About this file

This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the purchase of a TA Instruments TGA 5500 Package and associated installation and training services. The SOW provides details on the specific product requirements, including a sensitive vertical thermo-balance, infrared furnace, and gas purge system, as well as the installation and training services to be provided.

The related federal contract opportunity is a pre-solicitation notice for the TA Instruments TGA 5500 Package and Thermal and Rubotherm Installation & Training. The government intends to issue a sole source contract to TA Instruments under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) due to the equipment's compatibility with existing NASA instruments. The contract will be awarded under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 procedures for commercial items and services. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications by 9/11/2024 for the government's consideration of a competitive procurement. The place of performance will be at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

TA Instruments TGA 5500 Package

Details: Discovery TGA 5500: A premium performance research grade TGA featuring a sensitive vertical thermo-balance with an auto-switching dual range microbalance (0-200 mg, and 0-1000 mg sample weight range). Also included is a responsive infrared furnace, and a horizontal gas purge system that combine to produce unmatched baseline flatness and sensitivity over the temperature range from ambient to 1200°C. The Discovery TGA5500 offers linear heating rates to 500°C/min and ballistic heating rates to >1,600°C/min. Included standard is the new innovative “app-style” touch screen with One-Touch-Away functionality.

Other features include patented Hi-Res™ TGA & Modulated TGA™, a 25-position auto-sampler with a contamination-free sealed pan punching system, and an integrated electromagnet for automated Curie-Point temperature calibration, and a DTA signal that can also be used for temperature calibration. The Discovery TGA includes the new Gas Delivery Manifold (GDM) for automated and precise control and switching of two purge gases. It also includes TRIOS software for complete instrument control and data analysis and management. TRIOS provides a new and unique user interface for programming experiments, analyzing data, and managing instrument history, including intuitive spreadsheet-style views simplifying autosampler control and sequence programming. An accessory kit is provided which contains sample pans, calibration and test materials, plus tools. The Discovery TGA’s are the only instruments in the industry to include a 5-year warranty on furnaces.
