- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This procurement is being conducted under theSimplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This procurement is set-aside for small business. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for:Giga-Cycle Fatigue (GCF) Test system, Qty 1GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS are: The Vendor shall provide the following equipment.1) Electromagnetic Dynamic Exciter (Shaker).The Vendor shall supply an electromagnetic dynamic exciter (shaker) to drive agovernment-furnished test fixture-specimen load using high frequency sinusoidaldisplacement. The shaker converts electric power into mechanical displacements. Ifother than ambient cooling is required for continuous duty at 80% of the rated power,then the Vendor shall supply an appropriate cooling system which requires onlyconditioned room air and electrical power. The Vendor shall provide all power and datacables required for independent operation, with a minimum cable length of nine (9) feet. The Vendor shall provide SAE-threaded armature inserts of adequate size for the maximumrated capacity for attachment of loads. The Vendor shall provide a trunnion mountingsystem to rigidly attach the shaker to the laboratory floor. The shaker assembly weightshall not exceed 200 lbs. The shaker shall meet or exceed the following operatingcharacteristics.1. Minimum operating frequency range: DC (0 Hz) to 7000 Hz.2. Minimum peak force output for sine function loading (bare moving element armature):900 N (200 lbs.).3. Minimum peak acceleration output for sine function loading (bare moving elementarmature): 100 g.4. Minimum peak-to-peak displacement travel: 10 mm (0.4 inches).5. Minimum duty cycle for continuous air-cooled operation: 80% of peak rated force.6. Minimum peak acceleration output for continuous operation with an additional armatureload (GCF test specimens and attachment fixture) equal to 1.0 lbs.: 65 g.7. Minimum peak acceleration output for continuous operation with an additional armatureload (GCF test specimens and attachment fixture) equal to 0.2 lbs.: 90 g.8. Minimum peak-to-peak armature displacement output for continuous operation at 6000 Hzwith an additional armature load (GCF test specimens and attachment fixture) equal to 1.0lbs.: 0.035 mils.9. Minimum peak-to-peak armature displacement output for continuous operation at 7000 Hzwith an additional armature load (GCF test specimens and attachment fixture) equal to 0.2lbs.: 0.035 mils.10. Maximum electrical power consumption: 3 kW.2) Linear Power Amplifier.The Vendor shall supply a solid state linear power amplifier to drive the Vendor-suppliedshaker system for all ranges of operation specified previously. If other than ambientcooling is required for continuous duty, then the Vendor shall supply an appropriatecooling system which requires only conditioned room air and electrical power. The Vendorshall provide all power and data cables required for independent operation, with aminimum cable length of nine (9) feet.3) Electronic Controller and Data Acquisition System.The Vendor shall supply an electronic vibration control and data acquisition system tocontrol the shaker and record test results for the GCF test system. The system shallinclude sine closed loop control, and resonance search and dwell control, for thepreviously specified shaker minimum operating frequency range.Frequency shall becontrollable within one (1) Hz or less. The vendor shall supply software upgrades whenavailable for a period of one (1) year after delivery of equipment. The Vendor shallprovide all power and system data cables required for independent operation, with aminimum cable length of nine (9) feet.The system shall include the following additionalcapabilities and features.1. A minimum of one (1) 24-bit output channel for shaker control.2. A minimum of four (4) 24-bit input channels for the following signals: oneaccelerometer, one laser specimen amplitude control feedback, one laser specimenamplitude monitor (analog or TTL relay open/closed circuit), and one additional analogsignal to be determined.3. A data acquisition system hard drive with a minimum recording capacity of 100 GB.4. Minimum 49 kHz analysis bandwidth.5. A man-machine interface computer pre-loaded with controller system software, MSWindows XP operating system, and MS Office applications, with Core 2 Duo Intel processorrunning at 2.33 GHz or higher, minimum 4 GB RAM, minimum 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, 22LCD monitor.6. An accelerometer with signal conditioning as required, 20 foot cable and connectors,and attachment hardware, sized and compatible with all ranges of shaker operationspecified previously.4) Manuals, Support, and Delivery.The Vendor shall provide Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manuals for allequipment furnished. The Vendor shall provide a minimum of one (1) on-site visit andunlimited email and telephone application support for a period of one (1) year afterdelivery of equipment.The Vendor shall deliver without damage all equipment to GRC.Delivery of the item shall be to the NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road,Cleveland, Oh 44135. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-34.NAICS CODE AND BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD:The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334515 and the smallbusiness size standard for this procurement is 500 employees.
