Matthews, Contract Specialist, Phone (216) 433-2766, Fax (216) 433-2480, Email Ronald.L.Matthews@grc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/GRC/date.html#RFQ3-128361. E-MAIL: Ronald L. Matthews, Ronald.L.Matthews@grc.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). One (1) each, Electronic Holography System for Vibration and Stress Analysis and shall be in accordance with the following specifications. 1. The contractor shall deliver a complete system to implement electronic or televisio time-average holography of a vibrating structure and double-exposure electronic holography of a statically loaded structure. 2. The electronic-holography system shall NOT include lasers, but shall meet all specification when operated with a NASA-provided Coherent 90-5 argon-ion laser radiating single-frequency, single-spatial-mode power of at least 200 mw at 514.5 nm. 3. The electronic-holography system shall meet all specification when operated with a NASA-provided external-cavity diode laser radiating single-frequency, single-spatial-mode power of at least 200 mw at 670 nm. 4. The electronic-holography system shall display Bessel characteristic fringes of a vibrating structure with holograms recorded at 30 frames per second. 5. The electronic-holography system shall permit the vibrating object to be displayed in the background together with the superimposed fringes. 6. The electronic-holography system shall increase the fringe pattern to speckle pattern signal to noise ratio by averaging de-correlated speckle patterns. 7. The system shall measure and compute the unwrapped phase distribution in double-exposure holography and the argument of the Bessel function in time-average holography. 8. The system shall be able to: a. display all pattern and results on a monitor; b. print the patterns from the monitor; c. store the patterns in TIFF format; d. store the unwrapped calculations in computer files. 9. The system shall record diffusely reflecting objects: having field angles of at least 20 degrees at the entrance pupil; vibrating with a maximum dot product of sensitivity vector and displacement vector of at least 2.4 micron where the sensitivity vector is defined as the difference between a unit vector in the direction of a reflected principal ray through the entrance pupil and a unit vector in the direction of the corresponding incident ray. 10. The system shall record and display patterns at least 500 pixels wide by 400 pixels high; detect changes in the dot product of the sensitivity and displacement vectors of a vibrating object of 20 nm or less. 11. The system shall include all beam modulators, phase shifters, beam dither devices, vibration drivers and synchronizers required to meet the specification. 12. The optical components of the electronic holography system shall be mounted in a single covered package. 13. The software and hardware required for beam control and for data acquisition, storage, processing and display shall be mounted in a vendor-provided, single, Y2K-compliant, computer with Y2K-compliant operating system and software. 14. The system shall be provided with all cables, connectors and power chords neede to meet the specifications. 15. The contractor shall provide two (2) copies of a detailed operating manual. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-08. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1.
