- Description
- FA8601-04-T-0026, MAGNETIC PROPERTY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM (MPMS): The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). The proposed source is Quantum Design, San Diego CA. Award is anticipated to be made to Quantum Design because they are the only manufacturer currently producing a state of the art instrument fully capable of meeting the Air Force Institute of Technology, Department of Physics’ need for the measurement of minute changes in magnetic fields. The NAICS code for this item is 334516, SIC 3829, size standard 500 employees. The item being procured is a Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) with the following minimum requirements: a. Must employ a super conducting interface device (SQUID) magnetometer b. Must provide a sample space oven temperature range of 1.9 to 800 degree Kelvin c. Must provide a continuous low temperature control and enhanced thermometry d. Must provide a reciprocating sample measurement system e. SQUID AC susceptibility measurement of 0.1 Hertz to 1 Kilo-Hertz range f. Ultra-low field capability of + or – 0.05 Gauss for the 5 tesla magnetic g. Horizontal and vertical sample rotating positioner h. Environmental magnetic shield i. Automatic magnet reset j. SQUID extended dynamic range (EDR) of + or – 300 emu k. External device control (EDC) l. Fiber optic sample holder m. Low field profiling n. Manual insertion utility probe o. Resistivity package p. Must use a 50,000 gauss superconducting magnetic q. Liquid helium dewar capacity = 56 liters r. Liquid helium usage = 5.5 liters per day This sole source synopsis is being published for information purposes only. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, any quotation received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered exclusively for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotations should be faxed to Rebecca Powers, 88th ABW/PKSB, 937-257-3926, or e-mailed to Rebecca.Powers@wpafb.af.mil no later than 9 Mar 04. Only quotations received by this date will be considered. Any questions should be directed to Ms. Powers at 937-257-6146 x4336.
