DUE 032398 POC Susan Bergeron/Contract Specialist/210-652-5187 or Kathy Williams/Contracting Officer/210-652-5117 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist via e-mail., bergerons@rndgate1.aetc.af.mil. Sources sought to provide conversion of the current 35mm slide presentation format at various Air Force Base locations. This is a sources sought synopsis request to identify potential offerors only. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided. Responses to this request must include: business size, technical literature, cut sheets, pamphlets, or any documentation that will demonstrate the potential offeror's ability to satisfy the Government's requirements. Responses must be received in writing by this office within 20 days after the publication of this announcement. A solicitation is not available at this time. Request for future solicitation documents will not be considered responsive to this request. The Government is seeking potential sources that can convert the current presentation which is done with four 35mm slide projectors, one dissolver/tape unit, one LCD projector, one laptop computer, associated hardware, and PowerPoint. The current process flows as follows: the applicable base shoots the requested photos with 35mm slide film, processes the film, mounts the slides, and mails slides to Randolph AFB. The music being used is recorded with the dissolver/tape unit (using low noise tape) from a tape or CD player ("Y" cable goes from stereo to mono because the dissolver/tape unit has a mono output). Slides and music are synchronized by recording digital sync tones over the recorded music with the dissolver/tape unit. The presentation has three separate segments. Segment 1: "122" 35mm slides are projected full screen from the rear projection booth of the base theater or auditorium, using two slide 35mm projectors and one dissolver/tape unit. The dissolver synchs slides and music (approximately 10 to 12 minutes in length). The mono audio output of the dissolver/tape unit is feed to the theater sound system. Segment 2: "116" 35mm slides are projected full screen from the rear projection booth of the theater using two slide projectors and a dissolver/tape unit. The dissolver synchs slides and the music (approximately 10 15 minutes in length). Segment 3: "120 to 220" 35mm slides are projected half screen from 50 80 feet, using two 35mm slide projectors. The other half screen is used for a PowerPoint presentation with 150 to 250 frames, using the LCD projector and a laptop computer. The 35mm slide and LCD projector images are adjusted to a size that allows the images to take up half of the screen. This presents the appearance of being dual screen. The goal is to digitize the process described above in the following manner: the applicable base will take photos using existing digital cameras. After the images have been processed (cropped, sized, etc.) they will be forwarded on removable media. The images will be downloaded and a slide show constructed. Digital cameras would be used to take the photos on location, then touched up using some type of photo processing software. The images will be displayed in the base theater using a video display system (video projectors, laptop computers, anda sound capability), which is in synch with the digital images. All video equipment must be able to project approximately from 20 to 200 feet. Responses must also state that the contractor is not on the Parties Excluded from Procurement Programs. Contractors with GSA schedule contracts shall provide the contract number, pricing, and expiration date. Vendor demonstration may be required. (0061)
