- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: ITEM 1, Qty. 1, Phase Doppler Interferometer 200 MD System or equal; ITEM 2, Qty. 1, Computer controlled stepper motor system; ITEM 3, Qty. 1, Documentation; and ITEM 4, Installation, Checkout and Training Items 1 and 2 shall meet the salient characterisics listed below: 1. The Phase Doppler Interferometer (PDI) system shall provide droplet size and velocity measurements for 2 orthogonal directions for use in research high-pressure spray combustion environments such as a high pressure test rig with limited optical access through windows. 2. The PDI system shall provide droplet size measurements in the range 0.5 micrometer to 500 micrometers, with at least 1 micrometer resolution and 1 micrometer accuracy. 3. The PDI system shall provide measurements of droplet velocities up to 100 m/s with a 1% accuracy. 4. The PDI system shall be capable of measuring data rates as high as 100,000 per second. 5. The PDI system shall have a minimum sampling frequency (in quadrature) of 320 MHz. 6. The PDI system shall be optimized and capable of operation in a 90 degree mode for use in a high pressure combustion rig with window optical access. For this application, the windows of the high pressure rig consist of qnty 4 x 2.9 in diameter effective aperture 1.75 in thick UV grade fused silica windows located approximately 10 in away from the probe volume. The qnty 4 windows are located at 90 degree locations relative to one another and are perpendicular to the gas flow axis of the high pressure rig. The pressures inside the rig can be as high as 450 psia. The PDI system shall also provide a velocity-only backscatter measurement capability. 7. Due to harsh vibrations and limited space in the test cell, the PDI system shall be robust and compact, thus fragile single-mode fiber optic connections, or bulky large-frame argon ion lasers are not acceptable. 8. The PDI system shall include a 3-axis automated stepper motor scan and traverse system with 250 mm of travel. The traverse system shall have software and drivers and be integrated into the PDI AIMS software. ITEM 3: DOCUMENTATION One set of comprehensive manuals, including schematics, which may include but is not limited to user, system, troubleshooting and maintenance. ITEM 4: INSTALLATION, CHECKOUT AND TRAINING A. The contractor shall include all labor and travel expenses for installation, testing and calibration at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) at an agreed upon time within two weeks after delivery. The system shall be tested using a water spray system at the time of installation, and include a follow-on test within a spray flame environment within 1 year of installation. The set-up shall insure that Item 1 and 2 meets all functionality specifications listed in this document. Set-up shall be performed Monday-Friday, non-federal holidays, during normal business hours at NASA GRC (typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) B. The contractor shall include a minimum of one person for one day of on-site operational training to coincide with the system verification. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC05-17. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 333314 and 500 respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for this procurement.
