This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) set forth in FAR Part 13. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for one Digital Wave 4 channel Acoustic Emissions System, model number FM-1, or equivalent Background: The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has requirements for a Digital Wave 4 channel Acoustic Emissions (AE) System model number FM-1 or equivalent. The AE system will be used for detecting and monitoring acoustic events associated with deformation and damage in materials. These materials will consist of monolithics and composites of metals, ceramics and polymers. Most work on these materials will be conducted at the coupon level, but occasional work will be performed on small subelements. Specifications: The Digital Wave 4 channel Acoustic Emissions System, model number FM-1 or equivalent shall have the following salient characteristics: 1) Be a 4 unit system with appropriate signal conditioning for each channel. 2) Be up-gradable to more channels. 3) The A/D system shall be 16 bit. 4) Have broadband (20 kHz – 2 MHz) recording equipment to capture the full spectral range of potential AE signals. 5) Have broadband (50 kHz – 2 MHz) sensors. 6) Have dual path triggering allowing the unit to trigger data recording from processed AE signals. 7) Have appropriate shielding and grounding to minimize signal noise. 8) Be easily portable from place to place. 9) Have its own data acquisition and analysis equipment and produce data files that are easily displayed and manipulated in Windows PC systems. 10) System shall store acquired acoustic wave, and processing and filtering shall be off of that wave. The user shall have the choice of manually changing the processing as desired. 11) Software shall allow for identification of the beginning of the signal and arrival times for easy location of the event within coupon. The user shall have the option of selecting the beginning of the signal manually. Delivery: Delivery of the system to GRC shall be 8 weeks after receipt of order. **NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS: IF PROPOSING AN EQUAL ITEM, OFFEROR MUST INCLUDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE ITEM MEETS THE STATED SPECIFICATIONS** The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-25.
