- Description
- NASA/ARC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for a highly accurate 'Made in the USA' Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) to be used as a replacement for an existing outdated and non-operable COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE (CMM). Primary use will be to perform dimensional inspection of spaceflight hardware, wind tunnel models and complex 3D surface models. Machine size requirements; CMM Measuring Range minimum X=700mm, Y=1000mm, Z=580mm Note; there are specific size limitations in our inspection lab and limited access for installation routes. Due to low overhead clearance overall machine height cannot exceed 110.5. Overall height and width cannot exceed 84 x 59 due to limited building access and doorways. Probe tip and scanning requirements; Probe head and tips must be capable of Active Scanning. This process allows for constant contact on a profile surface in order to measure 3D surface geometry. Probe head must be able to articulate and probe at 2.5 degree increments. In addition probe head must have the ability to rotate +/- 180 degrees. The articulating probe allows scanning of features in all angular positions. Master reference sphere to be include for calibration. Computer and software requiremnts; Must include a dedicated computer and monitor with inspection software that can convert IGES files to SAT. Software to include software licenses and support for at least one year. A delivery requirement of 30 days or less is anticipated for any order issued. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Ames Research Center is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for CMM requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, or any category of small business*, number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers covering the past five years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact - address and phone number). Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in FAR 2.101. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. All responses shall be submitted to Mr. Khang Nguyen no later than Aug. 30, 2013. Please reference NNA1383248-CMM in any response.
