The OI SADA II must be a non-developmental item and must mate with the One Watt Linear Drive Cooler. Vendors must have a broad experience in the field of Focal Plane Arrays, Dewars, and command and control electronics as well as adequate fabrication and test facilities to warrant pre-production testing and limited procurement of OI SADA II units. The following elements are required for consideration in the OI SADA II market survey: 1) OI SADA units must meet the requirements of Performance Specification PRF 5009755, 2) the OI SADA II must mate with the One Watt Linear Drive Cooler, Performance Specification PRF A3165823, and 3) the acquisition must be a non-developmental effort and OI SADA II units must be available upon a signed contractual agreement. For consideration, each of the above elements must be individually addressed by all respondents. Data to include prior testing of the OI SADA II units must be furnished to support responsiveness to the non-developmental effort. The Government will provide for pre-production testing and resultant acquisition of the OI SADA II units. This procurement falls under the FCT Program. The FCT Program is a congressionally mandated program that demonstrates the willingness of US to purchase foreign items meeting technical requirements.
