- Description
- 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 procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is NOT set aside for small business. This notice is being issued as a Request for Offer (RFO) for: Item 1) one Stylus Profilometer System including one set of documentation and operator training. Item 1 The Stylus Profilometer System shall meet the following specifications: 1. Objective The surface profilometer shall be capable of measuring surface texture and features of various mechanical components such as bearings, gears, seals, piston and piston rings, and turbine blades. A versatile turn-key system is required that can provide measurements on this wide variety of part geometries. The equipment will be located in a laboratory environment. 2. General requirements A stylus, contact type profilometer that uses contacting type techniques is required. Systems based on non-contacting type techniques such as laser and interferometer type systems SHALL NOT be considered since some parts to be measured will not allow for line-of-sight and access to the part?s surface. Only stylus, contacting type instruments shall be furnished. The turn-key stylus profilometer system shall include: the measuring system, contacting stylus, computer system for digital capture of the data, and integrated software for removal of datums, removal of forms, and calculation of profiles, waviness, and surface roughness features and statistical-based surface roughness characteristics. 3. Specific requirements 3.1. Vertical performance (direction nominally normal to surface of interest) 3.1.1. System shall include both a diamond-tip stylus and a ball-radius stylus 3.1.2. Minimum of 10 mm measurement range using a diamond-tip stylus 3.1.3. Minimum of 20 mm measurement range using a ball-radius type stylus 3.1.4. Resolution equal to or better than 1 nm when employing the diamond-tip stylus 3.1.5. Maximum contact force of 2 mN when employing the diamond-tip stylus 3.1.6. Maximum contact force of 25 nM when employing the ball-radius type stylus 3.1.7. Vertical axis repeatability indication of 0.2 micrometer or better when measuring both curved and flat calibration standards 3.2. Horizontal performance (direction nominally parallel to the surface of interest) 3.2.1. Traverse length of 150 mm (minimum) 3.2.2. Data sampling interval of 0.2 micrometer or better 3.2.3. Capability of at least 1,000,000 datapoints per trace for the largest traverse distance 3.2.4. Capability of industry standard datum corrections 3.2.5. Straightness uncertainty of 0.15 micrometer or better over the maximum traverse length 3.2.6. Traverse speed range of covering 5 mm/s to 0.2 mm/s (or extended range covering this interval) 3.3. System performance 3.3.1. Vertical traverse of 400 mm minimum to accommodate the needed wide variety of part geometries 3.3.2. Inclination uncertainty of 0.5 arc minute or better for +/- 35 degree range of inclination from machine datum 3.3.3. Radius measurement uncertainty when measuring calibration artifacts of perfect radius ? better than 0.1% for nominal radius of 100 mm or greater, better than 1.0% for nominal radius of 0.1 ? 100 mm 3.3.4. Calibration standards/artifacts will be provided as part of turnkey system 3.3.5. A computer, monitor, and printer shall be provided as part of the turnkey system for data capture, manipulation, analysis, storage, and display. 3.3.6. Even though the equipment will be located in a laboratory environment, the turn-key system shall include appropriate desk and vibration isolation to maximize resolution and accuracy 3.4. Software performance 3.4.1. The software shall be integrated with the measuring system 3.4.2. Shall analyze the measured data, display and print results on roundness, flatness, waviness, form, and roughness 3.4.3. Shall provide for, either by software or hardware, industry standard filtering of data (with ISO standard cut-offs) 3.4.4. Shall provide the option of capturing data with no filtering (other than the natural mechanical filtering inherent to a stylus type measurement) 3.4.5. Shall provide the opportunity to exclude regions within the measurement data prior to analysis (operator selected) 3.4.6. Shall calculate industry standard surface texture characteristics per ISO standard. As a minimum, the parameters shall include average roughness Ra; the root mean square roughness Rq; the skewness Sk, extreme value descriptors including maximum peak height Rp, the maximum valley height Rv, and the maximum peak to valley height Rmax. 3.5. Operator training ? The Contractor shall include training of up to 3 NASA Glenn personnel at the NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio within 1 month of delivery of the system. The training shall include safe operation requirements, proper use to ensure the integrity of the measurement system, and knowledge required to measure the surface and analyze the measured data. 3.6. One copy of documentation/instruction for the operation of all software and hardware of the Stylus Profilometer system.
