Zygo Purchase

NASA intends to award a sole‑source contract to Zygo Corporation for an upgrade of an existing Zygo NewView optical profiler (6000 series) to the NewView 9000 series at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. The effort includes delivering hardware upgrades, peripheral kits, specialized lenses, on‑site labor, travel, and a post‑installation ISO‑17025 calibration certificate. All work must be performed by Zygo because of proprietary system knowledge and to avoid technical risk. • Upgrade replaces optical head, electronics, and adds 5‑axis motorized motion; existing gantry and platform are retained. • Includes hardware (optical head, camera, lenses), peripheral kit (monitor, keyboard, turret), travel, up to 16 hours of on‑site labor, and certification. • Period of performance is roughly 11‑14 weeks after order receipt (8‑10 weeks ARO plus 3‑4 weeks installation). • Sole‑source justification cites exclusive manufacturer capability; no other vendor can provide the required proprietary upgrade.
