The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-44.*** *** The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334515 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is unrestricted and all interested Contractors may submit a quotation.*** ***All interested Contractors may provide a quote for the following: Line Item 0001: Quantity One (1) LED Lifetime Test System, which shall meet or exceed the following minimum specifications: 1. The system shall meet the required measurement conditions and procedures specified in the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) LM-80-08 Approved Method for Measuring Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources. NIST will not provide this publication. Contractors are responsible for obtaining the above referenced publication. 2. The system shall be able to power on LEDs with an electric pulse less than 10 micro seconds to determine LED's junction temperature. 3. The integrating sphere shall be long-term stable with at least three (3) built-in reference standards for system calibration. The ambient temperature of the test LEDs shall be maintained within 0 - 5ºC below the LED case temperature. The LED ambient temperature shall be adjustable with a range from 15 - 120ºC. 4. The thermoelectrically temperature-controlled heat sink shall be able to control the temperature of at least 80 three-Watt high-power LEDs at 25ºC and with an adjustable temperature range from 15 - 120ºC. 5. The circuit board shall be able to mount at least 80 high-power LEDs for the lifetime test with thermal resistance 3ºC/per Watt from the LED case to the temperature-controlled heat sink. 6. The multichannel DC and pulse power supply shall be able to power up all LEDs at the same time for LED aging and also turn on LEDs one by one for total spectral radiant flux measurement by using relay switches that can be controlled by a computer. In addition, it shall be able to power on LEDs in a pulse mode in less than 10 micro seconds to determine LED junction temperature. 7. The system shall include an electrical measurement system that is capable of measuring LED current, voltage in both DC and less than 10 micro seconds pulse mode. The DC measurement uncertainty shall be less than 0.1%. Tasks: Draft Design Drawing: The Contractor shall provide a draft design drawing of the LED lifetime test system and related design information along with the quotation. The drawing shall illustrate the overall schematic design, such as a block diagram with description of technical approaches. The Technical Information Contact (TIC) will review the drawing along with the other quotation materials for compliance with specifications and approval. Final Design Drawing: The Contractor shall provide a final design drawing of the LED lifetime test system and related design information after award. The drawing shall illustrate the overall schematic design, such as a block diagram with description of technical approaches. The Technical Information Contact (TIC) will review the drawing along with the other quotation materials for compliance with specifications and approval. Delivery: Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination. FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. The contractor shall deliver line item 0001 to NIST, Building 301, Shipping and Receiving, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1640. Technical Evaluation Criteria: Award shall be made to the quoter whose quote offers the best value to the Government, technical capability, past performance, and price will be considered. The Government will evaluate information based on the following evaluation criteria: 1) Technical Capability factor "Meeting or Exceeding the Minimum Specifications," 2) Past Performance and 3) Price. Technical capability, and past performance, when combined, shall be more important than price. If Technical Capability, and Past Performance are equivalent, price shall be the determining factor. Technical Capability: Evaluation of Technical Capability will be based on the information provided in the quotation. NIST will evaluate whether the offeror has demonstrated that its proposed equipment meets or exceeds all minimum requirements. Quotations that do not demonstrate the proposed equipment meets all requirements will not be considered further for award. If an offeror does not indicate whether its proposed equipment meets a certain minimum requirement, NIST will determine that it does not. Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance information and, if appropriate, its proposed subcontractors' past performance to determine its relevance to the current requirement and the extent to which it demonstrates that the offeror has successfully completed relevant contracts in the past five years. In assessing the offeror's past performance information, NIST will evaluate the quality, timeliness, and ability to control cost and schedule of the past work. Evaluation of this factor will be based on information contained in the technical portion of the quotation and information provided by references. The Government will evaluate past performance information by contacting appropriate references, including NIST references, if applicable. The Government may also consider other available information in evaluating the Offeror's past performance. The Government will assign a neutral rating if the offeror has no relevant past performance information. Price: Quoted price will be evaluated for reasonableness. Provisions and Clauses: ***The full text of a FAR provision or clause may be accessed electronically at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html.*** ***The following provisions apply to this acquisition: 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items; 52.212-3 Offerors Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items.*** ***Offerors must complete annual representations and certifications on-line at http://orca.bpn.gov in accordance with FAR 52.212-3 Offerors Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items.
