AI Contract Overview
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy, is soliciting quotes for a Precision Six Axis Hexapod Positioning System. The requirement includes a miniature hexapod six-DOF positioning system, a hexapod drive, a motion development kit, an intelligent software-based motion controller, motor and feedback cables, and on-site startup assistance. Technical specifications are stringent, requiring vertical mounting, specific load center of mass and rotation coordinates, sub-micron linear accuracy, and high angular repeatability. The system must support EPICS and Python API software, provide active sensor feedback with PID control, and include a high-accuracy calibration package. This is a fixed-price procurement where source selection is based on the lowest price and best lead time, with quotes due by September 18, 2026. Bidders must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide a completed Representations and Certifications Supplement. Key compliance requirements include the Buy American Act for items over 15,000 USD, and the provision of HTS codes and ECCN numbers. Payment terms are NET-30, and shipping is FOB Destination Prepaid and Add for domestic suppliers or CIP SLAC for foreign suppliers. The resulting order will be governed by SLAC's Fixed Price Commercial Supplies and Services Terms and Conditions and the associated Supplemental Rider.
