66 -- THREE AXES TRAVERSING SYSTEM FOR A THREE COMPONENT LASER DOPPLER VELOCIMETER SOL N00421-96-R-1155 DUE 082296 POC Greg Webster, Contract Specialist, (301) 342-1825 x202, Doris Browder, Contracting Officer. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Patuxent River, Maryland has a requirement for a three axes traversing system. This traversing system is required for the alignment of a three component Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) and for the measurement of the flow field around models in a subsonic open return wind tunnel. The alignment of the LDV and the measurement of the flow field require a three axes traversing system that can move a three component LDV in back scatter, allows a component to be placed 90 degrees from the other two components, and is able to traverse one meter in the X, Y, and Z axes. The system shall be accurate, rigid, and rugged and must have the ability to move the orthogonal axial component optics. Furthermore, the traversing system shall not be designed as a permanent structure, but rather must be capable of being assembled and disassembled by users with hand held tools. At contract award the government will have the option to purchase none, one, or two manual rotation stages and appropriate mounting plates for the system. Delivery requirement is six months after contract award. This requirement will be negotiated on an unrestricted basis as a firm fixed price contract. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by this agency. The anticipated solicitation release date is 22 July 1996. Requests for solicitation should be mailed to the above address or faxed to Greg Webster, (301) 342-1864. (0178)
