Synopsis:

SUBJECT: HIGH PRECISION SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF THERMAL EMISSIONSPECTRA AND FLAME INTENSITY FROM HIGH TEMERATURE FLAME This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED. Responses shall reference Request for Quotations No. DE-RQ26-08NT00683 the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA intends to purchase the following High precision system for measurement of thermal emission spectra and flame intensity from high temperature flame with the following specifications: (1 each) Continuous of wavelength range from 300 nm through 6,000 nm. 1. Multiple grating mounting system for accommodation of an extended range through automatic change of gratings, 2. Field inter-changeable gratings for modification of range and span of the multiple grating mount in the field. 3. Capability of later expansion of range to 20,000 nm; Slit mounting system designed to allow a selection of slits to be mounted including both fixed and adjustable slits 1. Initial fixed and computer adjustable motorized slits for operation over the wavelengths specified with the detectors supplied. Fixed slits shall be provided for use over the specified wavelengths and one motorized slit shall be provided for additional flexibility. Slits and slit holders shall be supplied; Filter sheel for order sorting and other filters. At least 6 filter holders on the sorting wheel. Computer control (or remote hand controller control) of the filters through the same system that controls the spectrometer/monochrometer system; Built in shutter for dark levels or safety when changing filters; Detectors for spanning the specified wavelength range (300nm-6,000nm); System shall be used for sensing intensity of lines and bands for assessment of absolute intensity across the range. Equipment (hardware and software) shall be selected to meet the purpose. System shall be capable of reporting intensity of individual lines and bands to better than 1% accuracy; Computer control of the system (through a stand-alone computer program) 1. Software must be capable of radiometry and traceable absolute intensity identification; LabView Vis for control under a lab-view system; USB-2.0 connection; Hand controller option similar to a TV remote to allow operator direct control of the system; System purge for argon to prevent dust, CO2, and H20 vapor from entering the apparatus during operation; Dual output ports for simultaneous mounting of two detectors; Light leakage 250 mm; Wavelength accuracy: 0.35 nm; Resolution: 0.15 nm; Slew rate: 205 nm/sec (with 1200 1/mm grating); F# 3.9. The provisions at 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items (JAN 1999) does not apply to this acquisition. Instead, the following information will be used for evaluation of offerors: An award shall be made to the responsible offeror submitting a technically acceptable quote and offering the lowest evaluated price. Evaluation is based on best value including cost and ability to meet stated requirements above. Offerors shall submit descriptive literature and drawings detailing features, technical capabilities and warranty data. Technical acceptability will be determined solely on the content and merit of the information submitted response to this provision as it compares to the minimum characteristics provided above. Therefore, it is essential that offerors provide sufficient technical literature, documentation, etc., in order for the Government evaluation team to make an adequate technical assessment of the quote as meeting technical acceptability. Price shall be the deciding factor among technically acceptable quotes. All interested firms must respond to DE-RQ26-08NT000683 by 05:30 P.M. EST, JUNE 30, 2008. The North American Industry Classification (NIAC) is 334516. ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHALL SUBMIT OFFERS WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: Federal Tax Identification (TIN); Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS); and remit to address if different. A Firm Fixed Priced Purchase Order shall be issued using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures FAR Part 13. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) is totally set-aside for Small Business. . Quotes may be faxed to Mr. Robert Mohn, at 412-386-5770 or and must be E-mailed to both Robert.Mohn@netl.doe.gov and Thomas.Ochs@netl.doe.gov . All technical questions should be directed to the Technical Representatives Mr. Thomas Ochs at 541-990-5443.
