Optical Table with Vibration Isolation System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks to procure an optical table with vibration isolation system to support newly acquired infrared laser equipment. Quotations are due by March 6, 2024 for a single line item to meet the technical specifications in the requirements document. Awards will be made to the responsible offeror with the lowest priced technically acceptable quotation evaluated based on technical capability and price reasonableness. A mandatory site visit will be held on February 28, 2024 to view the installation location and path.

There is no set-aside designation. The NAICS code is 334516, scientific instruments. The optical table system must consist of two honeycomb tables measuring 10 feet by 17 feet configurable into an inverted L-shape, with pneumatic isolation legs to isolate from floor vibrations between 1.8-2.9 Hz. Installation must be completed within three months of order receipt at the NIST facility in Building 217/E116 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The one year warranty period begins upon acceptance after on-site testing verifies the system meets the vibration and dimensional specifications.
