Description

NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Innova 308 Laser with UV and Vis Capability to include I308C 8 watt Argon Ion Laser; 333.6-363.8NM UV ML OPT INNOVA;351.1NM UV SL Option I308; laserpure 40 hear EXHG 60 HZ; halfwave plate rotary mounts capable of holding 2 inches mounted halfwave plates, must provide fine angular adjustment, must be able to rotate a full 360 degrees, must have a graduated scale with 2 degree increments, must provide smooth rotation with zero back-last, and must include a mounting post;and mounting post and base set must interface with rotary mounts as specified in this request and be able to be locked down to a standard optical breadboard. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the item from Coherent Laser Group, of Santa Clara, CA, under the authority of a Recommendation and Determinatin to Solicit From One Source (RDSS). Coherent produces the only intracavity stabilized beam that uses a feedback control, to compensate for thermally produced changes int he cavity geometry to adjust the beam position in the laser tube, thus optimizing power output. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 05/21/01. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
