About this file
This document is a Statement of Requirements for a high-temperature tube furnace with a gas delivery system. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires the furnace to support their Materials Measurement Lab research in ceramic additive and advanced manufacturing. The furnace must meet specific technical requirements, including the ability to operate at temperatures up to 1600°C using an 80mm or 3-inch aluminum oxide tube. The contractor must provide the furnace, tube, and related accessories, as well as an operations manual, within 21 calendar days of award. NIST will test the furnace for compliance and provide feedback to the contractor.
This Statement of Requirements is associated with a combined synopsis/solicitation for a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order. The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 333994 - Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing. Quotes are due by 10:00 am ET on August 28, 2024, and the government intends to award to the responsible contractor with the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote.

STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS
High-Temperature Tube Furnace with Gas Delivery System
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Materials Measurement Science Division, Materials Structure, and Data Group requires a high-temperature tube furnace with a gas delivery system to advance our Materials Measurement
Lab (MML) focus area research in ceramic additive and advanced manufacturing. We require a tube furnace capable of operating at temperatures of at least 1600 oC so that we can process ceramic materials under controlled oxygen.
II. SPECIFICATION
The contractor shall deliver a high-temperature tube furnace with a gas delivery system. The equipment must meet the following minimum specifications:
1) The furnace must be a single-zone tube furnace with a horizontal orientation.
2) The furnace must be cable of operation up to at least 1600 oC.
3) The furnace must be sized for and supplied with an 80 mm or 3-inch outer diameter aluminum oxide tube.
4) The aluminum oxide tube supplied with the furnace must have a minimum Al2O3 purity of
99.7%.
5) The furnace must have a digital control touch screen installed on the furnace controller.
6) The furnace controller must be able to store at least 24 individual temperature programs with a minimum of 24 segments per program.
7) The furnace must operate using SiC heating elements.
8) It must be possible to connect the furnace to a PC in order to control the operation of the furnace using LabView software, and all relevant software relevant to controlling the furnace via PC must be supplied.
9) The furnace must operate on 3-phase 220 V.
10) The furnace must be supplied with gas-tight end caps attached to the furnace tube via quick-connect flanges.
11) The end caps must be designed to facilitate water cooling.
12) Both end caps must be able to connect to gas flow and have an additional KF25 flange mounted to each endcap (the KF25 flange is required by the users in order to mount additional oxygen sensors and process sensors or thermocouples to either side of the tube).
13) An operation manual must be supplied in either hardcopy or electronic format.
Warranty:
The Contractor shall provide, at minimum, a one-year warranty for the equipment. The warranty shall cover all parts, labor, and travel and commence upon government acceptance.
III. DELIVERY
Delivery shall take place during NIST normal business hours, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays, and shall be coordinated with the NIST Subject Matter Expert (SME). Delivery shall occur within 21 calendar days after the award of this requirement.
