- Description
- The combined synopsis/solicitation shown below was posted on April 18, 2006, with Offers Due April 28, 2006. However, the Graphics Resolution and Native Pixel Resolution requirements have changed as reflected in Attachment 1. Also, NASA intends to implement direct projection and eliminate the folding mirror arrangement. Existing fins or dividers prevent the image from spilling over between adjacent flat screens. Setup and installation is now a requirement not an option as reflected in Attachment 2. Installation shall include 12 adjustable platforms for rigid tie-down of the projectors, and which are anchored to the floor. The projectors shall be controllable from the existing Crestron CNMSX-Pro. AS A RESULT OF THE ABOVE CHANGES, SUBMISSION DATES ARE REVISED AS FOLLOWS: All QUESTIONS SHALL BE SUBMITTED BY 2:30 PM Pacific Time MAY 31, 2006. OFFERS ARE DUE BY 12:00 PM Pacific Time JUNE 7, 2006. "This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued by NASA Ames Research Center as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Thirteen (13) Display Projectors to be used in the NASA Ames Research Center, FutureFlight Central (FFC) Facility. The new equipment will replace existing projectors currently in use. FutureFlight Central is a 360 degree high fidelity visual environment used to simulate the look and feel of an actual air traffic control tower or display other panoramic scene data. The FFC is easily reconfigurable as a test bed for any mission requiring an airport tower viewing-like capability. FFC is currently equipped with 12 large format screens, joined to form a contiguous projection display. Twelve (12) JVC DILA projectors project the image onto the rear of each screen panel via a folding mirror arrangement. Utilization of the mirrors is not a requirement for this procurement. NASA desires to eliminate the folding mirror arrangement if ?short throw? lens capability is available. See ?Throw Distance? specification in Attachment 1. Existing fins or dividers prevent the image from spilling over between adjacent screens. Offerors shall address and verify technical compliance with each of the Projector requirements and describe in detail and how their proposed equipment meets these listed requirements. The specific technical requirements for this RFQ are attached to this announcement as FFC Projector Requirements (Attach 1) and RFQ Pricing Template (Attach 2). The offeror is responsible for reviewing these documents before submitting a quotation for this procurement. ***This solicitation and its attachments can be accessed via the Internet at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=21 The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-08.
