- Description
- This notice is issued to provide answers/questions and is provided as amendment 0002 to CSS #W9124R-08-T-1090. The closing date remains the same. Q1. Is this a Flash X-ray or NDT Radiographic application? A1. Primary application for the CDAS system: The primary application for this system will be used for Flash X-ray. Processing of NDT data is a secondary application. Both applications require and use NDT terminology. Q2. &we do have a discrete Access data base built into the software that addresses most X-ray application. Is this acceptable? A2. The software must meet or exceed the specifications of Rhythm software in order to meet specifications. Microsoft Access data base software is not an acceptable alternative. In addition, the imaging software must meet the specification requirement of producing a 16 bit image. Q3. In Section 4.0 Description of Work you state the IP shall have verified particle size of 11 microns and a max of 19 microns. This requirement is not consistent with currently available CR technologies. A3. The 11 micron to 19 micron size is required for Flash X-ray ballistic testing applications. These specifications are consistent with the specifications of the GEIT IPC2 Imaging plates currently available. Q4. We have done particle bench testing on the scanner and it will not produce more than 11 bits of grayscale image. Is this a problem? A4. It is understood that the GEIT CR 100 is a Kodak product. The specifications of the scanner/reader require a minimum of 12 bit scanning capability, which is consistent with the GEIT CR100E Scanner/Reader. The imaging software must be capable of converting the 12 bit scanned image to a 16 bit image. The 2-1T military specification sensitivity requirement does not apply to flash x-ray ballistic test applications due to the destructive nature of the testing, the geometric unsharpness and velocity of the projectile. Q5. Would you consider reviewing pricing for both systems? A5. Multiple proposals will be accepted and evaluated separately.
