Requirements Document BMF Laser Endpoints

1. Background Information:

NIST-Boulder has a state-of-the-art research laboratory (the Katharine Blodgett Gebbie Building) to support the most sensitive research done at NIST. Included in this building is a Class 100 microelectronics fabrication facility, called the Boulder Micro-Fabrication Facility (BMF). The BMF currently has 4 systems that use a Horiba LEM series endpoint system to determine when the process is completed. The Horiba LEM units have failed, and the Government requires 4 new Horiba LEM series units. The Horiba LEM series units are integrated into the systems through hardware and software, so drop-in compatible units are required.

2. Scope of Work:

The goal of this contract is to provide the Government with four (4) new Brand Name Only Horiba LEM series units required for the processing tools in the BMF via providing a quantity four (4) factory new Horiba LEM series units.

3. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide a system that meets all technical specifications identified below. All items must be new. Used or remanufactured equipment will not be considered for award. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be considered. The use of “gray market” components are 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.

i. The contractor shall supply the Government with:

1. Quantity four (4) Horiba part number LEM G50 endpoint units that meet the following specifications. The units shall:

a. Be drop-in compatible with the Government’s existing four Horiba LEM G50 endpoint units. This includes but is not limited to all existing mounting hardware, existing interface cables, and existing interface software.

b. Include an interference measurement system that includes a laser source, a light receiver, optical components, an illumination system, and a CCD camera.

c. Light Source: Laser Diode

d. Light Source: 670 nm

e. Magnification: 50x

f. Able to be powered by 24 V DC.

g. The contractor shall be licensed to sell Horiba LEM G50 endpoint units.

4. DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery shall be F.O.B Destination and shall occur in accordance with 20 weeks 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 Shipping and Receiving Building 81, room 1B100.

325 Broadway Boulder, CO Gaithersburg, MD 20899

5. INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform such performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified system performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the system is to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

Performance Tests:

1. List performance tests here

NIST may choose at its discretion to forego this part of acceptance testing.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be performed by the NIST TPOC to identify surface defects or any form of indication that any equipment was damaged during transport to NIST. The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The Government at any time prior to acceptance shall reject the equipment due to defects and/or nonconformance. The vendor 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.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept or reject the equipment within (insert working days it will take to inspect, accept or reject) of the receipt of the equipment unless otherwise indicated above. The Government reserves the right to conduct quality assurance testing to confirm that a given instrument(s) meets the manufacturer’s and/or the Government’s performance specifications. It is anticipated that the equipment will meet all manufacturer’s specifications and/or the Government’s performance specifications identified in the most recent operations and maintenance manual for each piece of equipment and/or in this document.

6. WARRANTY

The contractor shall warranty the entire system for a period of a minimum of one (1) year after acceptance of the equipment and shall be in accordance with terms in FAR 52.212-4. Warranty shall commence upon acceptance of the system by the Government.

7. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Advance payment is not authorized. The Contractor must invoice in arrears according to the payment schedule. The Contractor shall be paid, in accordance with Net 30-day payment terms, upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice, in accordance with the following schedule:

1. 100% after installation and acceptance by the TPOC of fully installed system, AND

1. After the successful completion of the testing requirements set forth in this document under section set forth in this document, AND

1. After successful demonstration by the instrumentation that it performs IAW the technical requirements set forth in this document AND

1. After receiving an invoice submitted properly, IAW the purchase order terms and conditions.
