Thermionic electron gun producing two round electron beams

Background
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is seeking to procure a thermionic electron gun that produces two round electron beams. This equipment is essential for their research and development activities, particularly in the field of advanced electron beam technologies. The goal of this contract is to obtain a specialized electron gun that meets specific technical requirements outlined by NRL.

Work Details
The contract requires the delivery of a thermionic electron gun capable of producing two round electron beams, each with a current of 1.0 A at a voltage of 20 kV. The design must accommodate transportation by an external solenoid magnet in a shielded-cathode configuration. The manufacturing process will involve custom electrode geometry and pole piece design as specified by NRL.

The quantities required are as follows:
- 4 units of 2-beam electron gun, 20 kV, 1.0 Amp per beam, custom assembly drawing
- 1 unit for Non-Recurring Engineering charge.

Pricing Arrangement: Firm Fixed Price.

Period of Performance
Delivery is expected in June 2027.

Place of Performance
Naval Research Laboratory, 4555 Overlook Ave SW, Washington DC 20375-5328, United States.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must comply with the Small Business Set Aside - Total (SBA) status. Additionally, bidders are required to provide DoD unique identification or an equivalent recognized identification for the products delivered.
