The cryostat must be closed cycle with no liquid cryogens required and must have a base temperature below 4 K. The cryostat must have a large sample space with at least a 250 mm diameter and 225 mm height for the sample space on the lowest temperature stage and must use non-magnetic materials in the sample space. The system will be used to characterize devices and circuits made for our pi- ground state Josephson junction research and for testing electrical performance of superconducting digital logic circuits that will be imaged in our scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope. The cryostat must meet base temperature specifications, time to cool down specifications, and non-magnetic materials specifications and to ensure our ability to rapidly test new device and circuit designs and materials. The Contractor shall provide a system that meets all technical specifications identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of “gray market” components are not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.
