- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for a 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING FLASH LIDAR SYSTEM that includes an integrated hybrid Focal Plane Array (FPA) detector and Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC), a transmitter laser, transmit and receive optical system, image acquisition processor, display software and hardware, and a liquid circulating chiller for operation in high-temperature environments. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS, 305 E HALEY ST, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101. In a previous COMPETITION, NASA Langley acquired a Flash Lidar from Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc optimized for HDA function. This system is currently being prepared for a demonstration test from a low flying helicopter. The main difference between a Flash Lidar optimized for medium range hazard detection and avoidance function (we refer to as HDA Lidar) and the one optimized for long range Terrain Relative Navigation (we refer to as TRN Lidar) is the field of view of the transmit/receive optics. For the HDA lidar, the field of view is wide and all the focal plane array pixels are used. While for the TRN Lidar, the field of view is narrowed and a fraction of the focal plane array pixels are used in order to increase the lidar operational range. The purpose of this procurement is to obtain a similar Flash Lidar with the necessary modification for performing the TRN function. This second unit will be tested by an aircraft flight test. Future plans include integration of the two HDA and TRN functions into a single lidar system. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on February 13, 2008. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
