Scope: Federal

SCOPE I.

Minimum Performance Requirements/Salient Characteristics Salient Characteristics The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the tasks and deliverables described in this statement of work, including the hardware system requirements which are the minimum requirements.

Equivalent requirements that differ from these minimum requirements must be justified by the proposing vendor and evaluated by the NFCC prior to purchase.

1.0 General Requirement The National Forensic Chemistry Center (NFCC) requires a Bruker Alicona InfiniteFocus G6 (IFM G6) optical 3D measurement system.

This non-contact, optical 3D imaging and measurement system will be used by NFCC's Trace Examination Section (TES) for surface profilometry and difference analysis measurements, including tablet debossing, punch face embossing, surface abrasion, pit measurements, corroded surface analysis, and pharmaceutical packaging topography and print profiling.

The system must expand analytical throughput to meet increasing demand for forensic 3D image analysis from law enforcement stakeholders.

2.0 Core Technology and Measurement Principle 2.1 The system shall be based on the principle of Focus Variation Microscopy (FVM), utilizing Bruker Alicona's proprietary Focus Variation algorithms to reconstruct high-resolution 3D surfaces.

2.2 The system must include advanced illumination technology (e.g., ring light, coaxial light) to enable accurate measurement of surfaces with steep angles, up to and exceeding 85 degrees.

2.3 The system must be capable of measuring both form and surface roughness parameters in a single measurement, with all data being co-registered.

2.4 The system must have the ability to measure highly reflective materials without surface treatment.

The system must be capable of acqu...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
