- Description
- MARKET SURVEY - Request for Information (RFI): The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Port Hueneme Division (PHD) is seeking information from interested parties for a Drop Shape Analyzer. This RFI is focused on identifying capabilities in the market place and obtaining related technical information for a Drop Analyzer to measure the contact angle, dynamic contact angle, and surface free energy for quality assurance. Drop Shape Analyzer shall have a manual, moveable sample stage capable of being manipulated in three spatial directions (i.e., x-y-z) and a dosing unit capable of accurately controlling drop volume and dosing dynamics. The envisioned work anticipated to be performed by a contractor as a result of a potential future solicitation is identified in the: Statement of Work (SOW) below: Overview : Drop shape analyzer to measure the contact angle and surface free energy for quality assurance. Detailed information : Drop shape analyzer to measure the contact angle and surface free energy for quality assurance. Will require manual x and y axis with manual lift table for z axis movement. Software and training necessary to place single droplet on to measurement table. A camera with a zoom lens and 780 X 580 px resolution with an LED for illumination. Software will also be capable of measuring the contact angle and surface free energy of solids. Measurement range of contact angle will be I-I80 degrees and surface tension will be from 0. 0 1 to 1000 mN/m. Resolution of measurements will be as follows: Contact angle - 0.1 degree, Surface tension- O.O1 mN/m. The video system should be compatible with IEEE1394b interface, a threshold of 60 fPs (objective 1000 JPs), capable of video sequencing, and automatic triggering of measurement functionality. The optics will have the following characteristics: 6.5x zoom, FOV 3.5-23mm diagonal, focus capable, and vario field illumination. Power should be II 0/220V. 50/60Hz. Interfaces with lab equipment will be RS232 and IEEEI394b. Requested Information: The Navy requests the following information from parties interested in responding to this RFI: •a. Company Name, Address, CAGE code •b. RFI Response Point of Contact name, telephone number, and email address •c. Information describing company capabilities, resources, experience, and product lines that demonstrate an ability to perform the work described •d. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate to perform the work described •e. Feedback and questions regarding the feasibility or challenges for performing the work described Information herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding upon the Government. Responses to the RFI are required to be received no later than 5:00PM Pacific Standard Time on June 23, 2015. Responses should be provided in formats compatible with Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows or Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf). Receipt of RFI responses will be acknowledged. RFI responses will not be returned. The mailing address for RFI responses is provided at the end of this announcement. Following the date of response submission, the Government may contact respondents to seek clarification of submitted information. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to the RFI nor will the Government compensate respondents for any cost incurred in developing information for, participating in meetings with, or engaging in discussions with the Government. Proprietary and Limited Distribution: It is incumbent upon parties providing responses to the RFI to identify all data contained within that is proprietary or has limited distribution requirements. All information marked as proprietary information will be safeguarded to prevent disclosures to non-governmental personnel and entities. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This RFI does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The U.S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Additionally, any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed and are NOT considered allowable direct charges to other contracts or tasking.
