Matthews, Contract Specialist, Phone (216) 433-2766, Fax (216) 433-2480, Email Ronald.L.Matthews@grc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22#RFQ3-1435 19. E-MAIL: Ronald L. Matthews, Ronald.L.Matthews@grc.nasa.gov. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The information required by FAR Subpart 12.6 is included in the on-line RFQ linked above or it may be accessed at http://procurement.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=. NASA/GRC plans to acquire 1 each, Intensified Charge-Coupled Device Camera System. An intensified CCD camera is required for performing combustion diagnostics to meet Aeronautics Turbomachinery Components Technology milestones. A complete camera system is needed and shall include, as a minimum, a camera head, image intensifier control unit, I/O synchronization board, control system with software, and PCI interface. This intensified CCD camera system shall meet or exceed the following specifications: 1. CCD sensor shall be at least 1280 x 1024 pixels in size, with minimum full-well capacity of 25,000 electrons, and a spectral range of at least 300-880 nm, with greater than 4% quantum efficiency over the specified spectral range. 2. CCD controller and A/D converter shall have at least a 12-bit dynamic range, with a maximum readout rate of at least 12.5 MHz, maximum framing rate of at least 8 frames/second, double-shutter capability with minimum pulse separation time of 200 ns or less, and dark current less than 0.1 electrons/pixel/second. 3. Data acquisition and control system that shall provide remote control of all camera and intensifier hardware parameters, as well as options for control of associated equipment, including lasers and spectrographs; flexible image acquisition, including delays and binning; image display, processing, and analysis functions; and programmable command language in C syntax, allowing for user access to all software functions for macro programming. 4. Intensified relay optics, that can be attached or detached by the user, with proximity-focused microchannel plate, at least 25 mm diameter; P43 phosphor screen, with decay to less than 10% within 1 ms, minimum gate time of 5 ns or less; maximum repetition rate of at least 3 kHz; remotely controlled timing and gain; 110 V power supply; and output control pulse for monitoring exposure time. Quantum efficiency of intensifier shall be greater than 13% from 200nm -- 450nm. Camera shall be operable as a stand-alone CCD camera, with the intensified relay optics removed, or as an intensified CCD camera, with the intensified relay optics installed. 5. System shall include all cabling needed to permit remote control of camera and intensifier by data acquisition and control system located 60' (18 m) away from camera, including fiber optic data and control cable for CCD camera. 6. System shall include component operation manuals and standard warranty (90 days on intensified relay optics, 1 year on all other components). Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (e-mail is acceptable) no later than 2/17/00. (Prospective quoters shall notify this office of their intent to submit a quotation). It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any). This procurement is 100% set-a-side for small business. All items shall be delivered to the Glenn Research Center within 30 calendar days from the date of award. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Internet Note "B". See Note(s) __ .
