E-MAIL: Jean M. Boylan, Jean.M.Boylan@lerc.nasa.gov. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Line item #1. Blade Monitor: (1 each) Two-channel turbomachinery blade tip condition monitoring system for measuring blade tip clearances and arrival times for individual blades. The system must meet the following requirements: 1. Two separate and synchronized inputs for 2 eddy current sensors. 2. Capable of handling 120 rotating blades or fewer. 3. Maximum blade passing rate of 25000/second. 4. Clearance resolution of 0.0005 inches or better 5. Master clock with a timing resolution of 0.05 microseconds or better. 6. Minimum blade tip passing speed for full operation of 200 feet/second. 7. Capable of acquiring a maximum of 12000 data records per acquisition cycle. 8. 9600 baud RS-232 serial communication port. 9. Input connector for a TTL opto-isolated "once-per-revolution" signal. 10. Compatible with Rotadata clearance measurement system 19-inch racks. 11. Internal analog-to digital converters for data capture that have at least 10 bits of vertical resolution and can operate at a maximum rate of 10 megahertz. 12. Output by way of its RS-232 communications port a number which is a function of blade tip clearance and blade tip speed for each blade. Along with this number, the system must also output a corresponding time stamp with respect to the once-per-revolution signal trigger. Line item #2: Sensors (4 each) Passive eddy current sensors for line 1. This turbomachinery blade tip condition monitoring system must use passive eddy current sensors. These sensors must meet the following requirements: 1. Passive (no oscillators/demodulators). 2. A diameter no grater than 0.375 inches and a length no greaterthan 1 inch. 3. A maximum temperature rating of 225 degrees c. 4. 40 foot long cables. 5. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-3.
