- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulations (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, N00173-04-R-CR03, is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through FAC 2001-23 and DFARS Change Notice 20040513. The associated small business size standard is 750 employees. NRL has a requirement for one each digital infrared camera system (CLIN 0001) to perform radiometric measurements in both laboratory and field-site environments. The system will be used to conduct radiant intensity measurements of a target within the field of view (FOV) of the camera in contrast to the background intensity. The system must operate over a wide dynamic range to include measurements of constant target intensities (e.g. ships, aircraft) as well as the rapidly changing signatures of other devices such as decoys. In addition, the system will be used to conduct obscuration measurements. The Contractor must provide a standard commercial warranty and associated operating manuals. The basic system minimum requirements are as follows: 1. The system must include a 14 bit midwave infrared (MWIR) focal plane array (FPA) sensor to cover at least the 2 through 5 micron band with a minimum of 320x256 pixel resolution and must not require liquid nitrogen cooling. 2. The system must have the capability to be calibrated and traceable to a blackbody reference. 3. The system must be able to provide real-time imaging, which is defined for these purposes, as a continuous display of the digital image as the image is collected so that moving objects in the scene can be tracked. 4. The system must be portable and reasonably rugged to withstand use in the field for off-site testing. The system must be able to store at least 30 minutes of data or more and the data must have the capability to be transferred from the system via a CD writer. The system must have at least one of the following: USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 or ethernet port. The system must also have an additional analog video output (e.g. NTSC). 5. The system must include a MWIR lens to provide a 3 degree field of view (FOV) or less and at least one of the following: 7 degree FOV (within plus or minus 20 percent) or 20 degree FOV (within plus or minus 30 percent). 6. The system must include image analysis software. The software must support direct contrast radiant intensity measurements of both stationary and moving objects within the collected image or the system must be able to output the digital data in a format compatible with Microsoft Excel or in a common format that can easily converted for use with software such as a binary file format or asynchronous serial communications interface (ASCI) format. 7. System must include a near infrared (NIR) FPA sensor head spectral range of at least 0.9 to 1.7 microns. The FPA must have a minimum pixel resolution of 320x256. The NIR sensor may be interchangeable with the MWIR sensor. The sensor is not required to conduct simultaneous NIR and MWIR measurements. (CLIN 0002) Option I: Identical specifications as (CLIN 0001) however, replace number 1 with the following: The system must include a 14 bit midwave infrared (MWIR) focal plane array (FPA) sensor to cover at least the 2-5 micron band with a minimum of 640x512 pixel resolution and must not require liquid nitrogen cooling. (CLIN 0003) Option II: One each filter wheel for MWIR, must be compatible with the MWIR sensor offered for CLIN 0001. (CLIN 0004) Option III: One each filter wheel for MWIR, must be compatible with the MWIR sensor offered for CLIN 0002. Delivery and acceptance is at NRL, Washington, D.C. 20375, FOB Destination. Delivery shall be no later than ninety (90) days from date of award. Delivery of optional items will be determined at time of option exercise, if exercised. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors--Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation--Commercial Items is incorporated. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to that responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate the offers: 1. Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; 2. price; and 3. past performance. Technical and past performances, when combined, are more important than price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement (FAR 52.217-5). The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The Government reserves the right to exercise any or all options at time of contract award. The options may be exercised by the Contracting Officer giving written notice any time prior to contract completion. Offeror must complete and submit with its proposal, FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items and DFARs 252.212-7000 Offeror Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items, which are identified as B and available electronically at: http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/reps&certs.htm The clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items and FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders--Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.
