- JETS: PBS-4100 Vibration Balance Analyzer Cal Kit Contracting Office Address Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, AFMETCAL, 813 Irving Wick Dr. W., Building 2, Heath, OH 43056-1199 Description 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. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined. 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. If, after reviewing this document, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company's capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.) Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. The Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program is considering a purchase of a JETS: PBS-4100 Vibration Balance Analyzer Cal Kit. A Calibration Kit is required to calibrate all of the various versions of the PBS-4100 Portable Vibration Balance Analyzers including all charge amplifiers made by MTI Instruments of Albany NY. The Kit must contain a precision signal source, and all of the necessary cables and adapters to connect this source to all of the different PBS-4100s and its charge amplifiers. Also included in this package is software that automates the calibration of the PBS-4100 with this signal source and also operates the calibration of the signal source itself. Lastly, this kit must also contain all accessories required to fully calibrate the source itself. The precision signal source must feature two independent signal output channels. It must provide voltage; AC (Sine, Square, Triangle, and Saw-tooth waveforms) from 0 to 9.999 Volts Pk, and from 0.1 to 100 KHz in 0.1 Hz increments and DC at +/-9.999 VDC. And also include Single and Double Ended Charge signals from 0 to 9999.9 pC PK to simulate accelerometer and other charge mode devices. Both signals at an accuracy of +/-0.05% or better. The signal source must also have the capability to generate speed signals, tachometer signals, multi-tooth gears and odd-pulsed signals. It must also be able to generate synchronized sweeps at certain frequencies and start/stop times. The precision source must have some type of memory to store and recall frequently used settings. The precision source must be able to not only produce standard signals to calibrate the PBS-4100 systems, but if found out of tolerance, the source will transfer calibration coefficients that aligns the system automatically. Lastly, this signal source must be good substitute for the Trig-Tek 346BADD3 that is currently being used in the AM99t2 Jet Engine Test Stand Calibration Van. The total estimated quantity is 63 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 including: company/ institute name, address, phone number and email address (7) provide assigned Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code (8) Verify if your company/institute is listed in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) (9) State if your company is domestically or foreign owned (if foreign owned, please indicate the country of ownership) (10) Advise how much time you would need to submit a technical proposal if a solicitation is issued (11) 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 (12) include how many units you could deliver every 30 days. Submit all responses to the listed point of contact. 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 12S-306A-VI in all correspondence. Responses are due by 5/5/2011. Point of Contact - Allen Kurella, Contract Specialist, Phone 740-788-5052 Email: allen.kurella@afmetcal.af.mil.
