- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the following specifications: ?The CMBpol project is the project that studies the cosmic microwave background polarization. In this project, thermal detector is developed. The thermal detector consists of several microwave superconducting components. These components are fabricated using a thin film process. These components must be tested in a cryogenic environment to verify their proper operations. The testing required a cryogenic probe station in order to do calibration and measurement at the temperature below 4 Kelvin with a high degree of accuracy. ?In addition to its usage in the CMBpol mission, it can be used in the MIDX project and the Beyond Einstein probe mission. There is no regulations related to this equipment. ?To performed measurement of the development parts in a well defined environment and with the high degree of accuracy in the microwave frequency ranges from 1 GHz to 50 GHz. ?The successful measurement results in qualified parts or prove of concept parts for use in space missions. ?The contractor is responsible for providing pre-assemble parts in a sub-system level. The contractor is responsible for delivering parts to the NASA Goddard Space Flight center. The complete system will be fully assembled by NASA qualified personnel. ?The contractor will manufacture parts, assemble the products in the subsystem level and send them to the NASA center for the final assembly. There is no management required by NASA. The unit must come with: *Open cycle sample stage refrigerator (4.2 K to 475 K) with calibrated silicon diode temperature sensor (DT-670-SD-1.4H) and cold head stage heater (50 W) *Aluminum base plate (45.7 cm2 [18 in2]), with four XYZ precision micro-manipulated probing stages with travel of X = 51 mm (2 in), Y = 25 mm (1 in), Z = 18 mm (0.71 in) *Cooled radiation shield and cooled IR-absorbing window above the sample. *Lake Shore Model 332 temperature controller for cold head regulation and to monitor probe arm temperature *Four 8.1 cm (3.2 in) legs supplied for table top operation *Thermally linked probe mounts, one of which includes a platinum temperature sensor installed *High efficiency helium transfer line with foot valve for precise flow regulation *One SH-1.25-G grounded sample holder that accommodates up to a 32 mm (1.25 in) diameter sample *High-resolution 17-inch color video monitor *Coax sample illumination via fiber optic from adjustable light source and power supply. *Basic tools, spares, and cleaning kit ?The operating temperature at the sample holder must be less than 4 Kelvin. ?The probe station must contain two microwave probes and two dc probes that have sufficiently land on the test device. ?All four probe arms must have 6-pin hermetically sealed feed thru. ?One probe arm must have a mounting for MCW-14 GGB probe card and has wires that can be attached to the connector of the MCW-14 GGB probe card. ?The unit must come with a stand with pneumatic vibration isolation system. ?It must contains a 3.0 K base temperature stage pumping ?The 16:1 zoom monoscope video camera with 3um resolution must be included in the system. ?The probestation must contains a Ring-lit sample illumination. ?The microwave and DC probe components that comes with the system are as follows: *two of the GSG-200-50A-26U-D 2.4 mm connector, 200 ?m pitch, 50 GHz. Each unit must come with the theta planarization module GSG-TPM. *one Z50-CU-SS-3650-T Ultra miniature cryogenic coaxial probe cable with SMA connector at probe end to 3-lug triax feedthrough (for low leakage guarded measurements to 50 MHz, 475 K) *one ZN50R-03-W probe tip with 3 ?m tip radius, tungsten, up to 1 GHz *one ZN50-26U Stripline probe body mount Deliverables or Delivery Schedule: ?The contractor shall provide the required parts and deliver within 10 weeks once the purchase order has been received. ?There is not special expertise and services, training, and documentation for this unit ?All required components must be delivered to the NASA Goddard Center by June 30, 2007. ?The manufacture must provide a packing slip, assembly instruction and operation manual along with the delivery parts. ?All parts must be packaged properly. Damaged parts during shipments are not accepted. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc. The results from the market research identify Lake Shore Cryotronics Inc. as the only company that provides the above items. The authority is 10 U.S.C 23049(c)(1)only one responsible source. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the procedures set forth in FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures. DO Rating is DO-C9. This synopsis shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the solicited. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing via fax, email, or mail to NASA GSFC attention Jasmine Jett, code 210.3, Bldg. 11, Room S222, 8800 Greenbelt Road Greenbelt Maryland 20771 no later than 4:30 p.m. EST on 04/13/2007. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". All technical questions should be submitted to Jasmine Jett via email: Jasmine.N.Jett@nasa.gov or facsimile at 301-286-9159 no later than 04/06/2007.
