This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Item 1: Quantity 1 EA, Hexapod 6 Axis Micropositioning System with Motor Controller: NASA requires a six degree of freedom micropositioning system and controller to support an interferometer that shall be used to characterize the optical surface of several cryogenic mirrors. The optical test procedure calls for a low profile stage with 1 micron linear motion resolution, and 1 arcsec angular motion resolution. The stage must be capable of producing motion while supporting 50 kg. The micropositioning system shall provide the software and control electronics. The micropositioning system shall be capable of supporting and positioning the interferometer to the required accuracy in all arbitrary orientations. The controller shall communicate through a standard serial channel and have high-level command language to operate the hexapod. The cable between and the controller shall not be shorter than 20 feet. The specifications for the 6 Axis Micropositioning System are as follows: Specifications: The 6 degrees of freedom microposition system shall have the following specifications: Degree of motion: 6 axes Range of travel: x/y motion +/- 50 mm Z motion (vertical) +/- 25 mm qx +/- 15 deg. qy +/- 15 deg. qz +/- 30 deg. Resolution: x/y motion 1 micron Z motion 0.5 micron qx, qy, qz 5 micro radians Maximum speed: 5 mm/sec in x, y, z 50 mrad/sec in qx, qy, qz Stiffness: x/y plane 2 N/ micron Z axis 20 N/ micron Maximum load capacity: 200 kg in z-axis 50 kg random In additional to the above specifications, the mass of the micropositioning system shall weight less than 20 kg, and less than 350 mm in total height. The distance separating the micropositioning system from the control unit and remote unit shall be no less than 20 feet. Item 2: Quantity 1 EA, Six Axis Manual Control Pad. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-27. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 339111 and 500, respectively. The quoter shall state in their quotation their size status for this procurement.
