The Army Contracting Command - Picatinny, Watervliet Arsenal, NY intends to solicit, negotiate and award a sole source effort with Sheffield Hallam University Enterprises LTD City Campus, Sheffield, S1 1WB, United Kingdom. This acquisition is being conducted using simplified acquisition procedures; however, responsible offerors may submit a capability statement, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Government. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541712 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The Government has a need to purchase Innovative HIPIMS (high power impulse magnetron sputtering) technology based on ionized PVD physics. HIPIMS produces ion fluxes with high concentrations of metal target ion, which can be used to sputter-remove contamination from the surface and implant metal ions in the substrate, promoting strong bonding of the coatings to the substrate. This proposed contract action requires Sheffield Hallam University to apply HIPIMS etching and deposition technology so that substantial duplication costs are not incurred by the Government. The point of contact for this requirement is Giuseppe Tropiano, AMSCC-CCJM-JA, Bldg. 40, Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet NY 12189-4000. Email: [email protected].
