This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with format in Subparts 12.6 and 13.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation to be issued, proposals are being requested from this announcement, a written solicitation will not be issued. The Request for Quote number is N00244-97-Q-8657. This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 45. This solicitation is issued on an a restricted basis for the following item: (1) each Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (to be referred as PCMM). The equipment will be used to measure bondform tooling, aircraft fixtures, components and related parts. The equipment must meet or exceed the following specifications. 1. The equipment shall be a manufacturers current production model which has been designed, engineered and sold or is being offered for sale through advertisementsor manufacturers published catalogs or brochures. Products such as prototype systems, preproduction models, or an experimental unit do not qualify as meeting this requirement for a commercially available, off-the-shelf product that may be slightly modified to meet the Governments specifications. 2. System Description: 2.1 The requirements of the PCMM are as follows: a. An instrumented seven-degree of freedom articulating arm with rotary transducers at each joint to provide complete point position and body orientation data with two copies of software for analysis, manipulation and interpretation, inspection and reverse engineering. b. Arm assembly including mounting base, but not including a tripod or stand, shall not weigh more than (40) pounds. c. The PCMM shall have a minimum dimensional measuring envelope of 12 feet spherical. d. The system composite accuracy shall be determined in accordance with ANSI B89 ball bar and step gauge methods. e. The PCMM shall have a two-sigma (95 percent) bandwidth single-point accuracy which is within 0.007 inch over the entire measuring range. f. Arm joints shall consist of precision bearings for smooth rotational movement. g. The PCMM shall have automatic compensation for temperature and for probe tip size variations. h. The system shall operate on 120VAC, 60Hz, 15A electrical power supply, with no hydraulics or pneumatics. i. The system must be easily transported by a single individual without the need for additional rigging equipment while enclosed in its protective transportable carrying case or it must be contained within a portable wheeled cabinet. j. The system must be capable of measuring complex machined aircraft parts, aircraft surfaces and structures and composite bond-form tooling in three dimensional point-to-point and surface scan modes with display units of measurement of 0.0005 inch or smaller. k. The system must allow selection of measurement features and operations through movement of the probe without having to use thekeyboard. l. The system must be able to guide the operator to move the probe to specific points by providing aural feedback. m. The system must allow measurement to be compared directly to existing or historical reference data. n. The system must show graphic display of the part being measured or points which have already been measured while measuring additional points. o. A Notebook computer system is required for use with the PCMM, minimum requirements are: 90Mhz Pentium with 32MB RAM, 500 Mb hard drive, 12.1" color monitor, software: Windows NT (preferred ) or Windows 95 operating systems. p. The system must be capable of measuring the following characteristics: 1. Feature measurement-circles, cylinders, planes, spheres, cones ellipses, arcs. 2. Form deviations-flatness, straightness, roundness, concentricity, sphericity, cylindrical. 3. Alignments-midpoint, perpendicular intersect, rotation, 3-plane, feature, key-in. 4. Distance point-to-point, point to line, point to plane, line to line,plane to plane. 5. Angle-apex, line to plane, line to line, plane to plane. 6. Circle construction best fit, plane intersect from cone, move ILK, move offset, enter values. 7. Line construction best fit, project to plane, parallel bisector, 2-plane intersect, enter values. 8. Surface measurement-2-D and 3-D freehand scan stream with specified resolution, chordal scan, timed scan with a minimum of (20) measurements per second, inspection point, multiple lock planes at specified increments (parallel and radial). 9. Surface construction-3-D surface generation from measured points or lines through measured points. Ability to compare generated surface with additional measured points or with previously generated surfaces. 2.2 The following accessories are to be included with the system: a. Probes: (1) 15mm or 1.2 inch ball probe (1) 10mm or 3/8 inch ball probe (1) 6mm or 1/4 inch ball probe (1) 3mm or 1/8 inch ball probe (1) point probe Probe extensions (1) each, for offset, right-angle and straight measurements. b. Mounting plates for direct attachment to measurement stands or surfaces having an external 3-1/2 inch, 8-pitch Unified National thread. Also a magnetic mounting base is required. 2.3 Hardware and software shall be warranted for a minimum of (3) years and include annual PCMM recertification and all software updates. 2.4 The contractor shall provide a minimum of two days of training in use of the hardware and software for three individuals to be selected by the Government. 2.5 The contractor shall provide all manuals and documentation associated with the repair, maintenance, and operation of the PCMM. All such manuals and documentation are to be in English. Delivery of this material will be to, Receiving Officer, Naval Aviation Depot, bldg. 94, attn: NADEP/FISC Receiving, San Diego, CA 92135-7058. Acceptance will be at Destination. Prospective offerors should provide the following information: Model/part no., all current specification data, current pricing, delivery time, payment terms, cage code, Duns/Bradstreet number and taxpayers identification number.
