Attachment 2 Objective and Optimechanical hardware list 1.1.xlsx

This is an optomechanical hardware and specialized tools bill of materials for a federal solicitation related to vacuum-compatible reflective microscope objectives and associated equipment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Department of Commerce is seeking the supply of a comprehensive array of optomechanical components, all specified to be vacuum-compatible where applicable.

The primary requirement is four units of a Thorlabs LMM15X-UVV-VAC or equivalent vacuum-compatible reflective objective (line item LIN 0001). Supporting this objective are numerous vacuum-compatible optomechanical components including lens tubes in three sizes (0.3", 0.5", and 1" lengths), SMA fiber adapters, lens tube mounts, optical posts in multiple heights (1", 1.5", and 2"), mirror mounts in two sizes, XY manipulators, post holders, L-clamps, and optical bases—with quantities ranging from 3 to 10 units per component. Additionally, the solicitation specifies specialized tools and fasteners (line item LIN 0003) required for assembly and maintenance, including vented setscrews and capscrews in various sizes, an imperial thread adapter kit, spanners for lens tubes, an SMA tap, a benchtop organizer, and a ball driver kit. The bill of materials emphasizes equivalency, allowing contractors to propose alternative products meeting the same functional specifications as the Thorlabs components listed.
