- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for proton single-event effects and displacement damagedose testing of microelectronics, photonics, and materials. Spedifications for proton beam time and related support services in support ofHeliospheric Imager (SoloHI) instrument for the Solar Orbiter mission, the MarsAtmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, and the Lunar Atmosphere and DustEnvironment Explorer (LADEE) mission are as follows: 1. A range of tuned proton energies appropriate for single-event effects and displacementdamage tests of packaged devices (board level and device level electronics) shall exist.This range shall be between 6.5 and 68 MeV. 2. The facility shall be able to accommodate Dewars appropriate for both liquid heliumand liquid nitrogen cryogenic testing.3. Proton beam structure shall be near-continuous to facilitate dynamic testing.4. Beam flux and energy accuracy acorss the irradiation area shall have less than 10%variance to facilitate accurate performance degradation results and pre-flightpredictions. 5. NASA/GSFC shall be the prime user of the proton beam during test campaigns in order toprovide controlled particle intensities (beam flux) and known beam structure to allow forproper post-irradiation data analysis. a. Shared user facilities provide uncertainties and increased risk for results and dataanalyses.6. Facility should be user-friendly to the radiation effects researcher in order to allowefficient and cost effective tessting.NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the services from The Crocker Nuclear Laboratory,University of California Davis (CNL/UCD) proton irradiation facility for evaluation ofspace flight hardware. The CNL/UCD facility meets several specific requirements that willallow accurate testing to be be performed. 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 4:30 p.m. local timeon September 7, 2011. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose 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 opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is NancyAbell, Goddard Space Flight Center, Mailstop 100, Greenbelt, MD 20771, Phone301-286-5867, Fax 301-286-1714, Email: Nancy.A.Abell@nasa.gov
