- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation 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 a set of two (2)adapting optics to efficiently transform the InfraRed Telescope Facility (IRTF) outputbeam into a suitable input beam for Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (EXES).SPECIFICATIONSThe adapting optics includes two separate reflective elements figured on aluminumsubstrates. One element is a 100mm-diamter off-axis ellipsoid and the other a25mm-diamter off-axis hyperboloid. A Zemax computer model will be made available to thevendor to aid in understanding the system design. Detailed specifications of the opticalelements follows:_________________________EllipseRadius511.427442mm 3 fringes at 633nm wavelengthConic Constant -0.509843Surface irregularity less than lambda/4 RMS at 633nm wavelengthSurface roughness<80, rmsOffaxis distance 716.252mm 2mm Diameter 101.6mm +0.00/-0.125mm.

Once the optics have been received and integrated, laboratorytests will be conducted to verify the design and implementation prior to shipment of theinstrument to NASAs InfraRed Telescope Facility atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCEThe adapting optics are required at NASA Ames Research Center on or before October 15,2010.DELIVERABLESDeliverables under this procurement include the two optical elements specified above,plus test data demonstrating that the optical elements meet the specification provided. An interferometric wavefront error map for each element would be an acceptable form ofverification test data, but other types of test data may be acceptable. Offerors shallindicate their intended form of verification test data in their quotation package.The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and the small businesssize standard for this procurement are 333314 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing)with a small business size of 500 employees, respectively.
