Statement of Requirements

3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center

I. Background The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) Office of Reference Materials (ORM) provides customers with Standard Reference Materials (SRMs), calibration services and Standard Reference Data. NIST supports accurate and comparable measurements by certifying and providing over 1,300 of the highest quality and metrological value SRMs to industry, academia, and government.

These materials can be used to perform instrument calibrations, as part of overall quality assurance programs, to verify the accuracy of specific measurements, and to support the development of new measurement methods. In order to produce SRMs, MML needs to ensure these are processed properly. The MML requires a 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center that shall permit precise, repeatable machining to ensure high-quality manufacturing, and sustainability with regards to tool set up, control software, and accuracy. The 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center will improve automation in the processing of NIST SRM materials to certified specifications as well as support to the ORM with capabilities to produce and manufacture supporting parts and components as needed.

II. Scope One (1) 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center that shall improve productivity, efficiency, and advance workplace technology regarding the processing of SRM materials.

III. Minimum Requirements All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment shall not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items shall not be considered. The use of “gray market” components not authorized for sale in the U.S. by the Contractor is not acceptable. All line items shall be shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging and include all original documentation and software, when applicable.

The Contractor shall provide one (1) 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center, Brand Name or Equal to the Haas TM2P with accessories that meets the following minimum specifications:

IV. Delivery Delivery shall be FOB Destination (or equivalent terms, such as INCOTERMS Delivered Duties Paid) and shall occur not later than (NLT) 90 days ARO.

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 all line items to:

National Institute of Standards and Technology Bldg. 301 Shipping and Receiving 100 Bureau Drive Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1640

V. Inspection A visual inspection of the 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center will be performed by NIST to identify surface defects or any form of indication that the 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine Center was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming componentry at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance may reject the 3- Axis Vertical Milling Machine due to defects and/or nonconformance.

The Contractor is responsible for latent defects discovered any time after final inspection.

However, the extent of its liability shall be prorated over the useful life of the equipment.

Ownership of the equipment shall transfer to NIST upon acceptance by the Government.

VI. Installation. Testing, and Acceptance The system shall be installed by the Contractor and meet minimum specifications no later than 30 days after delivery. Installation, at a minimum, shall include rigging, uncrating/unpackaging of all equipment, general set-up of the machine, final leveling of machine, test machine to operate within OEM specifications and removal of trash. Onsite installation, demonstration and training shall be done at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD in Building 202/Rm. 149.

The Government will inspect, test, and accept onsite within 7 business days after installation.

Contractor authorized personnel shall install the system and perform all activities necessary to ensure the system is fully functional and meets all required minimum specifications. The system shall operate according to OEM specifications upon completion of installation.

The installation shall occur during regular business hours, between 8:30AM and 5:00PM ET M-F except for Federal Holidays and shall be coordinated with the NIST Subject Matter Expert (SME).

VII. Warranty

The Contractor shall warrant that the instrument will operate within OEM specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship for at a minimum, a period of one (1) year.

The warranty shall cover all parts, labor and travel and shall commence upon successful completion of delivery, inspection, installation, training, and a demonstration that all required minimum specifications have been satisfied.
