66 -- POEMS-3 PLASMA OPTICAL EMISSION MASS SPECTROMETER SOL N68936-00-R-0024 DUE 011500 POC Margaret Keen, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-4665 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to enter into negotiations, on an other than full and open competition basis, with Thermal Jarrell Ash Corp., Thermo-Optek Service Operations, 27 Forge Parkway, Franklin, MA to procure, on a commercial basis, an ICP Plasma Optical Emission Mass Sprectrometer Instrument (POEMS-3), with accessories. This instrument is capable of both mass spectromatic and optical emission detection. Both the emission and mass analyzer systems share the same plasma source, sample introduction system, and user interface allowing the analyst to use the optical system, mass analyzer, or both for elemental analysis. The instrument has the capability of two analytical detection systems, optical emission and mass spectrometry, integrated into the same instrument package. Because of stringent space, utility and exhaust limitations, this is a critical feature. Required equipment includes: 1) POEMS-3, number 13953000 System and components with thefollowing features: OCP Ion source, Ion sampling interface, vacuum system and mass spectrometer, emissions, spectrometer/spectrograph, Thermospec/POEMS software, pentium data system; 2) Upgraded Pentium Data System, number 14015400; 3) High Resolution Option, number 13837700; 4) TJA 300 Autosampler, number 12930311; 5)Air-Cooled Water Chiller, number 5000002; 6) Exhaust Blower, number 13897101; 7) Vent Kit, number 13911900; 8) One year consumables supplies kit; 9) Torch kit, number 14042100; 10) Training on-site for one individual; 11)One year software maintenance. The instrument shall be installed in a designated space in the Government facility, China Lake, CA. The spectrometer instrument, containing the plasma ion source, mass spectrometer, and optical emission detector, and excluding vacuum pumps and peripheral hardware such as water chillers and refrigerators, shall operate from an existing laboratory electrical supply of 208V, single phase, 30 A maximum. The spectrometer instrument shalloperate with existing laboratory exhaust venting capabilities that do not exceed 500 cfm. Operational training, formal training, and software maintenance will be required. The instrument will be successfully demonstrated using acceptance criteria stated in the RFP. Required delivery is three months after award. See Note(s): 22. Posted 12/02/99 (W-SN405129). (0336)
