The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-31 (4/20/2009). The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334519 and the business size standard is 500. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. It is the intent of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to procure the services from PI (Physik Instrument)L.P.,16 Albert Street, Auburn, MA., 01501, the following: 1. Part Number: M-810.00 Miniature Hexapod, with 6-DOF Controller, Travel: X/Y/Z=40/40/13mm, u/v/w=22/22/60˚, quantity one (1) each The sole source determination is based on the fact the Laboratory of Cardiac Energetic designed an in-vivo microscopy tracking paradigm that required fine movement in 3 dimensions. The ability of the new 810 hexapod to fit beneath the microscope makes it a substantial upgrade in terms of usability for in-vivo microscopy. PI continues to be the only company offering computer controlled micron precision hexapod stages, having the following unique attributes, and a true Parallel Kinimatics Multi-axis system design in which all actuators act directly upon the same moving platform. This design achieves no cumulative guiding errors. High Positioning Resolution The design of the M-810 Hexapod allows for position and hold of a position down to 0.1 microns with up to a 5kg payload when power is applied. Freely Definable Pivot Point Allows the user to set a pivot point anywhere inside or outside the working envelope of the 6 axis positioning system. This allows the user to move any axis about this point-in-space. Software Positioning and alignment algorithms are preprogrammed into the controller and can be called with one simple marco command. This simplifies the set-up time required to get the system running. GCS code compatible - ability to transfer programs between micropositioning products and nanopositioning products including piezo’s. Cable management This 6 axis positioning system has no moving cables and only one main cable between the Hexapod and Controller. Moving cables can add unwanted friction and vibration into the system, which can influence the results of data being collected. This design and will not affect image stability Brushless DC Motors Are used for this Hexapod to achieve a greater than 20,000 Hour lifetime.
