("AURA"), on behalf of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Project Office, announces the opportunity for qualified vendors to propose on the fabrication of the LSST Telescope Mount Assembly (TMA). This opportunity will require the final design and fabrication of a complex telescope structure capable of supporting the LSST optical subassemblies and acquiring and tracking objects on the sky by providing motions about the azimuth and elevation axes. This announcement serves as early notification to identify and pre-qualify potential vendors and to provide preliminary design information prior to the official release of the request for proposals scheduled for release in mid-2013. Vendors interested in learning more about this opportunity should visit http://ls.st/d0t to view the LSST TMA Baseline Design document. Vendors interested in bidding on this procurement shall send a Letter of Interest including a brief statement of requisite fabrication and/or engineering design experience to Deborah Gronet, Contracts Officer via email at dgronet@aura-astronomy.org, subject line "LSST TMA Fabrication." Letters of Interest are due no later than May 1, 2013. Potential vendors will be provided credentials to access preliminary procurement information as well as design and requirements information to support the procurement process. Questions can be directed to Deborah Gronet via email or via telephone at 520.318.8366.
