The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head (NSWC IHD) is looking to procure a positioning system/manipulator for two (2) Linear Accelerator X-ray heads, replacing an existing 6 MeV Linear accelerator with a new 6 MeV Linear Accelerator, and a break-over fixture that upends a rocket motor from horizontal to vertical for imaging.

The Contractor shall design and manufacture a manipulator for two (2) each Varex Linatrons, providing precise positional control in all three (3) axes plus tilt. Additionally, a new Varex M6A Linatron shall be provided and installed.

The contract requirement is an integrated computer control system that operates all the manipulators via one computer-controlled interface. Shall include full computer control of the DDA, Rocket Motor, and Linatron Manipulators, thus allowing for Computed Tomography and digital radiography. This shall include integration of a Government-owned Troyke rotary table currently installed on the rocket motor manipulator.

The Government cannot provide any installation or support equipment for this contract. On-site work that requires any equipment or material must be sourced by the vendor.

It is requested that interested businesses submit a brief capabilities statement (no more than 10 pages in length, 12-point font minimum) demonstrating ability to perform the services listed above.
