Description
The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Sources and Detectors Group (https://www.nist.gov/pml/applied-physics-division/sources-and-detectors) in the Physical Measurement Laboratory performs precision radiometry across the electromagnetic spectrum. We develop novel, built-for-purpose detectors, some of which must operate under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to assess new detector materials for their UHV compatibility. Our lab seeks a UHV sample bakeout chamber that can be used to assess material outgassing during heating.
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a commercial solution that will achieve the objectives described above, in addition to the following essential requirements:
Physical Requirements:
Base pressure: 1e-8 Torr Partial pressure for masses 44 AMU: Integrated turbo pump system with roughing pump, vent valve, ion pressure gauge, controller and cable, power supply, gate valve to bakeout chamber Nitrogen backfill capability with pressure relief valve Achieve base pressure in 24 hours Bakeout chamber either 12” cube or 12” diameter sphere (minimum) with minimum of six (6) conflat ports One (1) conflat viewport minimum 600 CF, necessary blank-off flanges, gaskets, and hardware Minimum one (1) 2-3/4” conflat flange One (1) sample holder (minimum) with infrared heater able to hold 3” diameter (or larger) sample. Holder mounted on a CF flange Infrared heater able to achieve temperatures of at least 300 degrees C. Temperature control system for sample, including, for example, temperature controller w/software, cables, appropriate electrical feedthroughs, temperature sensor, etc. Wheeled support stand 120 V (Operate from NEMA 5...
