66 -- PAN/TILT UNITS SOL NT910-700117DT POC Doris Turner, Purchasing Agent, (303) 497-3872 or FAX (303) 497-3163 E-MAIL: NOAA; MASC Acquisition Management, Doris.P.Turner@noaa.gov. The National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA) is seeking to purchase twelve (12) pan/tilt units, 12 rack mountable controllers and 12 built-in heaters (if necessary) for cold temperature operation in accordance with the following specifications. Maximum operating voltage shall be 24 VDC. The pan/tilt shall have a flat surface that is a minimum of 6 inches by 6 inches for mounting the payload. This surface shall have a minimum of 0.5 inches of clearance on the bottom side and infinite clearance on the top side for all angles of rotation. This surface shall accommodate a minimum of 25 pounds of payload. The pan/tilt shall be designed for outdoor use. This includes an operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to +110 degrees F and appropriate sealing to prevent the ingression of rain or snow. The enclosure shall be metal. The pan/tilt shall not exceed dimensions of 18L x 18W x 18H inches and the weight shall not exceed 40 lbs. Mating connectors shall be provided for all connectors. The DC motors shall be protected from damage when the pan/tilt reaches its extremes of pan and tilt. The pan/tilt shall pan over a minimum of 380 degrees with a user adjustable speed range of 1 to 10 degrees/second. The pan/tilt surface shall tilt over a minimum of completely horizontal to completely vertical when the entire unit is mounted on a horizontal surface with a user adjustable speed range of 0.5 to 3 degrees/second producing a minimum torque of 60 foot-pounds. The pan/tilt shall be mountable to a flat horizontal surface. The pan/tilt shall have encoders to read the current angles of pan and tilt. The following specifications apply to the accompanying control unit. The control unit shall be standard 19 inch rack mountable. The front face of the control unit shall have controls for panning left and right, controls for tilting up and down, continuously variable speed controls for panning and tilting, a display showing the current pan angle to the nearest degree or better, a display showing the current tilt angle to the nearest degree or better, and a power switch. The control unit shall be powered from 115 VAC and shall provide up to 24 VDC to the pan/tilt unit. The control unit shall have a metal enclosure. Interested sources proposing to supply an equivalent system must submit a written qualification statement clearly establishing capability to meet the above requirements within 15 days from the date of this synopsis. The qualification statements will be used to determine the need for competitive bids. In the absence of other qualified sources, it is the intent of the Government to negotiate a sole source contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with Quickset International, 3650 Woodhead Drive, Northbrook, IL 60062 as this source is considered to be the only responsible source and no other items will satisfy agency requirements.
