    Description

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is seeking a sole-source procurement for the Pinpoint Laser Systems laser alignment system, specifically the Microgage PRO Plus - Standard Dual Axis Transceiver Alignment Kit. This high-precision kit is essential for achieving angular alignment with a measurement accuracy of 2.5 microns, and it includes critical components such as a Laser Transceiver, Display Unit, and proprietary Capture software for real-time data tracking. The unique capabilities of this system are vital for NASA's planned experiments, as alternative systems would not meet the necessary measurement tolerances. Interested vendors, specifically authorized resellers, should contact Stephanie Graham at Stephanie.n.Graham@nasa.gov for further details, with delivery required six weeks after receipt of the order.

    The government is seeking a vendor to supply a Microgage PRO Plus - Standard Dual Axis Transceiver Alignment Kit. This kit must include a Laser Transceiver, Display Unit, built-in dual-axis digital receiver, Adjustable Receiver Mount, Magnetic On/Off Mount, Capture Software, Computer USB Interface Cable, Charger/Power Supply, and a Case. Key specifications for the kit include a position measurement accuracy of 2.5 microns and beam/receiver positional drift of less than 5 microns over extended measurement periods. The Capture software must directly interface with the transceiver hardware to provide real-time numerical position data, deviation tracking, and logged measurement outputs. Delivery of the kit is required six weeks after receipt of the order.
    The NASA Shared Services Center recommends a sole-source negotiation for a high-precision laser alignment system, specifically the Pinpoint Laser Systems Microgage Transceiver. This recommendation is based on the unique characteristics of the system, which is the only one capable of measuring angular alignment to the required tolerances, offering 2.5 micron accuracy, limiting cosine error and positional drift, and featuring proprietary measurement software for real-time data and documentation. The justification states that using any other vendor or brand would make planned experiments impossible due to reduced measurement tolerances.
