1. The system must be an all-in-one system to acquire and process full field vibration measurements of structures up to several square meters in size. Measurement of 3-D dynamic velocity and displacement measurements of structures. The system must be able to scan the geometry of complex structural surfaces used in aerospace systems
2. Ability to calculate dynamic stress and strain; the system must have the ability to calculate both dynamic stresses and strains including linear and shear, von mises stresses, and principle stresses
3. Minimum Bandwidth of 0-80 kHz
4. Velocity range of 0.01 micrometers per second to 10 meter per second
5. Laser scanner resolution of at least plus or minus 0.002 degrees
6. Ability to process velocity data into principle stress with a resolution of one (1) microstrain; the principal stress should be strain
7. Ability of each of the three laser vibrometer units to be used independently as a stand only device to measure single point response measurements
8. Ability to store, process, and animate time domain and frequency domain data
9. Acquire a minimum of four (4) channels of dynamic data with an integrate IEPE signal conditioning 4 mA, 24V supply
10. Ability to scan and process exportable geometry files of structures
11. Ability to provide 3-D animations of mode shapes and operating deflected shapes (ODS)
The Company to offer this particular 3-D scanning laser vibrometer system must also be willing to accept a trading-in of competitive brand of scanning laser systems toward the purchase of a new system. The Contractor is responsible for receiving the Government owned PSW-400-H4 system, installing and checking out the upgraded hardware and software; and providing training to approximately ten (10) people on the new system for two (2) days at the Government site.
Firms responding should indicate whether they are a large or small business. If a small business, please specify the type (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), SDB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.). The general definition of a small business is one that is independently owned and operated, is not dominant in the field of operation in which it is proposing on Air Force contracts and with its affiliates; and the average number of employees does not exceed 500. NAICS Code to be used for this acquisition is 334516 "Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing". The Air Force reserves the right to consider a set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent acquisition. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/Foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. FOB Destination. Payment terms by Wide Area Work Flow Acceptance. Net 30 days.
Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. The Air Force does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or to otherwise pay for the information solicited. Respondents should not construe this synopsis as a commitment by the Air Force for any purpose. Respondents will not individually be notified of the results of any government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), SDB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.).
Capabilities package: All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities and product/service specifications related to this effort.
