This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is unrestricted. The NAICS Code for this synopsis/solicitation is 334416, Electric Coil, Transformer, and Other Inductor Manufacturing, Size Standard is 500 employees. Solicitation/Purchase Requisition Number F2KBAD2145A004-1 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). This document incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-58 effective 18 May 2012. The Government intends to award one (1) contract with three (3) contract line item numbers (CLIN): CLIN 0001: Field Coils 2 outer field coils with inner diameter less than 31.5" and great than 24". Capable of achieve >500 Gauss for less than 10 kW. 1. Ideally, the id will be as close to 24" as possible to maximize the field strength for the available power. 2. Outer Coils together run at less than 10 V at 500 Gauss for safety. Qty: 2 each Desired Delivery Date: 31 August 2012 FOB: Destination Inspection and Acceptance: Destination CLIN 0002: Field Coils DESCRIPTION: 2 inner field coils with inner diameter of 64". 1. Maximum outer diameter of 76". 2. Maximum width of 4", ideally 2" so that additional magnet coils can be added in the future to double field strength. This will make the magnets much more valuable to the lab by expandability and flexibility. 3. Capable of producing an inner axially constant 200 Gauss field with less than 10 kW of power. 4. Sufficient water cooling so that inner magnetic field can be increased to 500 Gauss at a later time. 5. Inner coils together to run at less than 12 V at 200 Gauss for safety. Qty: 2 each Desired Delivery Date: 31 August 2012 FOB: Destination Inspection and Acceptance: Destination CLIN 0003: Power Supplies DESCRIPTION: 1. One 10 kW power supply optimized to the inner field coils. a. One 10 V 1000 A power supply will initially power the inner field coils. Additional 10 V 1000 A power supplies can be used in the future to increase the maximum magnetic field. 2. One 10 kW power supply optimized to the outer field coils. b. Initially the outer coil magnets will be powered by 10 V 1000 A supply (1/2 the rated value) which will give us the opportunity to double our end magnetic field in the future with the purchase of an additional 10 V 1000 A supply. c. Rack mountable. d. Air cooled. e. 180-253 Vac 3 phase input. f. Controllable through external input to allow for fail safe systems (overheating protection, etc.). g. Low noise system (less than 50 mV noise levels). Qty: 2 each Desired Delivery Date: 31 August 2012 FOB: Destination Inspection and Acceptance: Destination The following provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation: FAR 52.204-7, Central Contractor Registration; FAR 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal; FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms & Conditions - Commercial Items; FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisition; FAR 52.225-25, Prohibition on Contracting with Entities Engaging in Sanctioned Activities Relating to Iran - Representation and Certification; FAR 52.233-1, Disputes; FAR 52.249-1, Termination for the Convenience of the Government (Fixed Price)(Short Form).
