Below you will find a list of question sets submitted by vendors along with the Government-s responses.

Question-set 1: Cryostat support structure

We request NIST provides:

a sketch/drawing of the linear guide carriages with indicative dimensionsGovt Response: The exact dimensions of the carriages will be decided after award in discussion with the vendor.

confirmation of the anticipated acceleration / velocity of the guide carriage when moving the carriageGovt Response: The magnet will be moved manually at low speed, similar to a sliding door in a de-energized state, as such there is no exact acceleration/velocity.

confirmation whether the magnet will be energised or de-energised during movement on the carriageGovt Response: The magnet will be de-energized during movement.

what ferromagnetic materials are in close proximity to the magnet so we can ensure the magnet and magnet-support structure can withstand external forcesGovt Response: The magnet will be in close proximity to an optical table with mounting hardware for optical components.

confirmation the carriage will be securely locked in position after movementGovt Response: There will be end stops on the rails. Ideally one or more locking screws will be part of the support structure.



Question-set 2: Options to assist NIST assessment

The SOW appears to indicate exceeding several requirements will be looked upon favourably. To avoid an excessive number of options being generated, please confirm:
