Dual Axis Digital AutocollimatorThe U.S. Air Force, through AFMETCAL at Heath, Ohio, is soliciting commercial off-the-shelf Dual Axis Digital Autocollimators (DADA) under a full and open competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the solicitation numbered FA226326Q0017. This is a firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under NAICS code 334516, with a business size standard of 1,000 employees. The anticipated requirement is for 39 units over five years, plus one optional year, though no guarantee is provided that all units will be ordered. All offered units must be new, meeting the exact specification of Purchase Description 26M-258A-OP Rev. 2 dated June 16, 2026, and must include an LCD display with PC interface controls—preferably a laptop if integrated, but must have output capability to communicate with an external PC. The device must achieve a range of at least ±500 arc-seconds, accuracy of ±0.5 arc-second or better within 8 feet, and repeatability of ±0.1 arc-second, and must be supplied with a rugged, waterproof, reusable shipping case featuring internal oil-resistant cushioning, a right-angle mirror with reference feet for surface flatness measurement, all necessary cabling, a user manual, and a minimum three-year manufacturer warranty covering hardware and firmware. The offeror must provide a complete technical proposal with a line-by-line response to the purchase description, a completed Total Evaluated Price Worksheet, a commercial price list, warranty documentation, and must comply with all representations and certifications, including SAM registration and submission of CAGE, DUNS, and TIN information.
