- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation #4200589415-AWT, for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Offerors are required to use the On-Line RFQ system to submit their quote. The On-line RFQ system is linked above or it may be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=. The information required by FAR Subpart 12.6 is included in the on-line RFQ. NASA/ARC has a requirement to purchase one (1) CW laser for Rayleigh scattering experiment: We are setting up a molecular Rayleigh scattering experiment in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory to measure fluctuations in density, velocity and temperature in high speed airflows. The current capabilities for such measurements are very limited, and for some applications, non-existent. The Rayleigh scattered light from the gas molecules will be spectrally analyzed to determine Doppler shift and thermal broadening which provide a measure of velocity and temperature. The central element for this setup is a single line width, stabilized, continuous-wave, laser. Since the Doppler shift is expected to be between 30MHz to 100MHz, the linewidth shall be <5MHz. Other requirements: Power: 6W CW, TEM00 Power Stability: +- 1% Wavelength: 532nm Polarization: 100:1 Linewidth: 5MHz rms (true single longitudinal mode) Noise: 0.02% rms Maximum beam diameter: 2.5mm Beam Divergence: <0.5 mrad Water Riser Chiller (for maintaining a stable laser head temperature during prolonged operation) Laser Cost: ________________ Shipping Cost: _____________ Total Cost: ________________ Six (6)Week Delivery Period: Y/N Delivery to NASA Ames Research Center is required within 6 weeks from date of award. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. This is a full and open RFQ. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516. Offerors must list this NAICS code in their company's SAM registration to be considered for award. All responsible sources may submit an offer. Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit a quotation. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (by e-mail only) no later than 3:00 PM (PST) on 7 June 2016. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any). Proposals are due no later than 1:00pm (PST) on 17 June 2016, to the Contract Specialist, wendy.l.takeguchi@nasa.gov, and shall include a firm fixed price for Laser, Shipping Cost and delivery date if different than 6 weeks, warranty duration (if applicable), a taxpayer identification number (TIN), identification of any special commercial terms, and shall be signed by an authorized company representative. Offerors must include completed copies of the provision at 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certification-Commercial Items with their offer.
