Product and the parts must be backward and forward compatible with Newport translation stages and Coherent BRF tuning systems using ESP 300 Controller, MM 300 Controller, 8 Channel Actuator Controller, 850G Actuator and LIA-HS Actuator. The Newport translation stages are platforms enabling linear translation in one dimension the platforms are 1 inch square or 2 inch square, with load capacities of several pounds they are typically side driven, crossed-roller stages equipped with an input split ring system for actuator attachment. The actuators can be manual or motorized for our application, we are requiring motorized actuators - that we can also turn by hand this part is critical. We have found it difficult to find these types of motorized actuators for an example translation stage product, see newport corporation's 462-x-sd stage. BRF tuners are integral components of dye laser systems (see attached). they are typically mounted in a special manual actuator-driven rotation stage.We have Coherent, Inc. dye lasers. We want to be able to replace the manual actuator in the BRF tuner in these systems with a motorized actuator in these systems. Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and be completed in accordance with the Contractor’s commercial schedule. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 1:00 p.m. (EST) on January 5, 2009. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to janet.lamb@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition 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 in the future.
