70 -- 70--COMPUTER IMAGE ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM (CIAAS) SOL F33601-96-1970 DUE 091896 POC P.L. Kendrick/Contract Negotiator/FAX 513-257-6390. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) and this includes all provisions and clauses in effect thru FAC 90-37. The requirements for this RFQ is for a Computer Image Acquisition and Analysis System (CIAAS) described as follows: The CIAAS is a network based system centered around a file server currently in place and functioning. Image Acquisition Stations (IAS) will use video capture boards to digitize images from various sources (JEOL 6100 Scanning Electron Microscope, Optical Microscopes, X-Ray, Macro Optical Cameras, etc.). These images will then be stored on an existing file server for later use by the engineers at their desk. The images will be printed as a part of our evaluation reports using a high-end photographic quality printer. In addition, a searchable database of all reports will be stored on the server with text and fill color images. This RFQ has the following line item minimum requirements: 0001, Qty 1, Computer work stations for Image Acquisition Stations: Pentium 90MHZ, 256K Cache, 16MB Ram, PCI Bus, 2MB PCI Video Card, 1 GB SCSI Hard drive, Adaptec 2940 PCI PCI SCSI Adapter, 15'' .28mm 1280x1024 color monitor, 3.5'' floppy drive, 101 keyboard, MS mouse, Microsof Windows 95, network compatible; 0002, Qty 1, Macro Optical Imaging Acquisition Station: computer work station, 3-chip CCD Video Camera (F-mount, composite, RGB and CY outputs, CCD iris control, adjustable shutter speed), automatic and manual white balancing (7.5-90 MM Parfocal zoom lens, image acquisition board, 24 bit color, 2 MB, RGB interface), capable of full size live on-screen viewing at 30 fps, image acquisition software, real-time contrast and brightness control, sharpen filter, thumbprint image viewing and selection, network compatible; 0003, Qty 1, Nikon Stereoscope Image Acquisition Station: computer work station, image acquisition board (24 bit color, 2MB, RGB interface), capable of live-on screen viewing at 30 fps, image acquisition software, real-time contract and brightness control, sharpen filter, thumbprint image viewing and selection; 0004, Qty 1, Zeis Axiomat Metallograph Imaging System: computer work station, 3-chip CCD Video Camera (c-mount, composite, RGB and CY outputs, CCD iris control, adjustable shutter speed), automatic and manual white balancing, image acquisition board (24-bit color, 2MB, RGB interface, capable of live on-screen viewing at 30 fps), image acquisition software, real-time contract and brightness control, sharpen filter, thumbprint image viewing and selection, image pro plus image analysis package; 0005, Qty 1, JEOL Scanning Electron Imaging System, computer workstation, automatic control of image, contract and brightness, 12 bit image digitization, active beam control (16,381 scan), frame/pixel averaging (dual gated integrated) dual ADC's ((Simultaneous Secondary and backscatter collection), real time pan and zoom, 640 to 4096 pixel/image, JEOL SEM interface software interface, image acquisition software (line scan mode, histogram display, micro-bar, annotation (magnification, accelerating voltage)), black and white thermal video printer (256-tone grayscale, 3-second printout speed, 1,360(h) x 640(V) print resolution; 0006, Qty 1, photographic quality color dye sublimation printer, minimum 32MB RAM ethernet ready PCP/IP protocol. All bidders/offerors, please note the following: 1) No modifications to the SEM are permitted. Integration must use existing interface ports. Active control of the beam must be used. Passive image acquisition is unacceptable. 2) All systems must allow network installation by WL/DOISM, and must be able to save files directly to a network drive in at least the following formats: BMP, TIFF, TGA, EPC, and WMF. 3) All systems must allow for upgradeability of the following components: video card, amount of main memory, CPU clock speed, higher resolution camera. Image grabber board to utilize higher resolution camera if not already capable. 4) Substitutions for Image Pro Plus analysis package and/or brand names mentioned herein must have equal or better functionality. Delivery required no later than 30 days after award, FOB destination. The following clauses and provisions apply: 52.212-1, 52.212-3 shall be included with any offer, 52.212-4 and 52.212-5.
