This is a purchase request to procure installation sets that will be used to install RF and DC cables for the BlueFors dilution refrigerator at Battery Ashburn. These cables are necessary to perform cryogenic experiments on the dilution refrigerator. A dilution refrigerator is a piece of equipment that provides temperatures on the order of -460.F. Achieving this temperature requires a high degree of components matching. Substitution of third party parts would present an unacceptable degree of risk of damage to the system and impede Navy mission requirements. This notice of intent is NOT a request for quote.
