About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy seeks one Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) System with proposals due September 16, 2026 and questions due September 14, 2026. This is an unrestricted full and open competition with no set-aside.
Place of performance is Air Force Academy, Colorado. The system must be a fully functional, automated multipurpose diffractometer with a copper anode X-ray tube (approximately 2.2 kW), high-voltage generator system rated at least 3.0 kW continuously, vertical Theta/Theta goniometer with 0.0001-degree step resolution and 250 degrees/minute slewing speed, automated incident beam optics supporting Parallel Beam and Bragg-Brentano configurations, hybrid pixel array multi-dimensional detector (0D/1D/2D capable) with approximately 100 micrometer pixel size and dual energy discriminators, motorized sample stages supporting advanced modular configurations, and comprehensive software integrating instrument control, data collection, and analysis with Total X-Ray Scattering capabilities. The system must support non-ambient experiments including liquid nitrogen cooling, XRD-DSC coupling, WAXS, SAXS, USAXS, and micro-area measurements.
NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing); PSC is 6630 (Chemical Analysis Instruments). Small business size standard is 1,000 employees. Submission requirements include firm-fixed-price quote inclusive of delivery, installation, and on-site training; technical literature demonstrating compliance; past performance summaries from the last three years; company information including CAGE Code and SAM UEI; and Trade Agreements Act certification. Quotes must remain valid until September 30, 2026. Evaluation uses best value/trade-off methodology weighing technical acceptability, past performance, and price. Funds are not presently available; the Government reserves the right to cancel without obligation. The amended solicitation FA700026Q0068_A1 was posted September 10, 2026, superseding the August 17 version.
