STATEMENT OF WORK

TITLE: National Instrument Digitizer Board

LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Material Measurement Laboratory, Chemical Sciences Division, Optical Measurements Group

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Materials Measurement Laboratory’s (MML) Chemical Sciences Division, Optical Measurements Group conducts work with an analog-to-digital converter (or digitizer) required to record signals from an optical photodiode following a transimpedance amplifier. These signals consist of exponential decay curves which must be recorded on the digitizer and then analyzed using a personal computer. These curves must be recorded with high accuracy and fidelity on both the time and amplitude axes, as non-linearity in the digitization of these curves leads to error retrieved decay constants.

An analog-to-digital converter (or digitizer) is required to record signals from an optical photodiode following a transimpedance amplifier. These signals consist of exponential decay curves which must be recorded on the digitizer and then analyzed using a personal computer. These curves must be recorded with high accuracy and fidelity on both the time and amplitude axes, as non-linearity in the digitization of these curves leads to error retrieved decay constants. For that reason, we are seeking to purchase four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizers as this board has been thoroughly studied and recognized as a metrology grade digitizer in the literature.

II. SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizer boards with at least 8 MB/ch onboard memory.

Only new instruments will be considered with sufficient warranty (at least 6 months). The four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizer board shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements 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 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.

1.0 Hardware

The hardware will consist of four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizer boards.

The specifications define this unit to be a digitizer board.

Warranty:

The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a six month warranty for the equipment. The warranty shall cover all parts, labor and travel. The warranty shall commence upon successful completion of delivery, installation, training and demonstration of all required specifications.

IV. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

All work shall be completed at the Contractor’s facility. Installation of the instrument shall be accomplished by the Technical Point of Contact at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Normal duty hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with the exception of Federal holidays.

V. DELIVERABLES

Description Quantity Due Date

National Instruments Digitizer Board:

PCI-5922 4 20 weeks after award of this requirement.

Delivery shall be FOB Destination (or equivalent terms, such as INCOTERMS Delivered Duties Paid)

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 task 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 task 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

VI. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT SUMMARY

The Contractor shall demonstrate that all performance standards in this statement of work have been met.

VII. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

In addition to the inspection and acceptance terms articulated in FAR 52.212-4, the Government reserves the right to perform performance tests and evaluations as defined below to verify specified four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 (Part Number: 779659-01) digitizer board performance. Such tests and evaluations, if performed, shall be conducted within the environment that the four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizer boards are to be operated. The Contractor has the right to be present during the tests and evaluations, if performed, at the Contractor’s expense.

The Government will test, inspect, and accept onsite within 7 business days of the receipt of the digitizer boards. A visual inspection of the digitizer boards will be performed by the NIST Technical Point of Contact (TPoC) to identify surface defects or any form of indication that the digitizer boards were 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 four (4) National Instruments PCI-5922 digitizer boards due to defects and/or nonconformance.

VIII. RISK ASSESSMENT

The HSPD-12 Security Risk Level assigned to this Task Order is: Low

IX. GENERAL INFORMATION

Patent Rights: The Government retains a Government use license to all inventions arising from this work.

Media Inquiries: The Contractor employee shall not respond to any media inquiries. Any inquiries from the media shall be immediately relayed to the TPOC, COR, and/or CO. There shall be no interviews, comments, or any other response without the knowledge and approval of the NIST Director.
