(iv) This acquisition is set-aside for small businesses. The associated NAICS code is 333314. The small business size standard is 500 employees. (v) The following is a list of contract line item number(s) and items, quantities and units of measure, (including option(s), if applicable): CLIN 0001: GROUND BASED HYPER SPECTRAL IMAGING SYSTEM; QTY: One (1) each. CLIN 0002: GROUND BASED VISIBLE THROUGH NEAR-INFRARED HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING CAMERA SYSTEM; QTY: One (1) each. Description of requirements: One (1) GROUND BASED HYPER SPECTRAL IMAGING SYSTEM for field use, which operates in the Short Wave Infrared region. Requirements: Weighs less than 35 pounds excluding carrying case, to allow for portability; Covers the spectral range from 900 nanometers to 1700 nanometers; Sensitivity (mean detectivity, D*) greater than 1.5x1013cmHz/W at 1550 nanometers, in order to provide the high sensitivity needed to collect hyper-spectral data in a wide variety of circumstances; Capability of recording hyper-spectral data with a spatial resolution of 512 or more pixels in both the x and y dimensions; Minimum field of view of 10 degrees; Spectral resolution of 6.5 nanometers or finer and at least 100 bands across the 900 to 1700 nanometer range; Spectral distortion of 1.5 microns or less, over its spectral range, from 900 nanometers to 1700 nanomet; Minimum dynamic range of 12 bits; Ability to collect accurate spectral information of targets moving in a scene. Systems that collect one spectral band per time sample, such as tunable filter based systems, are not acceptable for this application; Scan mirror and drive in the sensor head. System shall be self-contained (except for power) to enable system mobility and deployment flexibility; Camera-Link digital communication standard to download data to the recording unit; Rapid collection of multiple hyperspectral cubes will be required; Software for calibration and data analysis.

One (1) GROUND BASED VISIBLE THROUGH NEAR-INFRARED HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING CAMERA SYSTEM for field use. Requirements: Weighs less than 35 pounds excluding carrying case to allow for portability; Cover the 400 nanometer to 1000 nanometer spectral range; Capability of supplying a minimum of 250 spectral bands over the 400 to 1000 nanometer range, each band having a band width of 2 nanometers or less.; Capability of collecting and recording a hyperspectral image cube, with a minimum of 1024 spatial pixels in both the x and y dimensions; Minimum field of view of 10 degrees; Minimum dynamic range of 12 bits; Capability to collect accurate spectral information of targets moving in the scene; systems that only collect one spectral band per time sample, such as filter based systems, are unacceptable; Scan mirror and drive in the sensor head; Self-contained (except for power) to enable system mobility and deployment flexibility; Camera-Link communications standard to allow rapid download of data to PC data recording unit; Software for calibration and data analysis; Data must be able to be recorded in an open binary format that can be read by third-party hyper-spectral analysis packages; System designed to be mounted and operated on a tripod for ground-to-ground collections. (vi) Delivery is required within 60 days after date of contract award. Delivery shall be made to US Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Shipping and Receiving, 2800 Powder Mill Rd, BLDG 102, Adelphi, MD 20783-1197 and acceptance shall be performed at the same location. The FOB point is ARL, Adelphi, MD. (vii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial, applies to this acquisition.
