- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake, CA intends to enter into negotiations for a firm fixed price contract, on an other than full and open competition basis with Olympus Industrial America, One Corporate Drive Orangeburg, NY for a quantity of one (1) LEXT OLS3000 Confocal Scanning Microscope. The LEXT OLS3000 will complement an existing Olympus BX60M optical microscope. The new confocal microscope shall be compatible with existing accessories that are used to record and document the surfaces of optical substrates used for high energy laser windows and mirrors, missile domes, near-infrared waveguides and electro-ceramic materials. The existing accessories include the long-working-distance objectives, three-color-analog-CCD camera and camera adapter and Olympus video-recording hardware and printer. The confocal Scanning Microscope will be used to look at and document the optical surfaces of windows, mirrors and optical coatings fabricate! d for a variety of programs. The LEXT OLS3000 confocal Scanning microscope combines advanced laser confocal microscopy operating at a wavelength of 408 nanometers with conventional light microscopy (brightfield, darkfield and differential interference contrast (DIC) modes). This combination provides superior resolution with true color imaging at magnifications up to 14,000X. The LEXT-OLS3000 specification include (1) Confocal laser scan unit that consists of laser scan unit, control unit, motorized 5-position nosepiece, and the following darkfield/brightfield objectives: UMPLFL5XBD, UMPLFL10XBD, UMPLFL20XBD, MPLAP050XBD and MPLA0100XBD, (2) Manual Stage 100 X 100 MM movement (3) Rotatable Wafer Holder, (4) controller and video capture system. (5) 19 inch LCD monitor with 1280 x 1040 pixel resolution, (6) SOFT-U controller, (7) Anti-Vibration Platform, (8) Fiber-optic light source, (9) 3-prong power cord, (10) 12 volt, 100 Watt Halogen light bulb, (11) flexible light guide! , (12) Neutral Density Filter, (13) Rotatable analyzer, (14) Polarizer Slider with lock, (15) Nomarski Prism Slider, (16) 12.5 Mega pixel, cooled digital camera, (17) digital camera adapter, (18) C-mount digital camera adapter, (19) Image analysis software and Discover Semiconductor Five add on capability for item 19. Delivery of the items is FOB destination to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division China Lake, CA 90 days after receipt of order. Award will be issued under the authority of the test program for commercial items (FAR 13.5). This requirement is limited to Olympus Industrial America Inc. because The LEXT OLS3000 is the only confocal microscope to offer a DIC mode. The confocal DIC mode is very important to resolve and document nanometer-size imperfections on the super smooth surfaces needed for high-energy laser windows and mirrors. Any firm believing they can provide a confocal scanning microscope may submit a written response to be received at the Cont! racting Office no later than 15 days after this notification is published. Responses shall provide documentation to include brochures and/or literature that show they can meet the requirements stated in the synopsis. All requests must reference RFQ Number N68936-05-T-0103. These responses shall be submitted in writing to Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 254100D, Attn: Gayle Cline, 429 E. Bowen Rd- Stop 4015, China Lake, CA 93555-6108. Questions may be addressed to Gayle Cline (760) 939-8109 or via e-mail at gayle.cline@navy.mil. NAICS Code =333314 Place of Performance = N/A Set Aside Default = N/A
