- Description
- Vibration Secondary Calibration Standard This is a request for information (RFI) / SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. This request is not a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. The purpose of this request for information is in support of market research being conducted by the Air Force Metrology Calibration Program (AFMETCAL) to identify potential sources and gather information on current capabilities within the market. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and is NOT to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited hereunder. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party's expense. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked PROPRIETARY will be handled accordingly. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations. Proprietary information or trade secrets should be clearly identified. AFMETCAL is considering a purchase of a Vibration Calibration system. The system will automatically calibrate accelerometers and velocity pickups by comparison calibration in accordance to ISO 16063-21. The system shall generate calibration reports, and have a comprehensive DUT database meeting ISO 17025. The system shall generate tabular and graphical calibration results with flexible scaling. The system shall have calibration accuracies of 5-50 Hz: +/- 2.75%; > 50 Hz-2000 Hz: +/- 2%; >2 kHz-8 kHz: +/- 2.75%; > 8 kHz-10kHz: +/- 3.25%; when combined with NIST Standard uncertainties. The standard shall calibrate as a minimum the following transducer types: charge, IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric), piezoresistive, and voltage. The calibration system shall include swept and single sine excitation. The following components of the current Base Reference Standard AF75E and 9610 vibration calibration systems shall remain as part of the new calibration system: Bruel and Kjaer P/N 2712WH2326 Power Amplifier, Bruel and Kjaer P/N 4808WH2651 Vibration Exciter, Bruel and Kjaer P/N 4809WH2327 Vibration Exciter and Bruel and Kjaer P/N WA0519 exciter mounting adapter set. Required new components will be a new controller (laptop), external signal conditioners including DAQ, working standard and Base Reference Standard accelerometers. Also the calibration system shall be made so that the current exciter and power amplifier can be replaced with an air bearing shaker and power amplifier in conformance with ISO 16063-21 at a time in the future. The total estimated quantity is 65 units. Surplus or used material is not acceptable for this item. Offerors responding to this sources sought market research notice must: (1) state whether they are a small or large business, and indicate if the company is a small disadvantaged or woman-owned business, veteran owned, 8(a) firm, or a historically black college or university or minority institution (HBCU/MI), or a historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business (2) advise if your product is a commercial item and how long you can hold pricing if quotes are requested (3) advise if you have the item on a GSA schedule or other Government contract include front page of schedule and the page showing the part is on award (4) provide information concerning the technical capabilities of the product you are interested in offering, including commercial literature/brochures and warranty. Describe any awards you have been involved in that are the same as or similar to what is described in this RFI. Include any other pertinent information which would enable the government to assess your firm's capabilities (5) advise if you accept the Government purchase card (6) Provide Point of Contact include phone number and email address (7) provide assigned Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code (8) Advise how much time you would need to submit a technical proposal if a solicitation is issued (9) provide an estimated price for one each, an estimated price for the total quantity and provide any price quantity discounts based on the total estimated quantity (10) include how many units you could deliver every 30 days. Submit all responses to the listed point of contact or to MLK@afmetcal.af.mil. If an email response is not possible, submit by FAX to 740-788-5157 or mail to 813 Irving-wick Dr W., Building 2, Heath OH 43056-1199. Reference 11M-220A-VI in all correspondence. Responses are due by 12 April 2010. Point of Contact - Allen Kurella, Contract Specialist, Phone 740-788-5052 Email: allen.kurella@afmetcal.af.mil.
