- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the acquisition of a set of cryogenic cableharnesses. The cable assembly consists of 6 identical subassemblies, each with 50 pairsterminating in 100-pin Micro-D connectors, integrated into one complete assembly. Theoverall heat load from 300K to 3K must be below 30mW. Prior experience with making suchcable assemblies is crucial, as several aspects of the design and fabrication of reliablelarge-scale cryogenic cabling are critically dependent on craftsmanship.This assembly is to be suitable for interfacing warm electronics to cryogenic detectors. The cable assembly must be made to our wiring specifications using fine alloy wire pairs.It must be made of materials suitable for temperatures down to 3K (-270 degrees Celsius)in a vacuum environment. It must have a hermetic seal in the middle of the cable assemblyso as to provide electrical continuity through from the outside environment into thevacuum environment. The wires must be supported in a low thermal conductivity wovennetwork of fibers to provide mechanical ruggedness suitable for repeat handling, ahundred mate/demate cycles, and a hundred warm-to-cold cycles.NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Tekdata Interconnections, LTD pursuant toFAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonablyavailable from only one source.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 2:30 p.m. EasternStandard Time on the date specified above. Such capabilities/qualifications will beevaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct thisprocurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to competethis proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to thisnotice, 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".
