X Ray Source

Notice Information Solicitation: F1TBAP9021A003 Agency/Office: Air Force Materiel Command Location: 96th Contracting Squadron (Eglin AFB) Title: 6MeV Modular high-energy X-ray Source Description(s): Added: Jan 08, 2009 10:34 am The 46TS/OG, Eglin Air Force Base, Valparaiso, Florida is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis for market research purposes. Title: 6MeV Modular high-energy X-ray Source, consisting of the following: The System must have dual energy capabilities; 6MeV and 3.5MeV. It must be a commercially off the shelf item and it must also fit into the following specifications: 1.0 Equipment Features 1.1 Control System The control system must use a programmable logic controller (PLC) to control and monitor all functions. 1.2 Control Console The standard control console shall be a touch screen display system. 1.3 An internally mounted single spot laser alignment system is used to align the X-ray beam to an object being radiographed. 2.0 Performance 2.1 The X-ray beam quality is specified using Half Value Layer (HVL) in steel. The HVL numbers are derived from a compilation of broad beam data. The maximum continuous dose rate measures at 1 meter (10 cm x 10 cm Field) without flattening filter. Dose rate is reduced with flattening filter. Model Nominal HVL Flatness Max. Dose Rate Energy (MeV) (in) (% @ - 7.5) (Gy/min) Low 3.5 0.96 ?71.0 2.50 High 6.0 1.10 ?62.0 8.00 2.2 X-ray Field Size A 30 cone or 22.5 square defines the field. 2.3 X-ray Beam Focal Spot Size The focal spot size shall not exceed 2.0 mm in diameter. 2.4 X-ray Beam Symmetry The beam asymmetry does not exceed 5% at - 7.5 off the central axis for all energies. 2.5 Radiographic Quality The Unit system will demonstrate sensitivity over the ranges given in Table 2 using film detection. Table 2 Model Nominal Range Energy (MeV) (mm) 6.0 51-254 2.6 Standard Leakage Radiation The leakage radiation is measured at 1 meter from the beam centerline at angles 60 and greater, outside the primary beam. The primary beam central axis dose rate measured with a 10 cm x 10 cm collimator at 6MeV Energy cannot exceed leakage of 1x10-3. 3.0 HERD Facility Power 3.1 The current power setup at the HERD is 480 VAC 3 Phase 4 wire with Ground 60 Hz. The system must be able to adapt or use the current power available. 4.0 Other Equipment Required 4.1 A new 5 Ton Crane is required along with this purchase to replace the old Crane setup. Along with the crane the company must provide the General Arrangement Drawing, Electrical Schematics, Shop Test with Load, Three O and M Manuals, Three Sets of drawings and a CD in PDF Format. Technical Information for the new crane system: 1. Provide a new 5 Ton Crane with modified YALE BEW5-20TR12D4 Trolley Hoist 2. Remove the old 1 - Ton Crane at the same time as the new crane install 3. Span 25'-0" Special design for installation 4. Designed to CMAA 70, Class C Service 5. Use current Voltage setup of 480V-3Ph-60Hz 6. Hoist Speeds shall be 12/1.2 FPM and must be Two Speed VFD Controlled 7. Trolley Speeds shall be 20/5 FPM and must be Two Speed VFD Controlled 8. Bridge Speeds shall be 20/5 FPM and must be Two Speed VFD Controlled 9. Trolley must include a Limit Switch 10. Bridge must include a Limit Switch 11. Bronze Hook to be rated to 2 tons 12. Best effort to provide lift equal to existing 1 - Ton Hoist 13. Trolley and bridge brakes 14. Welding per AWS D 14.1 with 100% visual inspection only 15. NEMA 12 Electrical Enclosure 16. Yellow Safety paint to match current setup. Interested parties with the ability to satisfy the minimum requirements should submit corporate information to include commercial brochures and/or technical capabilities of the proposed system. This is not a solicitation announcement and this notice does not constitute any commitment by the Government. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions for future requirements.
