67 -- 67--4K DIGITIZERS AND 4K DIGITIZER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SOL MDA908-96-R-0033 132/0429Z/95 DUE 071596 POC Contract Specialist, JANET BENTON, 202 231-2849 The Virginia Contracting Activity, on behalf of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has a requirement to procure digitizer cameras and all required optical components, software, and computer interface hardware utilized by the Defense Intelligence Agency Center, Bolling AFB, Washington, DC. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart FAR 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this synopsis/solicitation is RFP MDA908-96-R-0033. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions/ clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 90-32. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is 3861 and the small business size standard is 500. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ITEMS TO BE ACQUIRED: CLIN 0001: 4K DIGITIZER CAMERAS TO INCLUDE OPTICAL SYSTEM, CAMERA CONTROL UNIT & CAMERA HEAD, 3 EACH. CLIN 0002: 4K DIGITIZER COMPUTER HARDWARE & SOFTWARE, 3 EACH. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The digitizer is defined as the image capture device to include; the sensor packaging, and sensor electronics; exposure control devices such as shutters and apertures; and all associated optics. The digitizer's power requirements shall be compatible with US standard 120 volt, 60 cycle, ac outlets. The digitizer's minimum number of grey levels per pixel shall be 256. The digitizer shall be capable of capturing, at minimum, 4000 active pixels in the horizontal direction and 4000 active pixels in the vertical direction. The captured image shall be geometrically correct with respect to the film image. That is, an aspect ratio of 1:1. The digitizer shall be capable of producing a high quality image. There shall not be entire rows or columns of defective sensor elements evident in the soft copy. There shall not be any significant clustering of defective sensor elements that could render vital image information unreadable or significant amounts of single defective pixels that would be evident in the soft copy. The digitizer shall have adequate light sensitivity, spectral response, and dynamic range to be able to digitize the specified film on the GFE special purpose copy stand. The digitizer shall have predictable linear responses to the conditions stated foremention. The sensor shall be able to discriminate density differences of .02 at any location on the sensor as well as maintain density levels within .02 (for all densities between .2 and 2.0 at all locations), when the light falling on the sensor is perfectly uniform. The optics and optical path shall be free from defects and deficiencies that would degrade the soft copy imagery to the point of rendering it not useful for the production of intelligence products. This includes poor quality coatings, internal reflections, effects from apertures and shuttering devices, and out of focus regions. The digitizer's average capture-to-display time for a full 4000 pixel by 4000 pixel image range shall be under five seconds. The digitizer shall also be capable of being rotated around its optical axis to correct image obliquity. The final configuration will have the body of the digitizer mounted on top of the rotating ring with the lens hanging down through the center opening. The digitizer' optical system shall be capable of continuous 8X magnification range (minimum). Alternate optical solutions for covering the 8X range will be considered. The optical system shall provide for an effective pixel size range of 4 microns to 32 microns over the 8X magnification range. The digitizer shall be capable of having exposure time being controlled by software. The digitizer shall be delivered with a cable no less than nine feet in length for connecting the digitizer to the GFE workstation (SUN) interface. The digitizer shall be delivered with complete specification, installation, user, and maintenance documentation. The digitizer shall be designed for use in a production environment, with continuous set-up changes. These conditions require that the digitizer be designed for ease of use, rapid set-up changes, and minimal recalibration times. The digitizer must interface with GFE workstation. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: A save function shall store the entire 4000 pixel by 4000 pixel image to disk. The minimum requirements of the store function are that the image file can be named, a directory path can be specified, and that the image file can be saved in either raw or Sun raster format. A scaling function shall determine how the digitized image is scaled in the allotted image space. The default scaled image shall display the full subsampled image within the space allotted. The scaling function shall allow for the display of imagery at different resolutions. The scaling function shall allow for the display of imagery at different resolutions. A focus region within the GUI window shall be displayed along with the default scaled image to assist digitizer focus. The focus region shall display a small portion of the image at full resolution. The focus region shall operate simultaneously with the default image, and is useful when a full subsampled image is displayed and critical focus is required. The software shall take full advantage of the MOTIF window manager GUI. The software image shall consume the majority of the window space. A sensor exposure time function shall allow for a user defined range of exposure times that bracket the optimum time for the specified operating conditions. These conditions include light intensity, digitizer aperture setting, and film subject matter. To assist in determining the correct exposure, the digital level (0 to 255) of any selected point in the image shall be displayed during continuous digitize as well as when evaluating captured scenes. Continuous digitize. A continuous digitize function shall cause the display to update (capture and display) continuously. This function is required for rapid composing, optical focusing, and adjusting light intensity. The software shall be designed to function in a production environment, not a scientific laboratory. Within the context, the viewing instructions shall be designed for ease of use and have a logical, simplistic, presentation to the operator. Defense Intelligence Agency requires delivery of the systems within 120 days from receipt of a written notice of award. FOB Destination. The place of delivery/ acceptance is: Defense Intelligence Agency, Warehouse/PLAZA 500, SUITE 140, 6295 EDSAL ROAD, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22312.
