The North American Industry Classification System Code is 333314 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory requires a 6 inch plane wave phase measuring interferometer, complete with phase modulated reference, control and processing electronics, control and processing software including metrology data analysis software, computer, TV monitor, and 640 x 480 pixel TV camera. The instrument is capable of achieving lambda/10000 2*sigma repeatability (lambda = 633nm), resolution better than lambda/8000 (double pass). The interferometer optical system will have an optical zoom range of at least 6:1. The interferometer is capable of acquiring pahse data in 140 ms or less (this includes acquiring all necessary phase step data to produce a final phase map). Finally, the system should weigh less than 100 lbs, and have its optical axis horizontal. Additionally, all transportation/shipping costs are required to be included in the quote. GSA items shall be noted as well as the GSA contract number. Delivery is 6-8 weeks ARO. FOB destination Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140. The following clauses and provisions are hereby incorporated either by reference or full text and are to remain in full force and effect in any resultant purchase order: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors ?
