- Synopsis #: FA8601-18-R-0073 Notice Type: Special Notice Synopsis: The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Base Support Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of a Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner for the Air Force Institute of Technology located at Wright-Patterson AFB. The reason for lack of competition is that Nikon Metrology, Inc. CT scanner is the only system available that is able to meet all AF requirements, including size constraints. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii). This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516: Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and FSC code 6640: Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Business size standard for NAICS 334516 is 1,000 employees. The proposed source is Nikon Metrology, Inc. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract regardless of responses that may be received to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources or authorized distributors may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by Friday, 15 June 2018 by 8:00 am EST and meets all the following requirements: Minimum requirements: This CT system must be a turnkey system to provide complete computed tomography inspection of 3D manufactured metal and polymer objects. Entire System requirements from initial radiography to final post processing must be included. These items include the machine hardware and necessary support systems to final computer and software systems necessary to post process the CT images into voxelated 3D volumes. CT Machine: • Minimum of Microfocus 225 kV X-ray Tube o Minimum Power Rating of 450W o Minimum spot size of 3 um and detail recognition of < 2um o Dual Target System: Fixed Reflection Target and Rotating Reflection Target • Integrated X-Ray Controller • High Resolution X-Ray Detector o Minimum 400 mm x 400 mm with 2000 x 2000 pixels o Minimum 16-bit Grayscale Resolution o Minimum Frame Rate of 15 frames per second • Provide a 5 Axis Motorized and Controlled Manipulator o Handle a 50 kg sample o Tilt Axis +/- 30 Degrees o Rotate Axis 360 Degrees o Manipulator max travel of 300 mm in X, 350 mm in Y, and 750 mm in Z o Joystick control of each • Passive Vibration System to minimize ambient machine vibrations • Maximum Machine Size (W x D x H): of 2.5 m x 1.275 m x 2.175 m o Based upon installation space and room entry requirements • Minimum Sample Chamber Door size of (H x D) 0.6 m x 0.6 m • Integrated High voltage generator and control system • Integrated Vacuum System • Integrated Cooling system • Consumable Supplies for 1 year of typical operation (ie Additional Vacuum Filaments) • Self-Centering Chuck and Self-Centering Vice for Specimen holding • Full shielded enclosure with continuous fail-to-safe monitoring and Interlocks • Lead-lined cabinet fully complies to DIN 54113 radiation safety standards and CE regulation CT Computed Tomography Capability: • Live Imaging up to 30 frames per second • Automatic parallelization for systems with multiple CPU's and GPU's • Integrated CT geometry calculation • Cone-Beam reconstruction • Fan-Beam reconstruction • 3D real time visualization and analysis tools • Automated single pass computed tomography scanning technique utilizing spiral/helix acquisition and reconstruction with a digital flat-panel detector. This capability allows a CT scan of elongated objects that traditionally cannot fit into a single exposure. Visualization and Post Processing Workstation: • Minimum of 2x 27" 4K resolution Monitors • Minimum of 2x Processors with Multiple Cores • 2x High End Graphics Cards 8 GB RAM • Minimum of 128 GB of System RAM • Internal 8TB SSD Raid 10 configuration • Optical Drive • USB 3.0 • Latest Version of Volume Graphics Post Processing Software Warranty: Free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal and proper use in accordance with our instructions in the maintenance manual for a period of one year. Delivery and Installation Requirements: a. Shipment of the CT Machine system for material research directly to AFIT (FOB Destination) within 12 weeks. Delivery includes unloading, unboxing, and final rigging of equipment into the site location at the time of delivery. b. Vendor requirement as part of the award: Installation of the R&D system at AFIT within 1 week of the delivery of the system c. Provide On-Site training on Basic and Advanced system operation at AFIT for 2-4 operators within 1 week of the installation of the system Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: Nikon Metrology, Inc. provides the only device capable of satisfying all of the Government's requirements due to being the only system able to meet all technical and size requirements. Other vendors provided their CT machine capabilities during the market research phase, but none could meet all of the technical requirements and maximum size requirement. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220.
