IFB Chemical Vapor Deposition System & Etching System

The Texas A&M University system is seeking bids to purchase two high‑technology laboratory instruments: a plasma‑enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) system and a Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) system. The solicitation allows for equivalent equipment provided full specifications, warranty, and compliance certifications are supplied. Shipping must be FOB Destination (domestic) or DDP (international) to College Station, TX, with all duties and tariffs included in the price. The award will be based on best‑value, considering price, technical merit, vendor capability, and support. Key specifications include multiple gas lines, RF generators, temperature‑controlled substrates, and integrated control software; a minimum 12‑month warranty is required. • Acquire one plasma‑enhanced CVD system (Plasma‑Pod Plus) with 5–6 gas lines, 300 W RF generator, and 12 month warranty. • Acquire one reactive‑ion etching system (Plasma‑Pod Plus RIE) with 4–6 gas lines, turbo pump, and 12 month warranty. • Provide detailed specifications for any equivalent models, include shipping costs, HTS codes, and confirm compliance with Executive Order GA‑48 and HB 127 certifications.
