- Description
- The U. S. TACOM-ARDEC intends to award a sole source purchase order to Oryx Systems, Inc., 9313K Monroe Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28270 for developing ammunition containers that are made from sheet metal with scores to be stamped into the sheet metal on both the top and bottom surfaces. ARDEC is soliciting a laser thickness measurement system that measures the shortest distance between the top and bottom scores. The system shall consist of a laser head mount, two laser heads, and supporting hardware and software for accurate measurement output. The laser system shall be capable of measuring a sheet up to 1/16 inch (one-sixteenth inch) thick. The shortest distance between the two scores will vary between 0.005 to 0.013 inch (five-thousandth to thirteen thousandth inch). The top / bottom scores are not perfectly aligned on top of one another, but the scores may be offset up to 0.002 in. (two-thousandth inch) in the horizontal direction. To measure true shortest distance between the two offset scores, the laser heads shall be able to scan across the score by moving on the mount either manually or with electrical/mechanical assistance. The laser heads shall measure top/bottom score depths in the vertical direction while scanning horizontally across the score. The laser system shall be capable of displaying and storing the score thickness measurements by means of special hardware that interfaces with a standard computer. The computer shall be capable of displaying the true shortest distance with minimal human interaction. Each individual score thickness measurement shall not take more than 10 seconds (ten seconds) between positioning the system to completing a measurement. Prior to acceptance, the contractor shall demonstrate to government representatives that the laser system can inspect and calculate the shortest distance between the two scores with an accuracy of +/- 0.0002? (two ten-thousandth inch). The contractor shall deliver the laser system to TACOM-ARDEC four (4) weeks after the contract award. The authority for this action is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1)? Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). Supplies may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract. See Number Note 22.
