STATEMENT OF WORK

Optical Tables with Vibration Isolation

I. BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/Material Measurement Laboratory/ Chemical Sciences Division/Optical Measurements Group designs highly sensitive instrumentation for ultra-trace gas detection in the mid and near-infrared. Recently, the gas sensing metrology group has focused on spectroscopy using optical cavities and optical frequency combs. To expand the optical capabilities of the growing laboratory, an additional four

(4) Optical Tables with Vibration Isolation are required.

II. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Delivery shall be made within 12 weeks of award.

III. SPECIFICATIONS

Contractor shall provide four (4) Optical Tables with Vibration Isolation that meets the following minimum technical requirements and have them installed at the locations directed by the TPOC.

Installation must be completed at the time of delivery.

• Optical table with vibration isolation shall consist of one optical breadboard tabletop and four support legs with active vibrational isolation.

• To facilitate delivery and installation, optical breadboard tabletop may be shipped as either one or two sections. If shipped as two sections, the two sections must be joined at NIST to form a continuous single optical breadboard tabletop meeting all minimum specifications.

• One of the optical breadboard tabletops shall be 4 feet wide, 10 feet long, and 1 foot thick (48” x 120” x 12”).

• Three of the optical breadboard tabletops shall be 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 1 foot thick (48” x 96” x 12”).

• Optical breadboard tabletop shall have 1/4”-20 threaded holes spaced by a center-to-center distance of 1 inch.

• Optical breadboard tabletop shall have a hole-free boarder region around the edge of the optical breadboard tabletop with boarder width less than or equal to 2 inches.

• Optical breadboard tabletop shall have top and bottom plates constructed of stainless steel.

• Top and bottom plates shall be 5 mm thick with a tolerance of plus or minus 2 mm.

• Optical breadboard tabletop shall have top and bottom plates constructed of ferromagnetic metal material (e.g., stainless steel).

• Optical breadboard tabletop shall be supported by four active vibration isolation legs.

• Active vibration isolation legs shall have a height of 18.625 inches (473 mm) within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.4 inches (10 mm).

• Active vibration isolation of each leg shall be performed by pressurized air or pressurized nitrogen (pressurized gas source not provided by contractor).

• The working height of the optical table with vibration isolation shall be 30.625 inches within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.4 inches (10 mm).

IV. WARRANTY

The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a one-year warranty for the equipment. The warranty shall cover all parts, labor and travel. The warranty period shall commence upon successful completion of delivery and government acceptance.
