About this file

This is a Statement of Work for the procurement of an FTIR Microscopy System by the Aerospace Fuels Laboratory at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The system must be a fully integrated Fourier Transform Infrared microscopy system capable of transmission, reflection, and attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy. Key technical specifications include: imaging particles 10 µm or smaller with grazing angle and ATR objective compatibility; FTIR spectrometer with 0.5 cm⁻¹ resolution or better; thermoelectrically cooled mercury cadmium telluride detector covering mid-IR range (4000 to 800 cm⁻¹) without requiring liquid nitrogen; sample accommodation up to 47 mm wide with sample holder for filter membranes; high-resolution 5 megapixel or better optical camera; nitrogen purge system attachments and plumbing; motorized x,y,z stage with coarse and fine controls; control computer with keyboard, mouse, monitor, and all necessary software licenses; libraries for identifying polymers, fibers, and common microscopic contaminants with automatic search capability; software capable of measuring particle dimensions to the nearest µm or better; equipment footprint of 30 inches deep by 60 inches long; and standard 120V single-phase 60 Hz electrical configuration. The vendor must directly employ qualified staff to install, provide training, and troubleshoot the system. Deliverables include on-site installation and validation to manufacturer specifications, on-site training for up to three people for at least one day, and one-year original equipment manufacturer warranty. The system must be delivered to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (DoDAAC FP2078) within 180 days of contract award. All shipping costs and insurance are the contractor's responsibility, with commercial vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck requiring inspection at the Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate prior to installation.

Statement of Work

For

FTIR Microscopy System

20260218

I. Background:

The Aerospace Fuels Laboratory at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station has a requirement for a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy system. This requirement supports the analysis of unknown particulate contamination and microscopic fiber identification.

II. Minimum Technical Requirements:

The following specification lists the minimum requirements for the FTIR microscopy system.

a. A fully integrated FTIR microscopy system capable of transmission, reflection, and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy

b. Capable of imaging particles 10 µm or smaller, and compatible with grazing angle and attenuated total reflection objectives

c. Include a FTIR spectrometer with a resolution of 0.5 cm-1 or better

d. Include a thermoelectrically cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector that does not require liquid nitrogen that covers the mid-IR range (at least 4000 to 800 cm-1)

e. Shall accommodate samples up to 47 mm wide and include a sample holder.

Typical samples will be 47 mm filter membranes.

f. Shall be able to acquire optical images in addition to infrared with a high resolution 5 megapixel or better camera.

g. Shall include attachments and plumbing necessary for a purge system. Nitrogen will be supplied as purge gas.

h. Shall include a motorized x,y,z stage with coarse and fine controls

i. Shall include a control computer, keyboard, mouse, and monitor with all necessary control software for the system and licenses.

j. The system shall include libraries for identifying polymers, fibers, and other common microscopic contaminants, and be capable of automatically searching to identify materials.

k. Software shall be capable of measuring particle dimensions to the nearest µm or better.

l. Microscope and spectrometer shall fit on a table 30 inches deep by 60 inches long. The control computer may sit on a separate table.

m. Shall include any accessories necessary for operation in transmission, reflection, and ATR modes.

n. Configured for standard 120V single phase, 60 Hz electricity

o. Due to the technical nature of the requested product, vendors shall demonstrate they directly employ staff qualified to install, provide training, and troubleshoot the gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer systems.

III. Training:

Shall include on-site training and familiarization with instrumentation and control software of at least 1 day for up to 3 people.

IV. Installation:

Shall include on-site installation and validation to meet manufacturer’s specifications at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

V. Delivery:

SHIP TO DoDAAC: FP2078

15251 Scrub Jay St

Building 54800

Cape Canaveral SFS, FL 32920

VI. Period of Performance:

To be completed no later than 180 days from contract award.

VII. Warranty:

System shall include a 1 year original equipment manufacturer warranty.

VIII. Delivery Procedures – Commercial Vehicles:

a. The company shall properly ship the system to the Aerospace Fuels Laboratory at

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. All shipping costs to include insurance will be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken.

b. All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Cape

Canaveral Space Force Station Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. This inspection will be conducted at 1068 FL-401, Cape

Canaveral, FL, 32920. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Step van/panel truck

2. Tractor/trailer, box and flatbed containing cargo

3. Tanker trucks

4. Box trucks

5. Tour buses

6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

c. The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

d. Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM). Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
