Moschetti, Contract Specialist, Phone (301) 286-3227, Fax (301) 286-1773, Email jmoschet@pop100.gsfc.nasa.gov NOTICE TEXT: NASA/GSFC intends to purchase a High-Precision Translation Stage and Controller for X-ray Optical measurements from Newport Corporation in Irvine, CA. Newport Corporation is the sole proprietor of this high-precision translation stage and controller for x-ray optical measurements. The following items are being purchased: 1.) Translation stage, model PM500-16LW.100 (16" linear travel with 100 nanometer resolution). 2.) Controller, model PM500-C6 (6 axis controller, tuned and matched to item # 1). The controller must be uniquely designed to meet the requirements of GSFC's extensive library of command and control software developed in-house. Also, cabling for the interface between the controller and stage must be interchangeable with PM 500 equipment. Since the controller and translation stage must be a matched set, the stage must be a PM 500 product. Therefore, only Newport Corporation's PM500 series products in the X-ray Calibration Facility meet the standards for this unique hardware and software. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. 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 7/19/01. 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. Oral communications are not acceptable. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
