About this file
This is a Statement of Work for the repair of a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) – specifically an FEI Tecnai 12, Serial Number D328 – located at the USDA-ARS Western Regional Research Center in Albany, California, Room 0105. The work addresses multiple identified issues with the microscope, including a blown LaB6 filament, startup problems requiring board reseating, unreliable vacuum gauge readings, difficult access to the rear of the equipment due to water rack positioning, and missing protective covers.
The contractor must complete specific repair and replacement tasks including providing and installing a new CCD DAB board, LaB6 filament, and 5v power supply; diagnosing and resolving startup issues; inspecting and servicing the Pirani vacuum gauge; repositioning the water rack for improved accessibility; reattaching rear covers; and verifying computer-to-TEM communication. Preventative maintenance is required, encompassing oil changes in the diffusion and rotary pumps, column cleaning, gauge functionality verification, electron beam and column alignment, aperture cleaning and alignment, camera function verification, and resolution testing. The contractor must also provide 30 days of phone consultation following completion to ensure proper operation. The period of performance is 120 days total: 90 days to complete all work following award acceptance, followed by 30 days of post-completion phone support. The service location contact information will be provided at award.
