The RFQ document and incorporated provisions/clauses are those in effect on 10/29/04 through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-25. This requirement is for the purchase of a research grade particle size analyzer system for the characterization of energetic and nanomaterials. The particle size analyzer system will also be used for supportability, performance, and producibility of munitions in the development and production life-cycle phases. The system will be all inclusive with all components necessary to analyze samples, generate data, and analyze data. System will include a computer, monitor and printer for data rendering and analysis. Technical Requirements 1. Particle size analysis range of 0.02 to 1,500 microns is required. 2. System must use a tri-laser light scattering wide angle method of analysis for optimum scattered light detection. 3. Software must create exportable data. 4. System will be upgradeable, modular, and supported by the contractor. 5. A warranty of no less than two years is required. 6. System must be the most recent system developed by the respective vendor with the most recent technology to prevent obsolescence. 7. Software must generate the volume, number and area distributions, percentile data, and must incorporate statistical analysis features. 8. Equipment will provide a module for wet sample analysis. 9. Equipment will provide an ultrasonic controller for sample analysis. 10. Software is necessary for instrument control. 11. Power requirements are 110 V, one phase. 12. Method of measurement and analysis should incorporate the uniform light theory. 13. Analysis software will be preloaded onto computer. Items one through nine (1-9) inclusive under Technical Requirements must be met for consideration. Delivery and Post Delivery Requirements 1.
