This is a special notice prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 5.2, Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The contracting office for this notice is the 10th Contracting Squadron, USAF Academy, CO 80840. The US Air Force Academy (USAFA) intends to award a sole source commercial contract to TA Instruments - Water LLC, for a Rheometer attachment.
Description of Services:Rheometry is a vital tool in materials research and development. The US Air Force Academy is equipped with TA Instruments discovery hybrid rheometer (DHR). Owing to its modular design the functionality or a hybrid rheometer can be easily expanded through the addition of TA instruments DHR modular attachments. The additional functionality the Government requires is the dielectric rheometry module. This module will allow for substantial expansion in functionality allowing for simultaneous collection of dielectric and rheological measurements. This provides the ability to determine how a material is storing charge while being mechanically manipulated. This is highly advantageous for materials such as PVC, PFDF, PMMA, PVA, and other novel materials, composites, and blends.
The dielectric rheometry module should meet or exceed the following technical specifications when evaluated as described for each value:1. Compatible with TA DHR3 discovery hybrid rheometer2. Compatibility with environmental testing chamber for temperature control3. Capable of standalone dielectric measurements 4. Capable of simultaneous rheological oscillatory and dielectric measurements 5. Comes with disposable aluminum plates 6. Voltage range of at least 0.01 to 15V or greater range.7. Temp control: -100C to 300C or wider range. 8. Fully compatible with TRIOS software 9. Dielectric frequency range: 20 Hz to at least 2 MHz10. Smart swap install and removal11. Compatible with PVDF material 12. Must have instrument software.
The market research results indicate that TA Instr...
