Any responses to questions shall be made in writing, without identification of the questioner, and shall be included in an amendment to the solicitation. Background Information: The NIST Optical Technology Division is responsible for establishing and disseminating optical, infrared, and radiometric physical standards and measurement scales for other government agencies and a variety of industries, including environmental remote sensing, defense, and security. A set of Calibration Detector Systems, which is the subject of this acquisition, is necessary for tests planned as part of the dissemination of NIST scales. All responsible quoters shall provide a quotation for the following line item: Line Item 0001: Calibration Detector Systems The Contractor shall meet or exceed the following Specifications: A. Trapped Silicon Photodiode Calibration Detector 1. Shall consist of at least three, 10 mm x 10 mm silicon photodiodes arranged in a light-trapping configuration. 2. Internal quantum efficiency of photodiodes shall be greater than 0.99. 3. Shall be configured for use in radiant power mode, irradiance mode, and radiance mode. 4. Shall include a 3 mm diameter black precision aperture for irradiance mode. 5. Shall have a field of view greater than 6 degrees. 6. Shall include a Gershun tube radiance baffle with a 5 degree field of view for radiance mode. 7. Shall be made suitable for use with coherent sources by either not using a window or using a window wedged sufficiently to not introduce etalon effects. 8. The detector shall be temperature-stabilized to within +/- 0.005 degrees C via a thermo-electric cooler. The thermo-electric cooler electronics shall be included. B. InGaAs PhotoDiode Calibration Detector 1. Shall consist of at one 5 mm diameter InGaAs photodiode configured for use in radiant power mode, irradiance mode, and radiance mode. 2. Shall include a 3 mm diameter black precision aperture for irradiance mode. 3. Shall include a Gershun tube radiance baffle with a 5 degree field of view for radiance mode. 4. Shall be made suitable for use with coherent sources by either not using a window or using a window wedged sufficiently to not introduce etalon effects. 5. The detectors shall be temperature-stabilized to within +/- 0.005 degrees C via thermo-electric coolers. The thermo-electric cooler electronics shall be included. C. Windowed integrating sphere detector assembly 1. Shall consist of a three detectors mounted on the wall of an integrating sphere: a silicon photodiode, and InGaAs photodiode, and an extended InGaAs photodiode. 2. Shall operate over a wavelength range from 320 nm to 2500 nm. 3. Shall be configured for use in radiant power mode, irradiance mode, and radiance mode. 4. Shall include a 3 mm diameter black precision aperture for irradiance mode. 5. Shall include a Gershun tube radiance baffle with a 5 degree field of view for radiance mode. 6. Shall be made suitable for use with coherent sources by using a window wedged sufficiently to not introduce etalon effects. 7. The sphere shall be vacuum-baked, back-filled, and sealed for long-term stability. 8. The detectors shall be temperature-stabilized to within +/- 0.005 degrees C via thermo-electric coolers. The thermo-electric cooler electronics shall be included. Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination. The contractor shall deliver all line items to NIST, Building 301, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
