Description

The purpose of this amendment is to delete the following information from this Combined Synopsis/Solicitation: *** The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to purchase One (1) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath.*** Background: The NIST Center for Neutron Research does basic materials research that is useful for many basic and applied science disciplines including biology, chemistry, condensed matter physics, polymer research, etc. The purpose of this procurement is to increase the number of temperature baths used for sample temperature control on multiple neutron scattering instruments. These temperature baths are all the same so that they may be interchanged as necessary and so that their controls are familiar for the group of scientists employing them. The objective of this procurement is to purchase a Julabo LH-41 temperature control bath, along with providing options for the future purchase of this same item. Brand Name Only Justification: The Julabo model LH-45 is discontinued and model LH-41 takes its place with the same specifications as a drop-in replacement, including the software control. Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath has proven to be very reliable, capable, and fast. The reasons that we wish to purchase this Brand Name Only item are: 1) to maintain a consistent equipment interface for local and guest researchers; 2) to serve as a drop-in replacement spare; and 3) to prevent duplication of effort that would be required to integrate a new system. The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) presently has three Julabo LH45 ultra-low refrigerated circulators that have a working temperature range from -40 to 250 C. These are all used on neutron scattering instruments for control of the sample environment. The NCNR is a user facility serving approximately 1000 unique guest researchers per year, putting a great emphasis on the reliability, uptime and standardization of our equipment. ***Line item 0001 is BRAND NAME ONLY requirements. ***All interested Contractors shall provide a quote for the following: Line Item 0001: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath. Line Item 0002: 2 (two) Triple insulated (-350 C), 1.5 meter Metal tubing, M16 x 1. Line Item 0003: 1 (one) Thermal P60 bath fluid, 10 liters. Line Item 0004: 1 (one) Thermal P60 bath fluid, 5 liters. Line Item 0005: 2 (two) External PT 100 temperature sensor, 20 x 2 mm, stainless steel, 1 meter cable. Line Item 0006: 2 (two) 3.5 meter extension cable for PT 100 temperature sensor. Line Item 0007: 2 (two) adapters M16 x 1 female to NPT ¼” male. OPTION LINE ITEMS: The following items are option line items. The Contractor shall provide pricing for these items. Prices quoted shall be effective for a period of one year from the date of award. Award of option line items is at the sole discretion of the Government in accordance with 52.217-7. Option year 1 Option Line Item 0008: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option Line Item 0009: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option year 2 Option Line Item 0010: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option Line Item 0011: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option year 3 Option Line Item 0012: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option Line Item 0013: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option year 4 Option Line Item 0014: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath Option Line Item 0015: 1 (one) Julabo LH-41 Temperature Bath And add the following information to the combined Synopsis/Solicitation: *** The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to purchase One (1) Julabo Presto Plus LH-40 Air Cooled Temperature Bath. *** Background: The NIST Center for Neutron Research does basic materials research that is useful for many basic and applied science disciplines including biology, chemistry, condensed matter physics, polymer research, etc. The purpose of this procurement is to increase the number of temperature baths used for sample temperature control on multiple neutron scattering instruments.
