STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

GA-VGMS-33528 Upgrade

1.0 SCOPE:

This Statement of Work defines the requirements for providing hardware, software development, and on-site engineering services to upgrade and enhance the existing vacuum system. The contractor shall provide the specified components, perform necessary software modifications, and validate the system's functionality as detailed herein.

2.0 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall provide the following hardware, software, and services

2.1. VGMS Power Supply Box (V-G-A-0005): One (1) unit designed to work with a VTI VGMS and feature a 10-channel multiplexor interface. Note: The 10-channel card is to be supplied by the customer. Main interface cable is not included.

2.2. Interface Cable for Multiplexor (E-C-EC-A-0005): Ten (10) units for connecting a GP 390411 to the multiplexor interface.

2.3. 15-25 PSIG Rupture Disc (M-P-PO-0135): One (1) UHV-compatible, all-stainless-steel rupture disc with a 1/4" Female VCR-Type Connection.

2.4. Inficon Ion Gauge Controller (V-G-IG-0016): One (1) Inficon VGC083x series controller. Note: Cables are not included.

2.5. Convection Gauge Cable (V-G-IG-A-0014): One (1) 10 ft. long cable for the Inficon VGC083x controller.

2.6. Power Supply for Inficon VGC083x (E-C-PS-0046): One (1) 24V, 221W AC/DC power supply with an included power cord.

2.7. Half-Width Rack Rail Controller Panel (E-E-IC-A-0052): One (1) panel for mounting the Inficon VGC083B controller.

2.8. Bakeable Ion Gauge Cable (V-G-IG-A-0016): One (1) 10 ft. long bakeable cable for the Inficon VGC083B controller.

3.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:

3.1. Continuity of performance: All normal performance characteristics of the GA-VGMS-33528 shall be maintained or exceeded after the upgrade is performed.

4.0 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

4.1. Continuity of functionality: All normal functionality of the GA-VGMS-33528 shall be maintained or exceeded after upgrade is performed.

5.0 CONTROLLER REQUIREMENTS:

5.1. Controller: Upgrade shall use existing controllers.

5.2. Operating System and Software: All software must run under Microsoft Windows 10 LTSC 64 bit operating system or Windows 11 LTSC, whichever is available.

6.0 SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE REQUIREMENTS:

6.1. Software Identification: If applicable, all software used in conjunction with instrument shall be identified by Name, Version, and Date; to be displayed upon startup or located in an “About” menu.

6.2. Software Warranty: The contractor shall warrant that the product meets this purchase description, is free from defects in design and operation, and will perform to stated specifications within this purchase description for the length of the warranty.

6.3. Software Work Requirements: The contractor shall perform a software upgrade package to correct existing functional issues and add the multi-channel workflows needed for the new hardware. This includes:

6.3.1. Correcting standards and coefficients selections to ensure proper equations are applied.

6.3.2. Implementing an "exercise to full scale" routine for CDG standards/DUTs.

6.3.3. Investigating and resolving intermittent pump-down failures.

6.3.4. Developing and integrating a multi-channel analog calibration workflow to support the new DMM/multiplexer solution, including channel selection, sequencing, data capture, and reporting.

6.3.5. Implementing all required software changes to support the new ion gauge controller and verify turbo status/communications.

7.0 OPERATOR’S MANUAL: The operator’s manual shall include appropriate details about standard system features and capabilities and shall also include updated information about any changes in system operation. If this upgrade does not change the system operation, no manual is required.

8.0 WORK REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall provide on-site services.

8.1. Installation of necessary hardware and software upgrade.

8.2. Validation and verification of the integrated system/multiplexor.

8.3. A training session for system operators.

9.0 ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY, AND OPERATIONAL HEALTH: A combination of the system manual, other documentation, and/or the system itself shall identify potential environment, safety and operational health hazards and how they are mitigated when the design itself cannot mitigate them. This will be accomplished through stating the hazard and accompanying mitigation through the use of safety devices, use of warnings, or use of special operational procedures to counter such hazards.

10.0 TESTING: The GA-VGMS-33528 will be inspected and accepted at the AFPSL. The item will be checked with test equipment and parameters equal to or better than those required assuring specified performance requirements are met. Test equipment used shall have first echelon certification directly traceable to the International System of Units through the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) or other approved equivalent international laboratory. Tests will be performed to assure the item meets or exceeds all of the requirements of this purchase description. Such testing does not relieve the contractor of performing all inspections and quality control checks at the point of fabrication as necessary to assure performance as specified.

11.0 WARRANTY & TECHNICAL SUPPORT: The contractor shall provide a one-year warranty covering hardware and technical support for the modifications and deliverables described in this SOW.
