E-MAIL: Johnnie Wright, wrightjo@eglin.af.mil. The Air Armament Center (AAC), 46th Test Wing, EO/IR Seeker/Sensor Systems Flight (TSWI) plans on issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for delivery of 3 ruggedized Focal Plane Array (FPA) Calibratable Camera System (FPACCS). The FPACCS must have a compact, ruggedized optical head and control electronics, that will operate in the Supersonic Airborne Tri-gimbaled Infrared System (SATIRS) pod, a turreted instrumentation pod that is carried by an F-15 aircraft. FPACCS must operate in this environment at altitudes from sea level to 50,000 feet, and at airspeeds up to mach 2. The optical head must be of the size to fit into one instrument bay of the SATIRS turret system, that is it must fit into 1/4 of a 10.25 inch radius sphere. TSWI desires to procure three systems to make fully calibrated banded Infrared (IR) measurements in the 1-3 micron (1 camera) and 3-5 micron (2 cameras) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The FPACCS shall be fully calibratable in accordance with a rigorous calibration method defined by TSWI that shall include internal environmental monitoring of temperature and humidity, including the lens and individual pixel gain and offset controls. The Field of View (FOV) for the system should be 5 o X 5 o +/- 1 o, with an Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV) for each pixel no greater than .07mrad optical resolution. The optical head shall have a remotely controlled motorized optical focus, provide at least three remotely selectable filter positions and a remotely selectable internal calibration source. The data output from the system shall be 12 bits/pixel digital data at 30 frames per second (fps) and in a compatible format for recording on an Ampex DCRsi 240 instrumentation recorder. The contractor shall also provide a complete operator's console system that can operate the optical components of the system at distances of up to 100 ft and provide a data storage capacity for 2 hours of continuous data collection. The optical head shall provide a standard RS-170 analog video output suitable forrecording on a standard videocassette Recorder (VCR) or as an input to a video tracking system. The SIC Code is 3861. The government anticipates awarding a contract for this to Devoe and Matthews of Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. Design or technical data is not available for this requirement. All responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation which will be considered by the agency. Procurement questions should be referred to Mr. Johnnie Wright, Contract Specialist at (850)882-4603 extension 4537. Technical questions should be addressed to the Program Manager, Mr. David Marshall, 46 TW/TSWI, (850)882-2594. The RFP F08635-00-R-0004 and other procurement documents will be posted on the Electronic Posting System (www.eps.gov) as they become available. An Ombudsman, J. Caluda at(850)882-5558, has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Manager or Contracting Officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather to the Contracting Officer, Contract Specialist, or the Program Manager. For any other concerns, interested parties may call the AAC Ombudsman. See Numbered Note 22.***** Posted 10/06/99 (D-SN389236). (0279)
