Description
The Air Force Metrology & Calibration (AFMETCAL) program is seeking sources to upgrade a primary vacuum standard (GA‑VGMS‑33528). The effort involves supplying specific hardware components, delivering a software‑upgrade package that corrects existing bugs and adds new calibration capabilities, and performing on‑site installation, validation, and operator training at the Air Force Photonics Laboratory. The work must retain or exceed current system performance and includes a one‑year warranty for all modifications.
• Provide listed hardware items (power supply, rupture disc, ion‑gauge controller, cables, rack panel, etc.).
• Deliver a software upgrade that resolves coefficient selection, pump‑down failures, adds full‑scale exercise routine, and supports new ion‑gauge controller on Windows 10/11 LTSC.
• Perform on‑site installation, system verification, and training; testing must be NIST‑traceable.
• Submit a capability statement with company data, past performance, pricing, and compliance information; no funds are available for this market research.
