- Description
- AMENDMENT 2-�The purpose of this Amendment is two-fold: 1.) to dissolve the total small business set-aside and to resolicit the requirement as a full and open competition; and 2.) to extend the submission due date for quotations, to 9:00AM EST on September 3, 2024. Please see attached Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, Attachment 1- Statement of Work, and Attachment 2- Provisions and Clauses for full details. END OF AMENDMENT 2. _____________________________________________________________________ Amendment 1: The purpose of this Amendment is four-fold: 1) to extend the due date for quotes; 2) to provide Government responses to timely submitted vendor questions; 3) to incorporate a revised Statement of Work dated 8/8/24; and 4) to incorporate revised combined synopsis/solicitation document. Due Date: The due date for quotation submission is being extended to 1:00pm EST on August 23, 2024. Vendor Questions and Government Responses: Below you will find a list of question sets submitted by vendors along with the Government�s responses. Question-set 1: Cryostat support structure We request NIST provides: a sketch/drawing of the linear guide carriages with indicative dimensions Govt Response: The exact dimensions of the carriages will be decided after award in discussion with the vendor. confirmation of the anticipated acceleration / velocity of the guide carriage when moving the carriage Govt Response: The magnet will be moved manually at low speed, similar to a sliding door in a de-energized state, as such there is no exact acceleration/velocity. confirmation whether the magnet will be energised or de-energised during movement on the carriage Govt Response: The magnet will be de-energized during movement. what ferromagnetic materials are in close proximity to the magnet so we can ensure the magnet and magnet-support structure can withstand external forces Govt Response: The magnet will be in close proximity to an optical table with mounting hardware for optical components. confirmation the carriage will be securely locked in position after movement Govt Response: There will be end stops on the rails. Ideally one or more locking screws will be part of the support structure. Question-set 2: Options to assist NIST assessment The SOW appears to indicate exceeding several requirements will be looked upon favourably. To avoid an excessive number of options being generated, please confirm: the core limiting constraints (e.g. external dimension, mass, time to ramp to operating field) Govt Response: The government has specified minimum ramp rate and maximum external dimensions and all other limiting constraints. We do not specify the mass as it is not a critical component. the ideal RT bore required (is 165mm the correct interpretation?) Govt Response: See revised Statement of Work. Room temperature bore of the magnet shall have a diameter equal to or exceeding 150 mm. Magnets with larger diameter room temperature bore will be given preference up to a bore size of 170 mm. the ideal magnetic field strength required (how much > 5T?) Govt Response: See revised Statement of Work. Maximum for required and optional line item provided. Question-set 3: Stray field Can NIST provide a sketch drawing to confirm the axial stray field requirements to be sure we have correctly interpreted the intent of requirements ii and iii? �Govt Response: See revised Statement of Work for provided diagram. Please can we have information about what material is at this 295 / 315 cm from the front face? Govt Response: The actual materials are unknown. Space contains standard laboratory equipment. Please see Revised Attachments 1 and 2 for Combined Synopisis/Soliciitation (RFQ) and Statement of Work/ Requriements documents. End of Amendment 1. _________________________________________________________________________ Please see Attachments 1 and 2 for Combined Synopisis/Soliciitation (RFQ) and Statement of Work/ Requriements documents.
