INTRODUCTION: This is the initial step in the planning process for Air Cooled Dry Pumps. The 377 MSG/PKB at Kirtland Air Force Base seeks sources to provide Air Cooled Dry Pumps (specifications attached). 377 MSG/PKB anticipates conducting a competitive acquisition for this effort. The effort is expected to result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. NAICS code is anticipated to be 333914, size standard 750. --- Specifications: Air Cooled Dry Pumps Air Cooled Multi Roots Pumps will be used to achieve first stage low pressure conditions necessary for achieving the ultra-high vacuum conditions required for all experiments conducted in the Plasma Chemistry lab. Pumps will need to mate to the current apparatus and should be maintenance free for at least 3 years to reduce long term costs. Two sizes of pumps are needed. Six each of a pump with a capable of at least 250 L/min and one with a capacity of at least 5,000 L/min 1) Common specs a. Must have no gas sealing fluid, i.e. it should be classified as a dry vacuum pump with an air discharge system b. The dry pump must be consistent with AFRL existing technology in our flow tube apparatus; i.e. it should mate to the current apparatus without redesign (Exhaust connection flange size NW25) c. The vacuum system should be made of stainless steel/aluminum flanges and UHV compatible components, where appropriate d. Any adapters necessary to mate to the current system will be included by the contractor e. Pumping Technology to be a multi stage roots blower f. Cooling: Air g. Must be able to pump from atmospheric pressure h. Maintenance schedule shall be a 3 year or more maintenance free period i. Vibration tolerance should be less than 8 ?mp-p with the inlet closed j. Shipping and handling will be included k. Warranty of at least two years including parts and labor 2) 6 Each, pumps with greater than or equal to 250/min capacity a. Maximum pumping speed shall be or or exceed 250 liters per minute (l/m) b. Size footprint must be compact to fit existing space near the apparatus: (W x H x L) 210 x 250 x 385 mm c. The weight limit shall be 23 kg d. Pump shall be quiet during its operation (56 db max) with the inlet closed e. Supply voltage should be 60 Hz, Single phase AC100-120V f. Inlet flange size should be NW25 g. Ultimate pressure should be at most 1Pa 3) 1 Each; pump with greater than or equal to 5,000/min capacity a. Maximum pumping speed shall or exceed be 5,000 liters per minute (l/m) b. Size footprint must be compact to fit existing space near the apparatus: (W x H x L) 304 x 575 x 574 mm c. The weight limit shall be 125 kg d. Pump shall be quiet during its operation (72 db max) with the inlet closed e. Supply voltage should be 60 Hz, Single phase AC200-240V f. Inlet flange size should be NW50 g. Ultimate pressure should be at most 0.3Pa --- 2. INSTRUCTIONS: All businesses capable of providing Air Cooled Dry Pumps are invited to respond electronically.
