TO PROCURE COMPONENTS REQUIRED TO BUILD VACUUM CHAMBER SYSTEM. SIC Code 3821 NAICS Code 333295, Size Standard 500 employees. This is a Sole Source procurement synopsis published for informational purposes only. Solicitation documents are not available. This proposed contract action is for procurement of Components to build a vacuum system that meets the following specifications: Vacuum systems (chamber, load lock, flanges, and pumps) capable of sustained operation at 10 (-9th) torr pressure. The main vacuum chamber must have: a minimum of eight flanges (ports) on the main vacuum chamber. Unused ports must be adequately capped or used as viewports; at least one 8" flange for possible interfacing with a GFE ion pump; A minimum of eight electrical feedthroughs that are rated for greater than 500 volts and ensure the transport of current in the range of picoamps up to a few amps; a minimum of 2 viewports oriented on the center of the chamber; ability to accommodate a 2.8" x 2.8" x 2" sample volume in the center of the chamber; a dry vacuum pump able to pump from 1 x 10 (-3rd) to 1 x 10 (-6th) torr in less than 60 min and achieve an ultimate pressure of at least 10 (-9th) torr. A GFE rough pump will be provided with KF25 connection for main chamber roughing; able to vent or open chamber without shutting down pumps that provide high vacuum. Be able to switch samples while keeping the main chamber under vacuum. Sample mount dimensions will be up to 2.8" x 2.8" x 2". Pressure measurement system capable of measuring and displaying pressure from atmosphere to 10 (-9th) torr in any and all chambers. The ability and equipment needed to vent any and all chambers. High vacuum/high voltage rated electrical cables to connect all eight feedthrough pins to reliable push connections on the sample mount. Thus, these cables must be able to span the longest internal chamber distance. Connections will be provided by bidder. GFE sample mount will have push connections to the sample platform which will be "fastened" inside the main chamber. All components must be able to be assembled without any welding. Kurt J.
