The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Clemson University seeks to purcase a Thorlabs Ganemyde optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrument (GAN611C1).  This equipment is required for fast, non-destructive imaging of biological samples. The instrument will support a pending DARPA award focused on engineering beneficial bacterial biofilms for marine applications. OCT will enable fast, non-destructive measurement of biofilm morphology.  Beyond the four-year period of the award, the configuration is compatible with specifications required for transitioning to a broader spectrum of applications of relevance to other research in the Department of Bioengineering. Toward the immediate requirements: 1. The instrument offers several unique features that are required for our application. First, a rapid but adjustable rate is required, since we aim to image biofilms exposed to fast fluid flow rates, yet also require high sensitivity.  Second, the unique, configurable trigger input/output options are needed as well, since acquisition must be automated and integrated with other equipment. Third, the unique ability to integrate different objectives is required, as our overall system requires challenging integrations, which may change the optimal working distance and resolution. The resolution, wavelength, and working distance meet our application specifications as well, providing the ability to image samples in fluidic chambers and calculate roughness measures to accuracies within 10um, despite multiple refractive index changes. 2. The exact configuration was originally budgeted in our DARPA proposal, but required cuts during negotiations prevented its inclusion in the final budget. A DARPA team collaborator is purchasing the same unit, and comparisons across sites would be complicated by the use of different instruments.   3. A protocol and code is available for integrating Thorlabs OCT instruments on gantries for automated image acquisition over large areas, which our application requires. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Clemson University seeks to purchase a custom designed and built 3D printer for ceramic research projects - specifically a Robocasting printing system from Robocasting Enterprises, LLC. The custom Robocasting platforms are designed to be mechanically robust to minimize compliance and spring-back during movement and feedstock delivery. The extrusion delivery system is designed with stiff metal sleeves which hold syringes of feedstock. The feedstock is extruded with a direct-drive piston which provides positive displacement of feedstock regardless of the pressure required for extrusion. Furthermore, robust motors with gear reducers are used to drive the piston for high torque and ultra-precise delivery of feedstock pastes regardless of viscosity and fast or slow extrusion rates. The combination of these features facilitates straight-forward printing of hundreds of feedstocks regardless of material properties and minimal dead-space and wasted R&D materials. The system also comes with proprietary GoldWing Software designed specifically for the robocasting process with user-friendly adjustment of parameters that are specifically relevant to the robocasting process. For example: extrusion nozzle size, extrusion rates, platform speeds, accelerations, and decelerations, parameters for under-filling or over-filling regions, layer thickness, overlap or underlap of deposited beads in XY directions, etc. The project at the University requires a system that can accurately deposit a variety of non-optimized feedstocks with very different properties and textures and the Robocasting Enterprises LLC system is believed to be the only system that can meet these requirements. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.
