Description

Background "Arnold Air Force Base intends to issue an IDIQ contract to North Star Research Center, 4421 McLeod, NE, STE A, Albuquerque, NM 87109 for the acquisition of an electron- beam accelerator. A pulsed-power system is sought which is compact in design and capable of delivering electrons for long durations to test articles mounted in a vacuum chamber. The electron-beam accelerator must be compact in design, be of a true direct current operation, and have the ability to store up to 1.3 kJ to deliver an extracted beam of 5 mA for greater than 1 min with separately variable DC currents and operating voltage of at least 0.5 MV to 1.8 MV. The procurement to include the beam optics to spread beam to 0.2 uA/cm2/sec coupled to a vacuum chamber 3ft in diameter by 3 ft long, solid-state controls, machine diagnostic gauging, installation and training. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the FAR Authority 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
