Announcement Number: NIST-SSN-26-73WORKCELL
Subject: Design and Integration of a Manufacturing Robotics Workcell
Applicable NAICS: 541330 - Engineering Services
Applicable PSC: R425 - Support - Professional: Engineering/Technical
BACKGROUND
This is a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) requesting industry response to help the Government determine the availability and capability of small business and other than small businesses that are capable of providing any or all of the services required by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This notice is strictly to request information for market research purposes to help NIST determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential requirement. This notice shall not be construed as a solicitation, an obligation, or commitment by the NIST.
OVERVIEW
NIST is conducting market research to identify potential sources that can perform design and integration of a manufacturing robotics workcell.
The NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL) Measurement Science for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (MSRAS) Program requires a professionally designed and fully integrated manufacturing testbed capable of performing an industrial task repeatedly and continuously over extended periods (hours to days), similar to the uptime of a real manufacturing cell. The workcell design shall represent a realistic manufacturing environment, integrating common industrial automation tools like robot arms, conveyor belt, fixtures, etc., as well as human safety components.
The specific task requirements are minimal, so the Contractor may propose a task (or simulated task) of their choice, that represents a frequently implemented integration service.
ANTICIPATED POTENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
