A -- ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN OF THERMAL PROCESSING SYSTEM AND REFLECTANCE FACILITY SOL 52SBNB7C1073 DUE 033197 POC Trena N. Bercaw, (301) 975-6324, Fax (301) 963-7732 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@mailserver3.nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for engineering services to assist in the design of the Rapid Thermal Processing System and Reflectance Facility. The tasks include participating in the design of components for the retroflectance facility, participating in the design of necessary hardware for the rapid thermal processing experiment, participating in the design of parts and components for the fluorescence project, participating in the design of optical/mechanical systems in support of radiation temperature research, and participating in the design of mechanisms for the measurement of bi-directional diffuse reflectance. The contractor shall have expertise in the design of intricate mechanical and electrical systems, as well as with optical and detector systems that are standards of quality. It is the intent of the government to only negotiate with the Reyer Corporation, of New Market, Maryland, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1) as the only responsible source able to meet the needs of the government. Reyer corporation has the unique and expert experience in mechanical and electrical design, for primary standards in radiometry. The Reyer Corporation has participated in, and is familiar with, the design and construction techniques for mechanical, electrical, and optical systems already in place at NIST. They possesses the knowledge necessary to interrelate any new system with the previously designed systems. The period of performance under this contract is from date of award through September 30, 1997. No solicitation package is available. See Numbered Notes 22, and 26. (0043)
