NO TELEPHONE OR FAX QUESTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Questions and Answers on RFP #N00421-02-R-3058 Q1. Does the user wish to measure the ?thickness? of the coating or do they wish to measure the ?reflectivity? of the coating, but as a function of angle? A1. We are not interested in measuring the thickness. Reflectivity as a function of angle is of interest. Q2. If they do want a diffuse hemispherical reflectance (specular included/excluded) capabilities what does this mean? There are many different accessories that could fit this application. However, diffuse hemispherical reflectance accessories do not cover the desired full range, usually only to 20 microns (500cm-1) A2. Please quote on whatever diffuse hemispherical reflectance accessory you provide and specify the useful range. Q3. Do they want a service/maintenance contract for 3 years after the one-year warranty or 2 years after the one-year warranty? A3. Please quote 2 option years for 12 months each, as warranty starts from effective date of delivery. **END OF SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION #N00421-20810289. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD has a requirement to procure a Spectrometer, 1-20 micron wavelength (min), variable angle and the associated software, reference and calibration standards, service, etc. to provide the capabilities to measure changes in infrared (NIR to Far IR) reflectivity, emissivity, and spectral emittance of thin (<0.25") coated metal and composite panels (approximately 3" x 6" in size). Our intent is to allow vendors latitude in selection of their components such that they will satisfy our measurement capability needs. Vendors must include specific directions on how their proposed system will provide the information we need. Alternatives to the following will be considered, but data output should be convertible into formats compatible with required MS Office test, spreadsheet, and presentation software packages. Optional items must be priced separately unless their use changes the system component configuration. Purchase of system plus optional items will depend on availability of funds. System Components: Infrared Instrument-Range - Near IR (~1.0 micron) to Far (~30 microns); measurement capabilities-infrared reflectivity, emissivity and spectral emittance (variable angle). Computer Accessories: 17" minimum LCD Flat Panel Display, ~0.26 dot pitch; DOS/Windows operating system; MS Office; CD writer; Zip drive, 100 MB minimum. Optional Accessories: Reflectance and emittance calibration standards; polarization capabilities; extended range capabilities; diffuse hemispherical reflectance (specular included/excluded) capabilities; spectral libraries. Maintenance: Warranty, Parts and Service, minimum 1 year. Optional Maintenance Contracts: Consisting of two12 month options. Inspection and acceptance shall be made at destination. The proposed action will be a firm-fixed price (FFP) contract. All changes to the solicitation shall be sent electronically to the FEDBIZOPS as amendments. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-06. This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a clause may be accessed electronically at this address: http://farsite.hill.af.mil.
