PR: F2BBAE7114A001 Filomena Gomez 04 June 2007 NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE - 06 June 2007 -This serves as a "Notice of Intent" to issue a purchase order under FAR 13.501, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, to EVANS ANALYTICAL GROUP, on a Sole Source basis to purchase the following line items: CLIN 0001: 1. Service to be provided: Trace analysis characterization by secondary mass spectroscopy (SIMS), to be performed on specimens provided by AFRL/SNHC. Number of measurements required a. 10 measurements using oxygen ion bombardment species b. 10 measurements using cesium ion bombardment species Two configurations of specimens supplied by AFRL/SNHC shall be investigated. A. Bulk crystal specimens 5mm x 5mm or greater B. Layer analysis on 5mm x 5mm or greater surface 2. Reports: One report for each specimen analyzed. Report must give detection limits of elements for system used, quantification of elements, instrumental conditions, and results of trace analysis by elemental concentration in atoms/cm3 vs. depth in a graphical format. 3. Advance notice: Personnel from AFRL/SNHC will mail specimens as needed to the service supplier. 4. Turn-around time: Two weeks after receipt of specimens, the report is due. 5. Number of specimens.
