Leica Laser Tracking System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded this sole source acquisition to Hexagon Metrology Inc. on June 4, 2019 in the amount of $158,593.11.
Hexagon Metrology is the only source able to fulfill this requirement.
a. The NIST current metrology infrastructure is based on Leica Laser Tracker Technology by Hexagon Metrology.
b. The Leica Laser Tracker AT-960-MR is interchangeable with NIST's currently used Leica 901-MR and Leica 960 MR Systems.
c. Other laser tracker systems are not interchangeable with CTL's current Leica system by Hexagon Metrology.
d. Only Hexagon Metrology makes a six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) target that has no moving parts.
e. Only Hexagon Metrology makes a 6DOF target that has the ability to incorporate other sensores such as touch/trigger probes.
f. Only Hexagon Metrology makes a 6DOF target that uses photogammetry.
g. Only the Leica Laser Tracker systems by Hexagon Metrology allows the use of the T-Frame/T-Mac Leica 6DOF target which meets the technical and compatiblity requirments for NIST.
h. The ability for the laser tracker system to work seamlessly with the current NIST T-Fram/T-Mac Leica 6DOF targets and other NIST Leica tracker systems is paramount for NIST's contorl and of industrial robots for which this laser tracker will be used for and the safety of personnel and equipment that will be in proximity to these robots..
