About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center has posted a Special Notice for the purchase and installation of a motorized autofocus stage to upgrade the OCF F40-UVX microscope at the NASA Ames Research Center. NASA intends to award a sole source contract to FILMETRICS INC. under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as the sole provider of the required upgrade.
The purpose of this upgrade is to enable more accurate measurements of the optical constants of organic refractory materials, which are critical inputs for models used to interpret observational data from NASA missions. The motorized autofocus stage will allow for precise, focused normal incidence reflectance spectra measurements from 0.19 to 1.7 mm, enabling the calculation of optical constants using a Cauchy model. These optical constants will also be used to constrain the calculation of optical constants in the near-infrared to far-infrared range using the OCF Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to the identified point of contact by 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on May 28, 2024, for the government to determine whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 for commercial items and services, with a NAICS code of 334513.
