C -- ENGINEERING SUPPORT SOL 52SBNB0C1030 POC Nick Nichols, Contract Specialist (301) 975-6399 or Romena Moy, Contracting Officer (301) 975-4999 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), Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), seeks to acquire off-site engineering support for the purpose of creating shop-ready drawings from an existing design of a neutron monochromator drum stored as three-dimensional (3-D) data in Pro-Engineer format. The neutron monochromator drum is 7 feet in diameter and 6 feet tall. The assembled weight of each drum is approximately 25,000 pounds. Each drum is made up of four main sections. Three of these sections will eventually be filled with steel shot and paraffin by NIST. The third section, which is sandwiched between the second and fourth sections, is composed of various materials, i.e., a series of seventy two (72) wedges, weighing approximately 7,000 pounds, divided into two groups, upper and lower, and a collimator section fabricated out of concentric sections of steel and high density polyethylene. The complete 3-D data-base contains a working concept of the drum from which a realistic set of shop-ready drawings shall be produced to fabricate three separate monochromator assemblies. The period of performance for this contract is three months. All deliverables shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code is 8711 and the small business size standard is $2.5 million dollars. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Interested firms may receive a copy of the RFP by writing to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Acquisition and Assistance Division, Building 301, Room B117, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 3572, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-3572, Reference 52SBNB0C1030, or request by fax number (301) 963-7732.
