Cryogen Free Superconducting Magnet System

The state of California is seeking to procure a cryogen-free superconducting magnet system with a minimum field strength of 12 tesla and three specialized sample measurement probes capable of operating in different temperature and vacuum conditions. The system must be delivered and installed, and the vendor will be responsible for providing on-site training. The procurement is open from January 13, 2016 to February 9, 2016, and interested parties must submit their proposals by the due date. Evaluation criteria include the technical specifications of the system, the qualifications and experience of the vendor, and the overall cost-effectiveness of the proposed solution.

This contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor have they specified any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the state has not disclosed an exact award value or budget range, the complexity and technical requirements of the requested system suggest a significant contract value.
