- 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, N00173-06-R-DB03, is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through FAC 2005-08 and DFARS Change Notice 20051220. The associated small business size standard is 541710 and 500 employees. The Optical Science Division of the Naval Research Laboratory requires four small pitch, large format, short wavelength infrared focal plane arrays for high-resolution daytime and low light level video sensors, and daytime hyper-spectral imaging sensors that it is building. CLIN 0001: One (1) Lot consisting of four (4) focal plane arrays. Specification for Short Wave Infrared Imaging Arrays; 1280 x 1024 Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) focal plane array, Unit cell size: 20 microns square, Spectral Response: 0.9-1.7 micron spectral band, Average quantum efficiency: greater than 70 percent. Response operability: Class A: greater than 99.4 percent, Class B: greater than 99 percent, and Operable pixel defined to be R greater than 0.5 response mean. Response uniformity: less than 10 percent sigma/mean at 50 percent average well filling, Response Linearity: less than plus or minus 2 percent deviation from linear over 80 percent of the dynamic range in the high gain mode. Integration mode: Snapshot. Variable integration time: 30 microsec to 30 millisec. Gain modes:High gain greater than 30 microVolt/electron, Greater than 70000 well capacity, Less than 50 electron noise floor at 240K operating temperature, Low gain greater than 400 nV/electron gain, Greater than 2.0E06 well capacity, and Less than 1200 electron noise floor at 240K operating temperature. Windowing: Windowing by row, with start and stop row selectable in 32 row increments. At least 32 non contiguous segments selectable. Frame rate: Class B units: 1280x1024 frame utilizing 4 outputs: at least 30 Hz, and Class A units: 1280 x 512 window utilizing 8 outputs, at least 110 Hz. Output voltage swing: At least 2.3 volt starvation to saturation, Pixel clock: Operation compatible with 11 MHz, and Serial interface control for the following functions: Read frame, Start integrate, Set integration time, Set integration mode, and Set output mode. Packaging: Class B operability units: Two (2) each in 124 pin leadless chip carrier suitable for subsequent integration in TE cooled laboratory style dewar. And Two (2) each Class A operability units: Packaging suitable for long term laboratory storage and subsequent integration in tactical dewar assembly. The contractor shall provide specifications, operational documents, or interface control documents containing sufficient detail to allow design and fabrication of electronics to operate the arrays. The contractor shall supply 1 readout circuit of the same type used in the delivered focal planes in a 124 pin leadless chip carrier to support design and trouble-shooting of the control electronics. CLIN 0002, 80 Hours Engineering support: The contractor shall supply, as needed, up to 80 man-hours of engineering consultation in support of NRL?s electronics development. Upon completion the contract will be modified to reflect the actual hours expended. Delivery and acceptance is at NRL, Washington, D.C. 20375, FOB Destination. The contractor shall deliver the spectrometer no later than one hundred eighty (150) days after contract award.
