66 -- DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT POC Donna M. Chaney, Contract Specialist, Code 1142B, (301) 744-6656 The Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center intends to establish a Digital Radiographic capability to inspect energetic materials, ordnance, and ordnance related devices by 30 September 2000. These materials and devices range in size from very small 0.1 cubic inch primers to rocket catapults as large as three inches in diameter, 42 inches long. X-ray energy sources used to inspect these items range from a low of 160 kev to a high of 4 mev. The Digital Radiographic equipment must be capable of being utilized in an explosive environment, i.e., be intrinsically safe, while being able to withstand exposure to high radiation from the X-ray sources. Covering an area of at least 14-inches by 17-inches (continuously displayed or by scanning) the contrast sensitivity must be at least 2-2T with a 1-1T desired and the spatial resolution must be at least 5 line Pairs per millimeter with a 10 line pairs per millimeter desired. It is anticipated that more than one system may be necessary to meet the sensitivity and resolution requirements while covering the entire range of specimen sizes and X-ray energies. Descriptive literature and pricing information for state-of-the-art commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment and systems are requested. Due to the limitation of funds available, it is unlikely that developmental efforts can be supported. If other COTS equipment or systems are required to meet the above requirements, the costs associated with any development or systems engineering efforts must be included in the price of the proposed capability. Interested sources that can meet the requirement and desire to be considered, need to respond by 31 December 1999, with their capabilities. Correspondence should be directed to the Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, 101 Strauss Avenue, Attn: Eugene Stefko, Code 30C4, Building 1576, Indian Head, Maryland 20640-5035. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). There is no commitment on the part of the U.S. navy to award a contract as a result of this request for information. Posted 11/24/99 (W-SN403405). (0328)
