Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in Morgantown, WV competitively purchased a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system in July of 1999, from DANTEC Measurement Technology, Mahwah, NJ. The existing PIV system enables NIOSH/HELD/ECTB to detect particle displacement in fractions of a second. A new light source is required, and NIOSH would like to purchase it directly from the system manufacturer for reasons of compatibility and maintainability of all system equipment. The necessary computer and associated particle image velocimetry software have already been purchased from DANTEC and with their light source would allow DANTEC to provide technical support for the entire system. The parts NIOSH intends to purchase are 1) 80x60 Laser mount for mini Nd:YAG light-sheet for use with 38A5260/2/4/6 NewWave laser and Continuum MiniLite Laser (suitable for mounting to mini Nd:YAG laser supplied by DANTEC); 2) 80x62 medium angle light sheet module for small beam diameters (used for small beam diameter, light sheet module 40 degrees); 3) 80x63 Light-sheet thickness adjuster module (minimum sheet thickness range: 0.6-2.6 mm, sheet focusing range 200-1000mm); 4) 38Z5283 SOLO PIV 3-15, (Energy at 532nm: 50mJ per pulse, Repetition rate: 15 Hz, Energy Stability at 532 nm: plus or minus 4 percent, Beam Diameter: 3.5 mm, Pulse Width: 5-7ns, Divergence: less than 4 mrad); and 5) 38A5284 Motorized optical attenuator (controls and adjusts the intensity of the laser beam for experiment and optical setup. Mountable in Solo PIV 3-15). If there are vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet the stated requirements above, they may submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures and references to Brenda L. Goodwin (MS 1019), Reference: 2001-Q-04024, DHHS, PHS, CDC, NIOSH, ALOSH, 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV 26505. The Government intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with DANTEC Measurement Technology. Organizations may respond within 10 days after publication of this notice. Information received would generally be used for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. POC: Brenda Goodwin, 304/285-5882/Contracting Officer, Rex S. Wolfe, 304/285-5883. This notice is issued for informational purposes only.
