COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Announcement Type : Special Notice Announcement Number: NIST-SSN-NOI-26-7301009 Subject: Galvanometer Scanner System Applicable NAICS: 333310 - Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees Applicable PSC: 6650 – Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories Purpose This is a combined sources sought notice and notice of intent to sole source, not a request for a quotation. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the essential requirements included in the “Description” section below. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis with ScanLab America Inc. (UEI: M948RRXD2JN6), located at 100 Illinois Street Suite 200 Saint Charles, IL 60174. This action will be conducted under the authority of FAR RFO Part 12.102(a) and 41 USC 1901, allowing the Contracting Officer (CO) to solicit from one source. Delivery will be required within sixteen weeks after contractor receipt of order. Description The Contractor shall provide one galvanometer scanner system which meets the minimum requirements identified below. Galvo acceleration >= 160,000 rad/s^2 Galvo speed > 2000 mm/s. Control interface: digital, XY2-100 or SL2-100 equivalent. Positioning resolution >= 20 bits. Repeatability (RMS) < 0.4 &mu;rad Position encoder: digital Maximum allowed average laser power: 1000 W Dynamic focusing unit to positioning laser focus along the optical z axis F-theta lenses to focus a laser beam onto a planar image plane Camera adapter for coaxial imaging PC interface board and software Background The Production Systems Group (PSG) at NIST conducts research in metals-based additive manufacturing (AM) to advance measurement science that enables rapid and reliable design-to-product transformation. In support of U.S. manufacturers and the broader advanced manufacturing community, NIST has developed unique research infrastructure, including the Laser Processing and Metrology Testbed (LPDT). The LPDT is a continuously evolving research platform designed to implement cutting-edge measurement science by integrating a laser-based metal AM system with high-energy synchrotron X-ray facilities. These facilities enable in-situ diffraction and imaging measurements, providing direct insight into material behavior under the complex thermal fields generated by synchronized, multi-laser processing. The primary research objectives of the LPDT are to investigate the relationships among metal microstructure evolution, internal and surface temperature fields, advanced laser system control strategies, and emerging in-situ measurement technologies. The LPDT currently operates with a single ScanLab scanner. An additional, identical ScanLab scanner …
