About this file

This document contains questions and answers relating to a federal solicitation for an Optical-Access Cryogenic Measurement System. The solicitation is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology within the Department of Commerce, and seeks a system capable of achieving a base temperature of 0.9K before single-shot operation. The system must also have a maximum height of 1.5 meters and be easy to use. Questions address the required base temperature, height restrictions, and usability considerations. No other details on products, response dates, or terms are provided in this questions and answers document.

Questions and Answers

1. Ref. point D of the requirements for line item 0001, relating to the base temperature: Is a base temperature of 0.9K required during single-shot or continuous operation?

Answers: This is required before single-shot.

2. Ref. points G iii and G iv, relating to system height and ease of use: In order to achieve a maximum height of <1.5m we would supply the system without a support frame. This means a crane will be needed each time the sample is to be changed. Is this acceptable? Or would an increased maximum height be preferred in order to allow sample change without the use of a crane?

Answers: The use of a crane is acceptable.

3. Is there a maximum acceptable mechanical noise?

Answers: Please see the updated specifications document where this was removed.

4. Was there an error in the base temperature that was listed as milliWatt (mW) and should have been microWatt (uW).

Answers: An error was made in the requirements and should have been listed as microWatt (uW). This correction has been made on the updated Requirements Document.

5. The requirements for "low noise (both mechanical and electrical) for doing very sensitive electrical measurements" are not defined in the solicitation. Can you define?

Answers: This statement was considered confusing and was removed from the updated Requirements Document.
