Cryogen-Free MagnetoTransport Probe Station (CRX-VF)

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc., to provide one cryogen-free magnetotransport probe station to support research at the Army Research Laboratory and Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate Power Components Branch. The probe station must meet technical requirements including a magnetic field over 2.5 Tesla at base temperature, temperature measurement from 10 to 400 Kelvin, a load-lock assembly for rapid sample exchange within one hour, at least six micromanipulated probe arms, a sample space over two square centimeters, and vibration below one micron at the sample. While sole-sourced from Lake Shore Cryotronics, other sources may submit proposals by November 26 for consideration.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The salient characteristics document attached to the notice outlines the technical requirements for the cryogen-free magnetotransport probe station. Lake Shore Cryotronics is identified as the potential incumbent. No budget range or value is specified, but the government intends to procure one unit of the specified probe station through this solicitation.
