- Description
- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing a precision shaker to test photonic accelerometers. The purpose of this notice is to identify organizations capable of providing the necessary items and meeting the minimum contractor qualifications. � DESCRIPTION/PURPOSE OF ITEM TO BE ACQUIRED: The Contractor shall provide the following: One (1) shaker One (1) amplifier and other electronics and accessories to run the shaker, including cables. One (1) internal reference accelerometer Signal conditioning electronics and other accessories to read the accelerometer, including cables Accessory kit for mounting accelerometers, including mounting studs, adapters, torque wrench Minimum technical specifications for the shaker Vertical operation Maximum payload of at least 1000 grams Frequency range of at least 5 Hz to 15 kHz for frequency response measurements. Able to supply an acceleration with a 150 gram load of at least 100 m/s2 over the frequency range of 30 Hz to 10 kHz continuously for 5 minutes. First resonance > 50 kHz Transverse motion less than 3% between 5 kHz and 15 kHz. Shaker Dimensions: requires less than 1 square foot table space and less than 6� height, shaker weight less than 20 kg A calibration certificate traceable to NIST for operation between 5Hz and 20 kHz with no load. Minimum technical specifications for the reference accelerometer Mounted internally to shaker Sensitivity >= 1 mV/(m/s2) Freq range (3dB) greater than 3 Hz to 30 kHz Resonant frequency greater than 50 kHz Deviation from linearity less than 1% This announcement is not a Request for Proposals or Quotes (RFP/RFQ) and does not commit the Government to award a contract now or in the future. The information contained in this notice is DRAFT only and as such, is subject to change prior to issuance of a solicitation.
