- Description
- RFQ NB683010-14-04446 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), located in Gaithersburg, MD has a requirement for a high-accuracy displacement measuring interferometer that can simultaneously measure displacement, pitch, and yaw of a moving target. THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A SEPARATE WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THE SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF FAR 13. This solicitation is a request for quotation. The solicitation document incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-76. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516- Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. This is an unrestricted full and open competition. 1352.215-72 INQUIRIES (APR 2010) Offerors must submit all questions concerning this solicitation in writing to eric.bubar@nist.gov. Questions should be received no later than 10 calendar days after the issuance date of this solicitation. Any responses to questions will be made in writing, without identification of the questioner, and will be included in an amendment to the solicitation. Even if provided in other form, only the question responses included in the amendment to the solicitation will govern performance of the contract. The backup point of contact is Don Graham at don.graham@nist.gov. (End of Provision) BACKGROUND The mission of the dimensional metrology group at NIST is ultra-precise length measurements, which require precise knowledge of the refractive index of air when laser interferometry is used for measurement. NIST is building a device that will serve as the ultimate reference of refractive index. This requirement relates to ancillary metrology (angle and displacement) that is needed in the device. NIST plans to build devices that involve motion of variable length Fabry Perot cavity mirrors. The motion requires careful pre-measurement of a displacement and angle before switching over to Fabry Perot mode. A displacement and angle interferometer is needed to provide this measurement. See attachment for further details.
