Description

NASA/GSFC intends to purchase two industrial robotic positioning systems for automated spray operations from Rankin Automation in Broomall, PA. on a sole source basis, because only Yamaha FLIP-series products have the unique required hardware and software compatiblity required by our abbreviated development schedule. Compatibility extends to interchangeability of parts, cables, and software code with existing FLIP-series products in our laboratory. Each system consists of the following: 1.) 1 each Yamaha model F14-10-BK-1050-05-B2 linear axis positioning stage (1050mm linear travel with twin bearings for 120-lb. payload capacity); 2.) 1 each Yamaha model R20-3L-10B2 rotary axis positioner with 360 degree range, and J max=1.83 kg-m square; 3.) 1 each Yamaha model TPB Teach pendant interface pad; 4.) 1 each Yamaha model DCRX-05-20 2-axis robot controller; 5.) 1 each Yamaha 2-axis multi-FLIP cable, 5 meters long; 6.) Battery backup. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 8/13/01. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
