High-Precision Robotic Motion Control Hardware

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center requires high‑precision robotic motion‑control hardware to support its science missions. The agency intends to award a sole‑source contract to Newport Corp for the supply of specific motion‑control components, with the government evaluating capability statements before deciding whether to open competition. The work consists of delivering and installing the listed hardware items at GSFC within a short performance window. • Required items: 2 × XPS‑DRV01 PWM drive modules, 12 × XPS‑DRV11 universal digital driver cards, and 2 × XPS‑D8 8‑axis motion controllers. • Performance: Deliver to GSFC and complete installation within 4 weeks after order receipt. • Procurement: Sole‑source under FAR 12.102(a); only capability statements accepted, no price quotes at this stage. • Evaluation: Capability statements reviewed to determine if a competitive procurement will be pursued.
