- Description
- Contracting Office Address: AURA-Gemini Observatory, 670 N. A'ohoku Place, Hilo, Hawaii, 96720 Original Point of Contact: Andrew Flach, Gemini Contracts Manager, Phone (520) 749-1560, Fax (520) 203-0237, Email aflach@gemini.edu The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. ("AURA"), acting as the operator of the Gemini Observatory, is seeking a firm to fabricate components for a tip/tilt module for its secondary mirror from drawings provided by AURA. Although this contract is mostly for the machined items needed for the complete system, some assembly of subcomponents is required to assure that the assembled components are made correctly and the pieces fit together when assembled. The vendor will be responsible for maintaining the machining tolerances and surface finishes shown on the drawings. Machining operations can involve precision on the order of ± 0.005 mm. All electroplated coatings, anodizing, passivation, electropolishing, and other surface treatments specified on the drawings are also included. Invar, aluminum, stainless steel and other materials and fasteners must meet the quality and heat treatments specified on the drawings. A Request for Proposal (RFP) for this procurement will be issued by AURA in September 2008 to those that submit a request to receive the RFP by 16 September 2008. Requests to receive the RFP should be sent by email to Andrew Flach, Gemini Contracts Manager, at aflach@gemini.edu, and should reference N281650 in the subject line. In the body of the email please give the name of your organization and the contact information (name, email, street address, and telephone) for the person who will serve as your single point of contact for this procurement. Please do not send a proposal at this time, but wait to receive the RFP which will have a variety of additional requirements and specifications.
