STATEMENT OF WORK/REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT

Title: Universal Robots UR8 Long Industrial Robotic Arm

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory (EL) conducts research to advance measurement science, standards, and technology that improve the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing and enhance the nation's industrial capabilities. The laboratory develops and evaluates advanced manufacturing technologies, automation systems, robotics, and metrology solutions to improve the performance, interoperability, and reliability of modern manufacturing processes.

The Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) within the Engineering Laboratory performs research in robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent manufacturing. This work includes the development, integration, testing, and evaluation of robotic systems used for automated assembly, material handling, machine tending, and other manufacturing applications. The division's research supports the development of measurement methods, reference implementations, and best practices that enable greater adoption of advanced automation technologies across U.S. industry.

To support these research objectives, the Government requires a collaborative industrial robotic arm capable of performing precision manipulation and automated assembly tasks in a laboratory environment. The robotic system will be used to develop, test, and validate robotic applications involving automated screwdriving, part handling, end-of-arm tooling integration, and manufacturing process automation. The platform must support the integration of compatible grippers, sensors, software, and peripheral devices to facilitate research involving robot programming, system interoperability, and advanced manufacturing workflows.

The acquisition of a Universal Robots UR8 Long Industrial Robotic Arm, or an equivalent system meeting the Government's technical requirements, will provide the laboratory with a modern, flexible, and collaborative automation platform capable of supporting ongoing and future research, technology demonstrations, and standards development activities.

Purpose/Objective: The purpose of this requirement is to acquire a Universal Robots UR8 Long industrial collaborative robotic arm (or equivalent), including a compatible parallel gripper and the accessories necessary to support automated screwdriving operations. The UR8 Long is an extended-length, 6DOF collaborative industrial robot arm, which will be able to reach >1.5m and has an 8kg payload to lift assembled parts for inspection. The robotic arm is to support the NIST AI Accelerator project to enable the assembly and transport of printed circuit boards. The UR8L contains functionalities the AI Accelerator testbed is currently lacking and will enable larger part transfer across the entire workspace, automated screwdriving, and AI-based product inspection research.

VIII. Quote Evaluation

I. General

PAGE 13 OF 33 1333ND26QNB730488

An award shall be made to the offeror whose quotation is deemed technically acceptable and at the lowest priced. The Government will evaluate quotations based on the following evaluation criteria: Factor 1 - Technical, and Factor 2 - Price.

The Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order to the responsible quoter submitting the lowest-priced quotation that is determined to be technically acceptable. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Quotations determined to be technically acceptable will not be ranked or receive additional consideration for exceeding the Government's minimum requirements. Price will become the determining factor for award among all technically acceptable quotations

Upon receipt of Quotations, the Contracting Officer will review them to determine if each Quoter followed all of the Quotation preparation/submission instructions in this solicitation. A Quotation that did not follow the Quotation submission instructions to an extent that the Government cannot properly evaluate the Quotation in accordance with the stated evaluation factors may be deemed unacceptable and may not be further evaluated.

Factor 1 – Technical Acceptability

The Government will evaluate the quote to determine whether the proposed commercial product or system meets the requirements of the Solicitation. The evaluation will include, as applicable:

• Compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW) and solicitation requirements;

• Product specifications, literature, and supporting documentation;

• Warranty and maintenance information;

• Proposed delivery schedule and installation or performance testing, if applicable; and

The Government will assign one of the following ratings:

Acceptable: The quote demonstrates that the proposed product or system meets all solicitation requirements.

or Unacceptable: The quote fails to demonstrate compliance with one or more solicitation requirements. An Unacceptable quote is not eligible for award

Factor 2 – Price

The Government will evaluate price for reasonableness and completeness. The evaluation will consider:

• Pricing for all CLINs;

• Any options, if applicable;

• The published commercial price list or other commercial pricing documentation submitted with the quote; and

• Any discounts or other pricing adjustments identified by the Offeror.

PAGE 14 OF 33 1333ND26QNB730488

The Government may determine that a price is unreasonable if it is materially higher than prevailing commercial pricing or otherwise fails to represent a fair and reasonable price.
