Tender Details

***THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE***
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a high speed, Lock-in/Servo system. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to AIM Concepts, 5489 S Iris St Littleton, CO 80123 under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516.
NIST has a need for a Vacuum Compatible stages that meets or exceeds the following draft minimum specifications:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Radiation Physics Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory requires new vacuum-compatible stages for the pending guide installation at the NG6-U and NG6-A neutron beamlines. This acquisition is critical because the new, advanced supermirror guide mandates a vacuum environment. Neutron beamlines require remote manipulation of a monochromator crystal. At a minimum the crystal must be rotated and tilted along one axis. The existing stages supporting NG6 monochromators are not vacuum-compatible, which necessitates their replacement. The NG6-U beamline is a dedicated metrology station for measuring small forces and fundamental physical constants while the NG6-A beamline will be used to develop and test new detector technologies and determine the accuracy of the detector prototypes which may assist in the detection of water in our solar system.
Line Item 0001:
Description: Motor Driven Rotation Stage for use in a Vacuum System
Quantity: 2
Technical Specifications
The 2 Rotation stages must be identical
The stages must be rated to work at pressures of 1x10-6 Torr or lower
The bulk (or body) of the stage must be made of an aluminum alloy (specifically not a Copper alloy) or a material with comparable or less neutron activatio...
