The international research facility FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is currently under construction at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. This project requires numerous different types of detectors for beam diagnostics, including ionization chambers and secondary electron emission monitors. A key component of the design for these detector types is the current-to-frequency converter (IFC), which is used to measure current signals in the nano- and microampere range. The required systems are distributed across the various accelerator facilities on the FAIR campus. Prototype versions of the IFCs have been in use at GSI for some time. As part of this call for proposals, the IFC hardware is to be gradually further developed for the FAIR parameters and, in a second step, produced in series. Under this call for proposals, the IFC hardware is to be further developed in stages to meet the FAIR parameters and, in a second phase, put into mass production. The IFC devices including power supply crates are to be offered in accordance with the specifications.

#Bekanntmachungs-ID: CXS0YYEDYYS4RPK9# The procurement documents are made available electronically at www.dtvp.de and can be downloaded there after free registration. The contracting authority accepts bids exclusively in electronic form in text format. Please note that, in the case of electronic submission, the "text form" requirement under Section 126b of the German Civil Code (BGB) in public procurement law is only met if the bids are transmitted in encrypted form via the procurement platform (see the APPENDIX "Information on e-Procurement" and URL: http://www.dtvp.de/Center/). Submitting a bid via email is not sufficient. In the event of incorrect or incomplete information that violates the written form requirement under Section 126b of the German Civil Code (BGB) during electronic submission, or that fails to meet the above-mentioned formal requirements during submission in paper form, the bids will be excluded, unless the bidder is not at fault (Section 42(1)(1) of the German Public Procurement Ordinance (UVgO)). ________________________________________ Please note that in the event of any parallel applications for participation or bids from affiliated companies, the principles of confidential competition must be observed; proof must be provided-at the latest upon request by the contracting authority-that a strict separation in terms of personnel, organization, and structure was ensured during the preparation of the applications for participation and bid documents (see, e.g., Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf, Order of April 13, 2011, VII-Verg 4/11; VK Münster, Decision of April 22, 2015 - VK 1-12/15). _________________________________________ Note: If any of the required forms are not submitted in the proper form or by the deadline, this may result in the exclusion of the bid. Missing or incomplete documents may be requested by the contracting authority; however, bidders cannot rely on such a request being made. Failure to provide the required documentation by the deadline will result in disqualification. The documents to be submitted will be automatically announced in the designated sections. ________________________________________ In accordance with the general principles of equal treatment and transparency, the contracting authority has established the following award criteria: Price: 30 % Other: 70% (Delivery time 20%, SIS100 system: "Multiple type power supply" 10%, Precision Instruments: Development/Manufacturing 20%, Development IFC4, 20% IFC4: Device Properties: Offset, Calibration, Linearity 15%, IFC4: Device Characteristics: Temperature Stability 15%)

The current-to-frequency converters consist of the device electronics housed in a sturdy enclosure and the corresponding power supply. The scope of delivery is therefore as follows: · Current-to-frequency converters · Power supplies (single and multiple) · Packaging & shipping · Technical documentation for hardware and software · User manuals Exact quantities can be found in the specification
