USA (Gaithersburg, Maryland) – Field deployable X-Ray Diffraction System

(1) Vendor needs to provide field deployable x-ray diffraction system to the government authority located in Gaithersburg, MD.• Laboratory at agency develops science-based tools, standards, and performance prediction methods to enhance the resilience of buildings and infrastructure against extreme events like wind, fire, earthquakes, and blasts• The Structures Group is seeking an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) system that is portable and field deployable.• The XRD system and any applicable software should be specifically designed for stress measurements on engineering materials, such as steel, in laboratory and outdoor environments. - The Structures Group requires a system that can make measurements at a wide range of orientations relative to the object being measured.• Technical Specificationsa. The system shall be capable of measuring and computing axial (1-1), shear (1-2), and transverse (2-2) stress components in iron and steel materials.b. Able to export raw intensity vs. two-theta (or similar) peak profile data.c. Must be portable indoors and outdoors via protective pack-out boxes or similar.d. Must include means of securing to horizontal and vertical surfaces.e. Must include a form of enclosure or radiation shielding.f. Must include any necessary alignment fixtures / guides for proper system setup and measurement.g. Must include zero-stress and low/high-stress standards for calibration and alignment verification.h. Must include means for emergency stop of x-ray generation.i. Must include a visible hardware indicator showing when the x-ray tube is active or the shutter is open• All installation requirements are identified below:1. System is electrically wired (including plug termination) to be powered by an existing 120V receptacle.2. System is appropriately aligned, calibrated, and levelled for multiaxial stress measurement in iron and steel(2) The contract period will be for one year.(3) Total Small Business Set-Aside
