This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Request for Quotation number is N62645-05-T-0116. Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-05 are incorporated. NAICS 423460. The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate (IAW FAR 6.302-1) with LOH Optical Machinery Inc. N116 W18111 Morse Drive Germantown, Wisconsin 53022-2484 as the only source that can provide Model LOH TORO-X-2S LOH RX Polishing & Fining Equipment. 1) SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS: A) The Naval Medical Logistics Command has a requirement for a complete two spindle smoothing and polishing machine for manufacturing toric and spherical surfaces. It can smooth and polish spherical and toric lenses, up to ?20 and +12 D. It clamps blocked lenses automatically in the work-piece chuck and automatically moves the lens into working position. It returns it to the start position when finished. It has variable speed control for the spindle tool. It allows smoothing and polishing for an extended curve range. It has computer-controlled fining parameters. Provides automatic adjustment of rotational speed, working pressure and cycle time that can be set individually. This automatic adjustment eliminates operator decisions and optimizes quality. The pneumatic reception chuck holds the lens in position and applies uniform pressure across the entire surface of the lens. This also eliminates pins. It will have simple data input through barcode reader and computer-interface. It will be a flexible machine featuring a variable speed control with start delay and auto-reverse.
