70 -- CCD IMAGING DETECTORS SOL N00600-96-R-2201 DUE 050396 POC For a copy of the solicitation, fax request to (202) 433-9569. For additional information, contact Joe Ferraro, Code PA1J, (202) 433-5818. The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Norfolk Detachment Washington has a requirement for seven (7) CCD Imaging Detectors in support of the U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington DC (USNO). The first CCD will be required within 45 days from date of award and will be tested. Two (2) CCD's will be required as an option to the Government by March 01, 1997, and the final four (4) CCD's will be required as an option to the Government in the following year. The resulting contract will be firm fixed price and will be awarded to the lowest cost, technically acceptable offeror. This is an unrestricted procurement. The following minimum characteristics apply: The Charged Coupled Devices (CCD's) shall be electronic integrated circuits and produce a charge image from incident photons. Each CCD shall have a nominal format of at least 4096 rows by 2048 columns as the size of a single, monolithic array for the active imaging area. Each CCD shall be ''3-side buttable'' and have square picture element edge lengths between 13 and 17 microns. Each CCD shall be sensitive to photons of wavelength between 400 and 1000 nanometers and have a peak quantum efficiency larger than 60% and shall acheive this performance over a range no narrower than 300 nanometers. Each CCD shall receive incident illumination through its back side and shall include thinning, anti-reflection coating. Each CCD shall have no more than 200 point defects, 10 column defects, and 20 cluster defects. When operated under normal conditions the CCD's shall read noise no larger than 8 electrons per pixel, charge transfer efficiency no smaller than 0.99999, full well no shallower than 80,000 electrons per pixel, and have dark current no larger than 50 electrons per pixel per hour. All offerors who respond shall price all quantities. All responsible offerors may respond. (0087)
