- Description
- The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information from vendors that are capable of providing an upgrade to existing equipment ( a Polytec, PI XY Stage M-686.D64) to add a motion controller for the NIST, Material Measurement Lab to allow MML to make improvements in the technology and development of measurement tools which have been developed to accommodate the required systems and system elements. Minimum Requirements: 1 ea: Super Resolution CARS Scanning System, PIMars XYZ Piezo-Nonopositioning System, 300x300x300 um, Parallel Metrology. 1 ea: Modular Digital Multi-Channel Piezo Controller 3 Channels, Capacitive Sensors; and 1 ea: 25x75mm Slide Holder. The upgrade must be hardware and software compatible with the existing equipment. Must be 100% pin-to-pin compatible so that it can be used with existing hardware to enable it to connect from one plug into another. Deviation from any of this compatibility would result in a reduced level of performance and extensive costly reengineering and retrofitting. This sources sought notice is issued to determine the availability of all socioeconomic small business groups capable to provide the services described herein. After results of this market research are obtained and reviewed to determine if they meet NIST's minimum requirements, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Contract. The information requested by this announcement will be used within NIST to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. This is not a Request for Proposals. No Solicitation is currently available, and no unsolicited proposals will be entertained as a result of this notice. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort 334516, as those domestic sources having 500 employees or less. Responses to include: 1. A detailed report/product literature to describe the capabilities to cheryl.coxen@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The literature should include product specifications that can be met and any other information relevant to meeting this requirement. Also, the following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 2. Vendor name, address, point of contact, phone number, email; 3. Name of the company that manufactures the system components for which specifications are provided. 4. Name of company(ies) that are authorized to sell the system components, their addresses, and a point of contact for the company (name, phone number, fax number and email address). 5. Vendor's small business size and type. 6. Indication of number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for delivery of such systems. 7. Indication of whether each instrument for which specifications are sent to cheryl.coxen@nist.gov are currently on one or more GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts and, if so, the GSA FSS contract number(s). 8. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research.
