PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

FOR

Upgrade AFPSL QUANTIZED HALL RESISTANCE (QHR) STANDARD

MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

1.0 SCOPE: This purchase description identifies performance requirements for Upgrade to the QHR Standard Measurement System in the U.S. Air Force Primary Standards Laboratory (AFPSL) as an absolute measurement reference for resistance. It shall be a high performance system such that it may be used to measure very low resistances to very high resistances and make comparisons to an dual Sample Probe for Gallium QHR Sample (NRCC) and Graphene QHR Sample (NIST). This system shall be capable of measuring a variety of resistive type devices in four terminal modes. This system shall have the ability to perform automatic data acquisition, mathematical and graphical data analysis, data display of results, and print data results and data storage of results. This system shall improve and expand the U.S. Air Forces capability to measure the described parameters.

2.0 COMPONENT: Listed in this purchase description are the Air Force minimum functional requirements which are to be satisfied.

Proposals offering an item against the requirements of this purchase description will be evaluated for acceptability. Approved contractor proposals shall be included in the terms of the contract.

3.0 DEFINITION: This measurement system shall have the ability to perform Turn-Key measurements of resistance devices at any point within the measurement range of 100 milli-ohm to 13 kilo-ohm. Turn-Key measurements represent the ability of the system, after configuration setup, to make a non-stop resistance measurement or measurement sequence of resistors at a single value without the need for manual intervention or additional laboratory equipment. This process will result in a Turn-Key measurement result. A Turn-Key measurement result will be displayed on a Flat-Panel type monitoring device and will be storable and transferable to standard internal memory/storage devices. All equipment necessary to make this a Turn-Key system must be provided by the contractor.

A resistance device will be defined as any electronic device or instrument that exhibits electrical resistance when a Direct Current is applied to it. This would include, but is not limited to, Standard Resistors. These items shall be supportable with this QHR Standard Measurement System without limitation due to lack of capability of the QHR Standard Measurement System.
