Contracting Office Address
Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Room B129, Mail Stop 1640, Gaithersburg, MD, 20899-1640, UNITED STATES
Description
The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on commercial vendors that are capable of providing a ball bar calibration machine that can calibrate the center to center length of ball bars used for laser tracker calibration.
NIST has a need for a ball bar calibration machine that would meet the following requirements:
1. RANGE OF BALL BARS THAT CAN BE CALIBRATED ? The system must be able to calibrate ball bars with a minimum length of 300 mm; maximum length greater than 2800mm; minimum sphere size of 25 mm; and a maximum sphere size greater than 38 mm.
2. LENGTH UNCERTAINTY - The expanded uncertainty (k equals 2) in a single measurement of the ball bar center to center length shall be no greater than 0.6 parts per million.
3. SENSORS, INSTRUMENTATION AND SOFTWARE - The system must include a data acquisition card and an interferometer system along with an environmental compensation system that are compatible with the Renishaw Application Programming Interface (API) and Visual Basic. The system must use self-mastering techniques to establish the center to center length of ball bars calibrated with the system. That is, the system shall not rely on master ball bar artifacts to ensure traceability of measurements.
4. AUTOMATION AND DRIVE SYSTEM - The system must be manually operated (no drive motors or servo system and\or computer controller).
5. DOCUMENTATION - Full documentation of the uncertainty budget along with proof of the metrological traceability of measurements performed with the instrument to the SI unit of length.
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, 333314, as those domestic sources having 500 employees or less. Please include your company?s size classification in any response to this notice.
Companies that manufacture ball bar measuring systems are requested to email a detailed report describing their abilities to todd.hill@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The report should include achievable specifications and any other information relevant to your product or capabilities. Also, the following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1. Name of the company that manufactures the specimen handlers for which specifications are provided. 2. Name of company(ies) that are authorized to sell the specimen handlers, their addresses, and a point of contact for the company (name, phone number, fax number and email address). 3. Indication of number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for delivery of such systems. 4. Indication of whether each instrument for which specifications are sent to todd.hill@nist.gov are currently on one or more GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts and, if so, the GSA FSS contract number(s). 5. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research.
