacitor discharge spark-source emitter, a single, purged, echelle grating spectrometer possessing, and a Charge Injection Device (CID) detector employing Random Access Integration (RAI) and Non Destructive Readout(NDRO). The wavelength-dispersive sequential xray fluorescence analyzer shall consist of a 3.6 kilowatt, minimum, solid state, microprocessor-controlled xray excitation source, an end mounted beryllium-window xray tube with a maximum coupling distance of 20 mm between sample surface and anode of xray tube, a single, gearless, independently coupled, upward facing goniometer with collimator, crystal, and detector sets to perform quantitative detection of the elements beryllium through uranium with high to very high precision, ability to analyze solids, liquids, metal particles and drillings, loose powders, and pressed powders and perform standardless analysis utilizing Uniquant 4 software. Each analyzer shall be controlled through a MS Windows-95 or -98 based PC. Controller PCs and all connectors and connecting cables shall be supplied with the system. Additional software and system requirements appear in the solicitation. Please fax requests for the solicitation to P. Toth @ (732) 323-2359/7440. This solicitation is unrestricted. Sic Code is 3826, 500 employees. Posted 02/22/99 (W-SN300938). (0053)
