Description
NIST seeks information on commercial vendors that are capable of providing a sub-centimeter, realtime global positioning system (GPS) for use in the NIST Materials and Construction Research Division. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and specifications are developed for GPS equipment that can meet NIST's minimum requirements, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order. NIST has a need for GPS equipment to be used in the field. The system should meet the following requirements: - two receivers that can be used as a base and or rover - two GNSS antennas - capable of tracking multiple satellite constellations - capable of static /fast static and Real-Time Kinematic observations - capable of automatically collecting RTK points at distance and time intervals for profile determination - minimum horizontal accuracy of 5 mm plus 0.5 ppm for static surveys - minimum vertical accuracy of 10 mm plus 1 ppm for static surveys - minimum horizontal accuracy of 10 mm plus 1 ppm for Real-Time Kinematic surveys - minimum vertical accuracy of 20 mm plus 1 ppm for Real-Time Kinematic surveys - minimum of 20 channels of satellite tracking capability - dual frequency with full-wavelength carrier on L1 & L2 - minimum of 10 MB of memory for data storage - processing software o pre-survey planning function o process GNSS data collected in static and kinematic modes o import, export, and process RINEX data o supports use of current and future NGS Geoid Models o perform least-squares adjustments o perform loop closures o produce NGS Bluebook B & G files o export custom ASCII files o include manuals and software CDs NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 334511, as those domestic sources having 500 employees or less. Please include your company?s size classification in any response to this notice. Companies that manufacture GPS systems are requested to email a detailed report describing their abilities to todd.hill@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The report should include achievable specifications and any other information relevant to your product or capabilities. Also, the following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1. Name of the company that manufactures the GPS equipment for which specifications are provided. 2. Name of company(ies) that are authorized to sell the GPS equipment, their addresses, and a point of contact for the company (name, phone number, fax number and email address). 3. Indication of number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for delivery of such systems. 4. Indication of whether each instrument for which specifications are sent to todd.hill@nist.gov are currently on one or more GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts and, if so, the GSA FSS contract number(s). 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research.
