- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation, N00173-03-R-KK01, is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 01-11 and DFARS Change Notice 20021220. This is a full and open competitive procurement. The associated NAICS code is 334510 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement to modify an existing Lambda Physik LPX 210 eximer laser operating at 193 nm to produce a laser micromachining system for laser ablation of plastics. NRL intends to fabricate components for microfluidics, Micro and ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS), and other microscale projects. The micromachining system should be user friendly (suitable for use by multiple individuals with no prior experience in laser ablation), translate computer aided design drawings into directions for controlling the laser output, be capable of making features in plastic with micron dimensions, and include a monitoring camera for visualizing the process in real time. The proposal should include installation of the micromachining system at NRL, Washington, D.C., training for a maximum of 5 users at NRL for a maximum of two days and user support (hot line for trouble shooting, availability of ongoing service and repair). The laser ablation system must meet or exceed the following specifications: 1. Purge for Gas Debris control 2. Beam steering optics must allow the laser to maintain the option for current use for mask illumination. 3. UV delivery optics including high reflectivity UV mirrors and high quality, fused SiO2 lenses and 10-15x objective 4. Viewing system for visual process monitoring including 650 nm monochromatic illumination, a CCD camera, parfocal correction optics, and an LCD flat panel monitor 5. Motion system with 100x100 mm X-Y scanning table and rotary encoders with a resolution of 0.5 microns and repeatability of 2 microns and Z-axis motor driven stage 6. A goniometer for substrate positioning with 90 mm transverse axis radius, plus or minus 10 arc-second accuracy, and software-controlled motion. 7. Capability for laser pulse syncronization with motion system 8. Computer and software for motion control capability, 4-axis integrated motion control capability, G-code programming and execution, import of .dxf files and conversion to G-code, on screen interactive process video and inspection and measurement tools. 9. The contractor shall offer the Government at least the same warranty terms, including offers of extended warranties, offered to the general public in customary commercial practice. These warranty terms must be included in the system price. The period of the warranty shall begin upon acceptance. 10. A full set of all written documentation customarily provided to the public with a commercial item shall be provided. This shall include users manual(s) or equivalent as well as copies of any software, and any manuals for the software included with the system, if customarily provided. This documentation must be received at NRL with the system hardware, unless other arrangements are agreed to by the NRL representative. Delivery and acceptance is at NRL, 4555 Overlook Ave. SW, Washington, D.C. 20375, FOB Destination. Delivery shall be no later than 120 days from date of award.
