This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses in the Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-15. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Request for Quotes (RFQ) number is NB853000706937DT. The proposed procurement is a Total Small Business set aside. NAICS Code: 333315. Small Business Size Standard: 500 Employees. The U. S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), requires a high speed video camera system capable of high resolution imaging in lowlight conditions. The primary application is mechanical testing. A variety of tests will be filmed, and lighting options are limited and obscured by fixtures and test chambers. Both ductile and brittle fractures are of interest, so recording speeds from 1,000 to 50,000 are required. The videos are used to make quantitative measurements on cracks moving through samples, so the best possible camera resolutions at these speeds are needed. See attachment for list of specifications. Bidders are asked to consider the value of NIST's old high-speed camera system as a trade-in. The equipment is as follows: 1) Kodak Ekta Pro 1000 Imager (for use with 1000 processor only); 2) Kodak Ekta Pro Hi-speed processor (product 10000552-001); 3) various cables. The equipment is in good working order and is available for inspection by contacting Chris McCowan at mccowan@boulder.nist.gov. He can arrange either an on-site inspection (if you can do it within the response time of this announcement), or he can help perform a virtual inspection. All technical questions must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer by fax or by e-mail before March 8, 2007. The required delivery is within 90 calendar days after receipt of order and shall be made F.O. B. Destination to NIST, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305. Award will be made based on price with trade in value factored in (provided that the quoted equipment meets the requirements of this RFQ).
