Kin-Tek FlexStream Gas Standards Generator and Thermal Fuses

Synopsis - Sole Source Requirement NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has a requirement for Kin-Tek FlexStream Gas Standards Generator and Thermal Fuses as detailed below: ITEM DESCRIPTION QTY Delivery PRICE 001 FlexStream Base EC - 115V 1 FOB Dest 002 FlexStream TM PM 115VAC (Permeation Module) 1 FOB Dest 003 FlexStream SD 115VAC(Secondary Dilution) 1 FOB Dest 004 Thermal Fuse Shut Off at 72C 6 FOB Dest NASA/KSC intends to award to Kin-Tek Analytical Inc. (Kin-Tek) DUNS: 079460166, CAGE Code: 7F7X2 as they are the sole source capable of fulfilling the Government's requirement. Delivery is FOB Destination, Net 30. Request is made to provide anticipated delivery date within 14 days of award. Kin-Tek FlexStream Gas Standards Generator for the Kennedy Space Center. This will include a Flexstream Base EC - 115V, a Flexstream PM 115VAC, and a Flexstream SD 115VAC. The Flexstream Base EC - 115V is an enhanced permeation with touch screen interface for controlling operation modes and dilution flow. This module (along with the single oven module Flextream PM 115VAC) is installed in an expansion cabinet. The Flexstream SD 115VAC is an additional unit installed in the expansion cabinet which acts as a secondary dilution unit capable of working with the Flextream Base Module to provide sub-ppb concentration level. The Kin-Tek Flexstream Gas Standards Generator is needed because precisely generated low concentration vapor streams of a variety of concentration and environmental conditions is a unique capability provided by the Applied Chemistry Laboratory. Specifications - 115VAC/60Hz - Permeation Tube Ovens o Dilution flow range 0.25 - 5 slpm, N2 carrier o Digital Temperature control o Modular instrument o External computer control (option), RS-232/ethernet o 30'C - 150'C, vertical oven orientation o 0.01C oven setpoint resolution/control o Temperature stability of 0.1'C o 5000cc/min standard dilution full scale sample flow rate o Uses disposal permeation tubes, LHF, diffusion, pre-filled gas-fed, customer filled gas-fed o Output pressure 20psig - Secondary dilution module o 10000:1 dilution ratio o High purity mass flow controller - Packaged software data acquisition for use with Gas Standards Generator The support contracts being sought under this purchase request pertain to a single source: Kin-Tek is the only brand that provides a vapor generator capable of meeting the required specifications that are needed to support current applications (those in development, test, or deployed to operations) for KSC programs and projects.
