- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1), with APS Dynamics Incorporated of Carlsbad, CA, a requirement for the following items; 1) air bearing horizontal shaker consisting of 113 AB-LZ (air bearing, low impedance siers/parallel coil) and horizontal table with the following specifications; force rating 30 lb, 133 N, stroke rating 6.25 in, 158 mm, load table size 10 x 10 in, 254 x 254 mm, Load attachment points 25, total moving element weight 18.7 lb, 8.5 kg, maximum load weight 50 lb, 23 kg 2) air bearing horizontal shaker with lightweight armature and table with the following specifications; force rating 20 lb, 90 N, stroke rating 6 in, 152 mm, load table size 3.13 x 3.13 in, 79.5 x 79.5 mm, load attachment points 25, total moving element weight 2.4 lb, 1.1 kg, maximum load weight 6 lb, 2.7 kg. 3) One (1) dual mode power amplifier to drive both horizontal shakers 4) one (1) system cable to connect horizontal shakers and power amplifier. This equipment is required because NIST performs research and development shakers producing extremely accurate one-dimensional pure sinusoidal motion. The shaker and matched power amplifier systems are required to meet the program objectives and shall be an electro-dynamic shaker, have air bearings, and shall have a peak-to-peak displacement in excess of 13 cm. The motion produced on the integral mounting table must be purely sinusoidal with very low distortion and one dimensional with minimal cross-axis motion. The motion shall produce in excess of 1g acceleration at a sinusoidal frequency of 2 Hz requiring a stroke in excess of 13 cm. APS Dynamics Inc., is the only known company that can provide this essential equipment. *** Delivery is required to be F.O.B. Origin and shall be delivered by September 30, 2003. *** The Government anticipates the award of a fixed price purchase order. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations and no solicitation package will be issued. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
