Question 1:

The SOW states ” X-ray optic tilt axis must be computer controllable through Labview interface.” Can you specify with how much it should be able to tilt (degrees)? Also, is it enough that e.g. stepper motor controllers in principle are controllable through LabView or must fully automatic tilt algorithms be developed where the tilt is adjusted while the optics remain aligned to the X-ray source?

Response 1:

The X-ray optic tilt axis range is whatever range is required for function and alignment of the specific supplied optics. The motor must be controllable by NIST’s Labview program and the vendor must supply instructions for interfacing the motor controller with Labview (see modified SOW).

Question 2:

Does “Intensity must be stable with less than or equal to 5% drift over 24 hrs.” refer to intensity in the focus after the optics?

Response 2:

The intensity is at the focus after the optics (see modified SOW).

Question 3:

Does “Apparent source position must be stable to within +/- 20 um in 24 hrs.” refer to in the focus after the optics?

Response 3:

The position is the position of the beam at the focus after the optics (see modified SOW).

Question 4:

If vendors would like to give several options in their quotation on how to have the product configured, should vendors prepare several quotes – or can we give options in the same quote?

Response 4:

Vendors may submit multiple quotes to present multiple solutions.

Question 5:

Can vendors add more line items, to the quote, than the 7 you have listed?

Response 5:

No. Vendors shall provide pricing based off the line items provided in the solicitation.

Question 6:

Regarding the required submissions, are there any specific format vendors should follow (form or so) or is it up to vendors on how to structure quotes?

Response 6:

Vendors may follow the format suggested by the FAR provision 52.212-1 or the CAR provision 1352.215-70, or may submit a quote in the format of their choosing. Regardless of the format used, the quote should be logically organized and consistent within itself.

Descript: The purpose of this amendment is to post responses to contractor questions and incorporate an amended Statement of Work.
