Combined Stereo Micro Particle Image Velocimetry System and Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence System

The University of Central Florida (UCF), through its Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research (CATER), is seeking to procure a Combined Stereo Micro Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) System and Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence System (PLIF) to analyze velocity, species, and temperature measurements in supercritical CO2 (sCO2) within a microchannel. The intended applications for this equipment include defense, aerospace, power generation, transportation, and fundamental science research. The contract opportunity is posted on behalf of Orange County and the City of Orlando, Florida. The bid submission deadline is July 7, 2022, and delivery of the equipment must be made within 12 weeks of the order receipt. A minimum 24-month warranty is required for the laser and cameras. Respondents may submit bids for either an upgrade to an existing Zeiss microscope or a new stereo microscope, and UCF will determine the option to select.

The procurement does not mention any small business or minority set-aside designations. No incumbent contractor information is provided, and the project will be funded by UCF. The required specifications, including performance, warranty, and delivery parameters, are detailed in the bid documents. The contract will be awarded on an "All or None Per Lot" basis, and UCF reserves the right to increase or decrease the total quantities as necessary. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the available information.
