- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS for market research purposes. The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) is seeking Contractors with expertise in the design, fabrication, and testing of absolute cryogenic radiometers. Detailed information on the Contractor?s experience and expertise in building the same or similar equipment must be sent to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Acquisition and Logistics Division, Attn: Carol A. Wood, Contract Specialist, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 3571, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-3571. Submission must be received by 3:00 p.m. local time on May 21, 2004. Original submissions are required. Contractors shall identify their business size, (small, small-disadvantaged, hub-zone, large etc.) in accordance with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS ? IT IS FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. RESEARCH, DESIGN AND BUILD ABSOLUTE CRYOGENIC RADIOMETERS The Low Background Infrared (LBIR) facility performs infrared radiometric measurements in 20 K background environments under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The LBIR facility is currently seeking absolute cryogenic radiometers (ACR) for purpose of absolute radiometric measurements. The radiometers shall be required to match the performance of and interface with the electronics utilized in existing L-1 Standards & Technology radiometers. This sources sought notice is for two separate sets of ACRs. The first requirement is for the purchase of two ACRs that are technically equal to or technically superior to NIST?s existing Model CryoRad-B Receiver/Heat Sink Assembly manufactured by L-1 Standards and Technology, Inc. The radiometers must have: A cavity absorptance of 0.9998 at 632.8 nm; A wavelength range of 0.2 um to 50 um; A cavity entrance of 25 mm; A receiver thermal response time of less than 20 s; A receiver responsivity of greater than 210 K/mW; A dynamic range of at least 10 pW to 100 uW; A noise floor of less than 10 pW (30 second integration time); An electrical equivalence of less than 0.1%; and An operating temperature of 2 K. The second requirement is for the development, construction and delivery of a smaller more responsive ACR. The objective is to: Maximize responsivity; minimize noise floor (30 second integration time); Maintain a time response of less than 30 s; Have a minimum entrance aperture of 3 mm; A maximum power measurement capability of 10 uW; An electrical equivalence of less than 0.2 %; An operating temperature of 2 K; and A total length from entrance aperture to the back side of the heat sink of 5 cm.
