66 -- PURCHASE OF PRECISION SEMICONDUCTOR PARAMETER ANALYZER SOL 562-95041-920 DUE 112098 POC Mary E. McKaig, Contract Specialist for Simplified Acquisition, Phone (301) 286-4240, Fax (301) 286-1720, Email Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/GSFC/date.html#562-95041-920. E-MAIL: Mary E. McKaig, Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the purchase of a Hewlett Packard 4156B Precision Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer, 1fA measurement resolution. Includes: four 3.0m Kelving traix cables, four coax cables, one Interlock cable, I BASIC, keyboard, and manuals; option for 60Hz line frequency; and training kit (includes text book (non-dust paper), demo disk, and demo devices (packaged)). RFQ will also include Hewlett Packard 16493C Triaxial Cables (Option 002). This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Hewlett Packard Company, as this equipement is the standard used in the Component Technologies and Radiation Effects Branch for the kind of test and analysis done in that branch, and is the only equipement which meets our requirements. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html. Interested firms have 15 days from the publication of this synopsis to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities with respect to providing such items. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Responses received after the 15 days or without the required information will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note "B". Interested firms who feel they can submit a qualifications/capabilities statement must demonstrate in their response how they can meet the following specifications: Voltage Range, Resolution, and Accuracy: Voltage Range from +/-2V to +/-100V; Set Resolution from 100UV at 2V to 5MV at 100V; Set Accuracy from +/- (0.02%+400UV) at 2V to +/- (0.03%+15MV) at 100V; Measurment Resolution from 2UV at 2V to 100UV at 100V; Measurement Accuracy from +/- (0.01%+200UV) at 2V to +/- (0.02%+5MV) at 100V; Max Current 100MA Current Range, Resolution, and Accuracy: Current Range from +/-10PAMPS to +/- MAMPS; Set Resolution from 10FA to 10UA at +/- 100MA; Measurement Resoluton from 1FA at 10PA to 100NA at 100MA; Measurement Accuracy from +/- (4%+20FA+1FAXVOUT/100) at 10PA to +/- (0.1%+20UA+100NAXVOUT) at 100MA; Max Volts 100V Voltage Source Unit Specifications: Voltage Range +/- 20V; Measurement Resolution 1MV; Measurement Accuracy +/- (0.05% of setting + 10MV) Voltage Monitor Unit Specifications: Voltage Range from +/- 2V to +/- 20V; Measurement Resolution from 2UV at 2V to 20UV at 20V; Measurement Accuracy rom +/- (0.02%+200UV) at 2V to+/- (0.02%+1MV) at 20V Posted 10/30/98 (D-SN267052).
