66 -- OPTO-MECHANICAL PARTS SOL 53SBNB960088 DUE 072399 POC Brenda K. Lee (301) 975-6394 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Newport Corporation, 1791 Deere Avenue, Irvine, CA 92606 under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for opto-mechanical parts. These parts are as follow: PRL-24 24 inches Optical Rail; PRC-3 3 inches Optical Stop; PRC-1 1 inch Optical Stop; TGN 120 SS Tilts; UMR 8.25 Translation Stage; BM17.25 1 inch Micrometers; EQ 80-E External UMR mounts; EQ 80-l Internal UMR mounts; UTR80 Rotation Stage; BR4/M-BR4 Mounting Bridle; IG-25-2ML 2 inches by 5 inches by 2 inches table; Doubled Table System; NN8-28 Set of eight 28 inches legs. These parts consist of mounts and translation stages to achieve x-, y-, z-translation, along with tilt axes and rotation. The lamps will be adjusted along these three axes and three different degrees of rotation, thus if any of the parts are missing, the final objective cannot be achieved. The lamps need to be aligned using all degrees of freedom. These parts are intended for the Facility for Automated Spectral Calibration or FASCAL in our Optical Technology Division. These parts consist of a parts which make up a system for adjustments of lamps which are issued by NIST. These parts are unique and only Newport Corporation offers the array of parts which can build up such a rotation and translation setup. The Government requires these parts be compatible with the present lamp adjustment systems at NIST. Newport Corporation is the only source that has a variety of opto-mechanical parts to achieve the 6-degrees of rotational and transnational maneuverability required for the lamp holders. No solicitation package will be issued. The Contractor must be able to meet all the requirements stated herein. The anticipated award date of the contract is on or around July 23, 1999. In accordance with FAR 5.207(e)(3), Numbered Note 22, DOES NOT APPLY. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Brenda Lee at the telephone number identified above.
