This announcement constitutes the only solicitation;offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for this procurement is forseven (7) complete Correlated Solutions Video Image Correlation (VIC) Systems to covertwo test programs to be performed by the Structural Strength Test Group (ET30) at MSFC.One test program is governed by NASA Langley Research Center (LARC). The LARC testprogram is a study on the structural response of cylindrical barrels in buckling failuremodes (aka Shell Buckling Test Program), involving a total of eighteen test articles tobe tested in series over the course of 6/2008 to 6/2010. The other test program is theARES Upper Stage Test Program governed by NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC). Thefirst four of the seven VIC systems are required for each of the LARC tests. Theremaining three systems are required for other concurrent ARES US structural testing.See below specifications and requirements. Specifications for quantity seven (7) VideoImage Correlation (VIC) systems utilizing the photogrammetry method that meet or exceedthe requirements below:1.Must be compatible and interchangeable with current VIC system in place at MSFCStructural Test Lab.2.Must provide graphical real time display of deformation and strain over a 3Dimage of the test article geometry. Real time full field data display >10,000points/sec, along with the real time capability of multiple fully processed image pairsper second.3.Full-field strain measurement capability including longitudinal, transverse, andshear strain data and principle strain data.4.The ability to re-calibrate at all times before, during, and after the test. This recalibration must be able to be performed without acquiring additional images.5.Each system will process, display, and export displacement and strain results incartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems. Software must include an option to exportdata in Tecplot format.6.Each system will have global-local imaging and data processing capability andinclude data set merging of local and global data7.System must generate deformation/strain contour plots in.avi format. Individualcontour plots shall be saved in TIFF, JPEG and other formats.8.Systems must be synchronizable to each other with the possibility of one systemserving as the core display system.9.Export of data in ASCII format.10.A variety of precision lockable lenses with the ability to take full field imagesof articles 4x4 to 15x15.11.Permanent software license for each PC. Also, the ability and licensing toproperly process data on any Windows based PC.12.High resolution cameras (at least 4 Mpixel).13.Multiple user-defined plot windows for real time or post processing displays.14.Computers large HD, RAM, dual monitors for each system for real time displays.15.Calibration Standards must be supplied with each system.16.Training several days of on-site training to cover theoretical and practicalusage.Also, must supply additional training as necessary to meet or exceed the currentlevel of expertise on the VIC system that is already in place and in use by customer.17.Support phone/email support for 1 year.18.Warranty - robust warranty package on hardware and softwareThis is a full and open competition solicitation.
