This notice is issued by The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, located in Menlo Park, California. We are soliciting responses from interested parties to provide all personnel, materials, equipment, facilities and services required to complete engineering, design, documentation, fabrication, assembly, installation and acceptance testing of the sample goniometer system. The LCLS-LUSI XPP sample goniometer will be used to precisely control the physical location and orientation of a sample. The nature of the LCLS-LUSI machine requires an extraordinary level of flexibility and accuracy from the diffractometer system. The diffractometer consists of two major components, the sample goniometer (subject of this document) and the detector mover. The sample goniometer must have the ability to position the sample within two widely separated interaction point regions. Two different goniometer configurations (sample translation and - Kappa) are required to accommodate a wide range of experimental objectives. The system must incorporate features to enable the use of future sample vacuum environments, cryostat or cyrostream. Features to accommodate alignment fixtures for sample goniometer and detector mover must be integral to the overall design to achieve desired levels of accuracy. Goniometer design must enable rapid reconfiguration to maximize science output. Vendors interested in performing this requirement are invited to provide the following information to SLAC Purchasing Office no later than 21 January 2009. The information may be submitted via email to the Contract Administrator at
contact@example.gov or faxed to
+1 (555) 000-0000. Responses shall include the following information: Reference number XPP-BIS-142116, Company name, DUNS Number, address, point of contact, phone number and email address; business size, disadvantage, 8(a), or HUBzone status; and , Evidence that the contractor has performed similar projects (past performance history). NO TELEPHONE OR WRITTEN REQUESTS FOR SOLICITATIONS OR POSTING STATUS. This posting is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as commitment by SLAC nor will SLAC pay for information solicited. No basis for claim against SLAC shall arise as a result from a response to the Sources Sought or SLAC use of any information provided. SLAC reserves the right to consider a small business, 8(a) or any other set aside arrangement as deemed appropriate for this procurement.
