E-MAIL: Ann L. Kearney, akearney@pop200.gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA's GSFC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for two 240 x 320 infrared bolometer arrays to be used in NASA's Compact Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer (COVIR) instrument. The detector will perform at the 3.55-3.95 micron wavelength, and we require quoted prices for both variable frame rate and time delay integration capabilities (to be priced both with and without these features). The objective of this project is to develop a small, lightweight, low power, and low cost visible and thermal infrared imaging radiometer instrument for NASA's Instrument Incubator Program (IIP). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. The SIC Code and Size Standard are 3829 and 500 employees, respectively. The provisions and clauses in the RFO and model contract are those in effect through FAC 97-13. All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. The anticipated release date of the RFO is on or about November 15, 1999 with an anticipated offer due date of on or about December 15, 1999. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Internet Note "B". The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft Office Suite (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0) format and will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.
