- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items or services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP), Solicitation number FA7000-07-R-0032, in accordance with FAR Parts 12 & 13. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) FAC 2001-16 effective March 22, 2007 and Class Deviation 2005-00001 effective January 24, 2005. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) number is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. The proposed acquisition is a Brand Name or Equal for an Eddy Company SYS 24/16 Multi-Layer Precision Optical Coating System. All responsible sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by 10MSG/LGCB. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this synopsis. This Notice of Proposed Contract Action is the only solicitation submitted for this requirement. No formal solicitation will be issued prior to award. The USAF Academy has a requirement for a precision multi-layer optical coating system and associated electronics. As a whole, the coating system is a device capable of putting down multiple layers of dielectric coatings on various glass or metallic substrates. Multiple samples can be coated simultaneously, thickness can be monitored both during and after the coating run without opening the vacuum chamber, and the process must be repeatable and computer controlled for reliability Line Item 0001 Quantity 1 Each Unit Cost $__________ Extended Cost $__________ The following information provides the salient characteristics that will satisfy the Government?s needs: VACUUM CHAMBER AND PUMPING SYSTEM The vacuum chamber shall be a ?Box? coater with the following: Full opening hinged access door Auto release door clamp Vertical useable diameter ? 60 cm minimum to 80 cm maximum Chamber height ? 100 cm minimum to 125 cm maximum 304 stainless steel 2B finish and electro polished High vacuum valve (poppet type) with minimum 400 mm diameter valve opening High vacuum port located on side wall same elevation of evaporation source(s) Pump port baffle for vapor and heat reflection Cryopump pumping speeds Air-5200 l/s; water 16000 l/s; Ar 4500 l/s; Hydrogen 11000 l/s Cryopump regeneration valve 25 mm right angle - bellows sealed Chamber roughing valve 50 mm right angle - bellows sealed Vent valve (main) mm right angle - Roughing pump system ?57 CFM [peak] 2 stage direct drive Water cooling: Side, Base plate, top ?D? channels.
