- THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-60. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334513 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is unrestricted and all interested Contractors may submit a quotation. Background: The Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) requires a Multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) System that is accurate, dynamic and flexible to support the wide range of measurement needs of our Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Test Facility. The system will need to sample and store data from multiple types of sensors, each with their own frequency and signal range. Data types that will be measured include load cells, thermocouples, transducers, strain gages, humidity, and UV exposure. All interested Contractors may provide a quote for the following: Line Item 0001: Quantity Two (2) Multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) System, which shall meet or exceed the following minimum specifications: General Requirements: 1. The system must consist of a series of modular multichannel data acquisition and control units. 2. Each unit must consist of a controller with serial, USB and parallel port, analog to digital converters, digital to analog convertors, digital counters, TTL digital input and output channels, and input terminal blocks. 3. Each unit must be capable of independently measuring input from devices such as thermocouples, thermopiles (0 - 50 mV), gas analyzers (0 - 10 V or 0 - 20 mA output), strain gauges, resistance temperature detectors, load cells, photo detectors, and any other measurement devices with analog (Direct Current Voltage) or digital outputs (i.e., RS232, GPIB, USB, TCP/IP). 4. The units must be deployable in several different configurations including portable instruments racks, hardened cases, and conditioned boxes. 5. Each unit must be given a unique identification number and shall be set to run in a stand-alone mode or as part of a globally distributed synchronized data acquisition system. 6. The system must be compatible with National Instruments LabVIEW software. Component Requirements: 1. Must be 19-inch rack mountable. 2. Total system warm-up time must be ≤ 15 minutes. 3. Must include cables and terminal blocks for connecting analog and digital signals. 4. Must have flexibility in its measurement system configurations for variable types and numbers of sensors (scalability of modules). 5. Must have real-time Windows 64-bit operating environment. 6. Must have ability to expand the system in the future through either additional slots for expansion and/or separate modules that can be connected and synchronized for data acquisition without additional programming. Expansion chassis and modules must have similar dimensions and a common interface for packaging/storage/logistics. Controller Requirements: 1. 32 GB solid state drive. 2. 2.5 GHz dual core processor. 3. Up to 1 GB/s system and up to 250 MB/s slot bandwidth. 4. 1 GB (1 x 1 GB DIMM) dual-channel 800 MHz DDR2 RAM standard, 4 GB (1 x 4 GB DIMM) RAM. 5. 80 GB integrated hard drive SATA. 6. 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet port. 7. DVI-I video connector. 8. IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel port. 9. GPIB (IEEE 488) controller 10. 4 ports for USB 2.0 host interface. 11. RS-232 serial port host interface. 12. Generic interface bus with digital I/O. 13. Software: OS and drivers already installed and hard drive based recovery image. Module Requirements: 1. 32 analog inputs. 2. 2 MS/s max sampling rate/channel. 3. 4 analog outputs. 4. 48 digital I/O lines 5. 10 MHz max digital I/O rate Chassis Requirements: 1. 8-slot chassis. 2. Must accept 3U PXI, PXI Express, CompactPCI, and CompactPCI Express modules. 3. 1 PXI Express system slot. 4. 7 peripheral slots: 7 PXI Express compatible, 4 PXI compatible, and 1 PXI Express system timing compatible. 5. Up to 1 GB/s per slot dedicated bandwidth (x4 PCI Expess), 4 GB/s total system bandwidth. 6. Quiet operation for 0 - 30°C at 43.6 dBA. 7. Low-jitter internal 10 MHz reference clock for PXI slots with 25 ppm stability. 8. Low-jitter internal 100 MHz reference clock for PXI Express slots with 25 ppm stability. Training: The Contractor shall provide training on the system for at least one half day on-site at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD campus. Training shall be provided for 2 - 3 NIST employees. Training shall include a review of equipment setup, operation, and data analysis options. Warranty: The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a one (1) year warranty for the system. In addition, please provide a description of the warranty provided for this equipment. Please include the following details: 1. Length of warranty 2. What is included? (Parts, Labor) 3.
