Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is issuing this combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation is being issued on an other than full and open competition basis to Bruker Instruments, Inc., Fremont, CA, because of compatibility issues with three Bruker units currently being used in the laboratory. The instruments operate on proprietary software for processing and analyzing the resulting data. Only "Bruker" software can run Bruker spectrometers and read Bruker-formated data. Commonality of instruments is essential to retain the ability to move data/experiments rapidly and easily from spectrometer to spectrometer and to exchange specific components from one spectrometer to another. The associated standard industrial classification code (SIC) is 3826. The following equipment is being procured: Line Item 0001 and subline items include a Bruker Avance 400WB High Performance Digital NMR Spectrometer console including a magnet control system, 13 gradient shim unit and BSMS keyboard shim control unit, single-rack spectrometer cabinet, BLAXH 100/50 transmitter system including a 1H, 19 F 50 Watt transmitter for observe and homonuclear and heteronuclear decoupling, 100 watt X-frequency transmitter covering the frequency range from 6-160 Megahertz, Multilink 1H, 2D BB preamplifier, ATR quadrature receiver with 22 MHz IF, 16-bit digitiser, Silicon Graphics O2 workstation with Bruker specific hardware and software installed and a CD read-write for data archiving, HP LaserJet Printer, Bruker NMR-Suite software, associated peripheral devices, and table; a digital variable temperature control unit accurate to + or -- 0.2 degrees C and a maximum temperature of 200 degrees C; a low temperature accessory including 25 liter N2 Dewar, heat exchanger and insulated transfer line for operation down to -100 degrees C; complete system delivery and installation including two tuitions to Bruker training courses at Bruker facility; a copy of Bruker NMR Suite and accompanying site license appropriate for setting up a second PC-based stand-alone workstation for autonomous data processing; complete system documentation on CDROM and printed manuals XWINNMR, XWINPLOT, and ICON-NMR; reconditioning of an existing 400 MHz magnet system including disassembly, replacement of cryoseals, reassembly, cooling and re-energization of magnet system.
