This solicitation is issued unrestricted as Request for Proposal No. 2003-Q-00991. The NAICS code is 334516 with a size standard of 500 employees. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-14. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), has a requirement for 2 EACH of an Infrared Camera in accordance with the following specifications. Any deviations from the specifications listed above shall be clearly identified in a separate section of the proposal. DELIVERY time is desired within 30 days after receipt of order. Offerors shall propose based on a delivered price, F.O.B. Morgantown, WV. BACKGROUND: We will be measuring skin temperature on human subjects at certain events. This information will be used to see if the skin temperature shows changes at different locations which may correspond to increased activity of specified muscles. This may then be related to fatigue which would correspond to other physiological measurements such as heart rate. SPECIFICATIONS: Camera shall have: ? 0.2 degree resolution; ? around 0.5 degrees of thermometric accuracy at skin temperature; ? fire wire interface; ? externally controlled through interface and can be sent commands by a third party software; ? Accuracy maintained for extended period of operating time; ? Supplied with both LABview and OCX objects for full control and the ability to trigger and bring in thermometric readings (not just uncalibrated thermal images) into other software including LABview; ? Technical support available for Labview and OCX interfaces; ? Labview software should be easy to interface and provide for maximum flexibility and functionality of the system's capabilities; ? Wide angle lens of 40 degrees or more; ? Tripod mountable; AND ? Preferred characteristics: Have focal adjustment control via software and black body at 98 degrees for internal lab testing procedures. EVALUATION FACTORS: Offers will be evaluated to determine technical compliance with the specification. The Government reserves the right to consider all options and make award to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforming to this solicitation is considered most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. From discussions and documentation we have found that there are tradeoffs between flexibility and accuracy with some systems, therefore in evaluation, it may be considered advantageous to the government to select higher cost items, if such tradeoffs offer a wider range of control, accuracy, resolution, and/or flexibility.
