- Description
- PXIe Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware is common in laboratories and projects performing high-speed data acquisition and instrument control.� The systems are typically configured with one chassis, one controller, and a collection of modular cards performing specific purposes (e.g. analog output, digitization, digital input/output, DC power, counter/timers, etc.).� The modularity of these systems allow instrument modules to be reconfigured between chassis.� This purchase requires two identical systems including a controller, a chassis, a high-speed FPGA based DAQ card, a DC power supply, and a 24-bit analog input/output card. NIST is seeking information from all sources that may be capable of providing a commercial item solution, for the following National Instruments brand name equipment or an exact equal which shall meet or exceed the following requirements: Line Item 0001:���������� National Instruments PXIe-8862 (Part Number: 787987-01) Description:� �������������� 2.6 GHz 8-Core i7 Controller, Windows 10 64-bit, TPM Quantity:�������������������� 2 each Technical Specifications: A.�������� Must include TPM 2.0 B.�������� Must include at least a 512 GB SSD C.������� Must Include at least 16 GB of RAM (788899-01) Line Item 0002:� �������� National Instruments PXIe-7890 (Part Number: 787713-01) Description:� �������������� FlexRIO Multifunction I/O Module, KU060 FPGA, 2 QSFP, 8 AI, 16 AO, 64 DIO Quantity: ������������������� 2 each Technical Specifications A.�������� Must include digital IO cable (1 m length): (SHC68-C68-RDIO2�� 156166-01) B.�������� Must include analog input cable (1 m length): (SHC68-C68-D3��� 188143-01) C.������� Must include analog output cable (1 m length): (SHC68-C68-D4��� 196275-01) Line Item 0003:� �������� National Instruments PXIe-4112 (Part Number: 782857-01) Description:� �������������� NI PXIe-4112 2 Channel Power Supply, 60V, 1A Quantity: ������������������� 2 each Technical Specifications A.�������� Must include external power adapter and cable (763000-01) Line Item 0004:� �������� National Instruments PXIe-1092 (Part Number: 784781-01) Description:� �������������� PXIe-1092 9-slot 3U PXI Express Chassis Quantity: ������������������� 2 each Technical Specifications A.�������� Must include US power cable (763830-01) Line Item 0005:� �������� National Instruments PXIe-4468 (Part Number: 788511-01) Description:� �������������� PXIe-1092 9-slot 3U PXI Express Chassis Quantity: ������������������� 2 each Technical Specifications A.�������� No additional requirements All items must be new.� Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered.� The use of �gray market� components are not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable.�� All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer�s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable. NOTE:� An equivalent solution to the National Instruments must meet the following: (a) interoperability with existing NI hardware, and (b) NI is the only manufacturer offering a FPGA based multifunction card that meets requirements. (a) The nanocalorimetery group at NIST owns and operated 5 existing NI PXIe chassis equipped with a large selection of instrumentation module cards.� These cards are reconfigured regularly to meet the requirements of the measurement being performed and must be interpolatable with our existing systems. (b) To perform closed-loop feedback control of the nanocalorimeter being developed, high-speed analog input and output are required.� NI is the only manufacturer offering analog input, analog output, and digital IO module capable of 2 MS/s.� The PXIe-7890 card from NI enables the FPGA to configured to read differential analog inputs at 2 MS/s, make a decision on that input in less than 10 us, and then set the analog output in less than 200 ns.� These capabilities on the same card are required to enable closed-loop feedback control of the nanocalorimeter instrument being developed. HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE In responding to this notice, please DO NOT PROVIDE PROPRIETARY INFORRMATION. Please include only the following information, readable in either Microsoft Word 365, Microsoft Excel 365, or .pdf format, in the response:� Submit the response by email to the Primary Point of Contact and, if specified, to the Secondary Point of Contact specialist listed in this notice as soon as possible, and preferably before the closing date and time of this notice. Provide the complete name of your company, address, name of contact for follow-up questions, their email, their phone number and, if your company has an active registration in https://sam.gov, your company�s Unique Entity ID (UEI). Identify laboratory equipment that your company sells that is of the nature addressed in the BACKGROUND section of this notice.� Include brand name, make, model, and/or other distinguishing information. State if your company is the manufacturer of the identified equipment or is a retailer or wholesaler that normally sells the identified equipment.� If the latter, indicate whether the manufacturer authorized in writing for your company to sell the identified equipment on behalf of the manufacturer. Describe performance capabilities and relevant or beneficial physical and functional features for any equipment you identified to satisfy the NIST-identified minimum specifications described in this notice. Identify any aspects of the NIST market research notice, including instructions, and draft minimum specifications in the BACKGROUND section above that could be viewed as unduly restrictive or contain unnecessary barriers that adversely affect your ability to fully participate and indicate why. �In such a scenario, please offer suggestions for how the market research notice and draft minimum specifications could be made more inclusive and competitive. Discuss whether the equipment that your company sells and which you describe in your response to this notice may be customized to specifications and indicate any limits to customization. For the NAICS code listed in this notice: Indicate whether your company is (a) a small business or (b) other than small business.� See the Table of Small Business Size Standards and the associated .pdf download file for small business size standards and additional information.
