- Description
- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on commercial vendors that are capable of providing a non-contact measurement system for out of plane motion of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The required system is capable of high bandwidth, sensitive and accurate measurement of out-of-plane, periodic, driven motion at one or more locations on the surface of the MEMS. The system will be used to quantify performance of custom, actuated, high frequency optical MEMS devices. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and specifications are developed for fast out-of-plane noncontact motion measurement system for MEMS that can meet NIST's minimum requirements, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted would be conducted as a small business set-aside. NIST has a need for a fast out-of-plane non-contact motion measurement system for MEMS that meets the following requirements: Detection bandwidth: at least 20 MHz Minimum frequency: at most 1 MHz Vertical noise: at most 50 pm/Hz^1/2 over the measurement bandwidth range Vertical linear dynamic range: at least 100 nm Lateral resolution: measurement at one or more locations of less than 1 um diameter Synchronization: input for an external synchronization trigger or output of a synchronization trigger or arbitrary drive waveform System: measurement setup, control electronics, computer (or computer interface) and data analysis software Physical interface: standalone or attaching to an existing probestation/microscope NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 334516, as those domestic sources having 500 employees or less. Please include your company's size classification in any response to this notice. Companies that manufacture such non-contact measurement systems for out of plane motion of MEMS are requested to email a detailed report describing their abilities to paula.wilkison@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The report should include achievable specifications and any other information relevant to your product or capabilities. Also, the following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1. Name of the company that manufactures the system components for which specifications are provided. 2. Name of company(s) that are authorized to sell the system components, their addresses, and a point of contact for the company (name, phone number, fax number and email address). 3. Indication of number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for delivery of such systems. 4. Indication of whether each instrument for which specifications are sent to paula.wilkison@nist.gov is currently on one or more GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts and, if so, the GSA FSS contract number(s). 5. Provide experience in the design and construction of non-contact measurement systems for out of plane motion of MEMS. 6. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research.
