Description

The Concrete and Materials Branch (CMB) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) has a requirement to purchase a Zeiss Xradia 620 X-ray microscope manufactured by Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC (Cage: 325W6) under NAICS Code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing for the non-destructive analysis and characterization of materials. The CMB requires an x-ray microscope with submicron resolution imaging at large working distances to be able to analyze a diverse set of sample sizes and types.� The system needs to be able to analyze samples using Resolution at a Distance (RaaD), which enables non-destructive imaging of a samples interior.� RaaD uses a scintillator, converting x-rays to a visible light image which is then magnified by microscope optics before acquisition by a CCD detector.� By leveraging RaaD, the Xradia Versa maintains highest resolution across large working distances, accommodating both sample, environmental chamber, and high precision load rigs without sacrificing resolution.� Due to the nature of the sample geometries and materials being analyzed, the Zeiss Xradia 620 X-ray microscope is the only one that meets the CMBs needs.� This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals.� A solicitation will not be issued.� However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� The information submitted must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the vendor�s ability to fulfill this requirement.� The contractor must also provide a description of their past experience in fulfilling requirements which are the same or similar to this requirement and references for each.� Vendors may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to Angie Stokes by email address angela.m.stokes@usace.army.mil no later than the date stated above.� Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.� The determination whether or not to compete this procurement is at the discretion of the Government.� All communications in response to this notice must be in writing.� No phone calls will be accepted.� All communication must include the reference number in the subject line stated above.
