- Description
- Notice of Intent: NB688000-17-03728 Status: Open Description of Contract Action: NIST Digital Servo Systems. Post Date: 06/19/2017 Close Date: 06/22/2017 File Name: NB688000-17-03728 / NIST Digital Servo Systems. Contact Points: Dennis Fuentes, Contracting Officer (303) 497.5573 This requirement is conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). This is a notice of intent to negotiate on a sole source basis and is not a request for competitive proposals. Firms who want to challenge the sole source must submit an interest letter that demonstrates your firm's ability to provide an equivalent service as described below. Interested parties must provide rationale as to why they should be considered. All interested firms must respond to this special notice by 22 June, 2017, 11:00am, Mountain Time to Dennis M. Fuentes at dennis.fuentes@nist.gov. Responses received will be assessed; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion for the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. NIST will not reimburse for any costs connected with providing the capability information. Description: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate and award on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b) with Technosyste, in Warsaw, Poland. Sole Source determination is based on the market research that shows only one vendor can comply to this critical need that meets all the NIST technical requirements. The NAICS code 334516 - Analytical Labortory Instrument Manufacturing, and Small bBusiness Size Standard is 1,000 employees. DELIVERABLES: Ten units/copies of the complete enclosed NIST digital servo system (not including the FPGA which will be separately installed by NIST), as well as 5 units of the stuffed printed circuit board (also not including the FPGA) used in the NIST digital servo system. Delivery is required within 8 weeks of the receipt of the order in order to meet milestones for the different projects that require the servo systems. SPECIFICATIONS NIST digital servo systems, and stuffed PC boards used in the NIST digital servo systems NB688000-17-03728 BACKGROUND: The NIST ion storage group of the Time and Frequency Division conducts experiments that support the NIST mission on atomic clock development and quantum information science. As part of this work the group requires servo control systems for high speed control of the frequency and amplitude of lasers. This work is supported by both NIST and other agencies. PURPOSE: To achieve maximum servo control performance, Dr. David Leibrandt of the NIST ion storage group has designed and engineered a digital servo system based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Array). This NIST designed unit is called the "NIST digital servo system". The purpose of this requisition is to obtain multiple copies of the NIST digital servo system, and multiple copies of the fully stuffed PC boards used in the NIST digital servo system. DELIVERABLES: Ten units/copies of the complete enclosed NIST digital servo system (not including the FPGA which will be separately installed by NIST), as well as 5 units of the stuffed printed circuit board (also not including the FPGA) used in the NIST digital servo system. Delivery is required within 8 weeks of the receipt of the order in order to meet milestones for the different projects that require the servo systems. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: To ensure compatibility with the currently employed NIST digital servo system, the delivered systems must match the current design. The system is based on an FPGA evaluation board made by Opal Kelly, model XEM6010-LX150. The board communicates with a PC via USB, using drivers and C++ and Verilog libraries provided by Opal Kelly. Key specifications include: • 2 analog input channels (LTC2195, 16 bit, 100 MSPS) • 2 analog output channels (AD9783, 16 bit, 400 MSPS) • 1 analog output channel (AD5791, 20 bit, 1 MSPS, amplified to 0V to +65V output) • Several digital I/O channels • Latency (ADC, digital processing, and DAC) including PI filter: 320 ns TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Full compatibility with the currently employed system requires transferring the details of the current NIST digital servo design. This has been previously accomplished to the company Technosystem. The transfer was done by Dr. Joe Britton, a former NIST associate, who now is employed by the Army Research Lab. Dr. Britton has received 25 copies of the complete enclosed NIST digital servo system. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY OR INFORMATION: As discussed under Technical Considerations, the NIST servo system design must be transferred to the supplier. This has already been accomplished with the company Technosystem. DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE: Delivery shall be no later than 8 weeks after receipt of order. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE: End user will inspect and test the merchandise upon delivery. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ATTACHMENTS/REFERENCES: No attachments or drawings are required for a purchase with Technosystem. _____________________________________________________________________________________
