Statement of Work Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy Detector for a Scanning Electron Microscope

07 Mar 17

Wright-Patterson AFB is in need of a replacement Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) detector for a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The SEM/EDS shall be used in support of Air Force investigations to determine the elemental composition of unknown samples.

The EDS detector shall have the following salient characteristics:

1. Installs in and can interface with the current Zeiss EVO MA10 Scanning Electron Microscope, and will include all hardware and software necessary for operation.

2. Operate on standard 110V power without the need for additional infrastructure modification.

3. Be equipped with an electronically cooled (i.e., liquid nitrogen free) Silicon Drift Detector.

4. Capable of detecting light elements down to and including Beryllium (Be).

5. Provide an active area of at least 10 square millimeters.

6. Can obtain a minimum of 1 million counts per second input and 300,000 counts per second output.

7. Be provided with software that can provide standardless quantitative analysis with appropriate atomic number, absorption, and fluorescence (ZAF) corrections.

8. Instrument delivered within 90 days of contract award.

9. Familiarization training provided at the time of installation to include basic instrument operation as well as copies of appropriate manuals (physical or electronic).

Delivery Procedures Commercial Vehicles (FEB 2016)

All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Wright- Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Step van/panel truck

2. Tractor/trailer, box and flat bed 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

This inspection will be conducted at Gate 16A located off State Route 444.

The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

2. If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

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.
