MEMORANDUM FOR: AFTC/PZIOB 5 September 2012 FROM: 46th Test Support Squadron SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for Pace IR3000 Ball Grid Array Rework System 1. Justification: a. Non-Technical Description: This is a firm-fixed contract for purchase of a Pace IR3000 Ball Grid Array (BGA) rework system with 15" flat screen monitor and software. Delivery is thirty (30) days after receipt of order (ARO). b. Statement of Facts: The Electronic Design Flight (TSDE) of the 46th Test Support Squadron (TSS) is charged with providing the Department of Defense an in-house electronic design, development, and fabrication capability in support of aircraft, weapons, and command, control and intelligence (C2I) testing. This Flight focuses its expertise in analog and digital circuit design and develops Printed Circuit Cards (PCB) in-house. Design of PCBs is accomplished using a Pace Model XR3000 X-ray inspection system and a ball grid array (BGA) rework system. The current rework system, Model TF-1700, is obsolete and becoming unreliable, necessitating a direct replacement. 1) Time Constraint: Acquisition of this hardware is necessary to meet scheduled mission requirements related to Eglin Test and Training customers need for the development of unique instrumentation or other electronic systems that may be required to successfully control and/or collect data from munitions or command and control (C2I) systems test and training programs. 2) Unique Capabilities: The two (2) components of this system, the X-ray and the BGA rework machine, are needed in order for the PCB design and fabricate function to work. The Model IR3000 rework system is semi-automatic, fully area array capable and is designed to easily install or remove ball grid array components from circuit boards The Pace system features a high resolution, color digital camera with PC controlled zoom, focus, auto-focus, and lighting control. The rework system is unique in that is uses Pace exclusive, custom developed, software based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithms to calculate "error" values and maximizes the capabilities of the X-ray by integrating with the software. In addition, the IR3000 features a IR thermal sensor designed to control the heating to exact specifications c. Brand Name: Acquisition of this brand name product is essential. If this specific rework system is not acquired, the Squadron will have to invest in new inspection equipment that will interface with the BGA machine. Squadron employees will require extensive (at least 1 week) training to operate another brand of BGA rework system effectively. Acquisition of the Pace brand is necessary because any system downtime, incompatibility, or loss of progress in support of design and fabrication of PCBs would adversely affect TSS' mission. The Pace brand name meets the government's minimum requirements. Other brands of rework systems come with their own unique software which would be acceptable if the system was being utilized as a standalone system, however, in this case the Pace rework system is integrated with the Pace X-ray system. This requirement limits integration to brands that speak the same language. d. Market Research: A search of other BGA rework system brands was conducted to determine if any other product met the government's minimum requirements. The technical capabilities of each of the following products were reviewed: Pace Model IR3000; Metcal Model BGA-3592; and Manncorp Model BR750. Although the other brands possess the same capabilities as Pace, form, fit, and function issues prevent the co-mingling of product lines. Acquisition of this brand name is essential to government requirements thereby precluding consideration of a product from another manufacturer. As the Pace brand best met the performance, footprint, interoperability, scalability, and flexibility required in design and fabrication of PCBs, TSS recommends acquisition of the Pace Model IR3000 BGA rework system.
