- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a cryogenic quartz crystal microbalance (CQCM) and controller to monitor the interior of test dewars used for the testing with the following minimum specifications: CQCM: Crystal Frequency: 15 Mhz Mass Sensitivity: better than 5 x 108 (Hz/gm)cm2 Dynamic Range: Better than 1 x 10-4 gm Temperature Range: 10 to 400 K Electrical Interface: 9-pin D Dimensions: smaller than 1 inch x 1 inch x 0.5 inch Silicon diode temperature sensing Controller: Supports simultaneous operation of 4 CQCMs Upgradeable to simultaneous operation of 12 CQCMs Rack-mountable RS232 serial link Reads silicon diode temperature sensor with 0.01 K resolution Reads frequency with accuracy of > 1 ppm Frequency range: 1 to 600 Hz NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from QCM Research because the controller from QCM can control multiple CQCM units and the electrial connector on the CQCM from QCM Research is compatible with the existing electrical cables for the test dewars. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (e-mail to Janicea McCree is preferred) no later than June 21, 2007. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing via fax, e-mail or mail to: NASA/GSFC, ATTN: Janicea McCree, Code 210.3, Building 11, Room S209, 8800 Greenbelt Road, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 no later than4:30 p.m. EST local time on June 26, 2007. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. This synopsis shall not be contrued as a commitment to the Government, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Technical questions should be submitted to Janicea McCree via e-mail at Janicea.L.McCree@nasa.gov or facsimile at 301-286-9159 no later than June 21, 2007.
