70 -- NARROW BANDPASS FILTERS FOR VISIBLE AND NEAR INFRARED SOL N00173-00-R-SK04 POC Susan Kelly, Contract Specialist, Code 3230.SK (202)767-6815, Carol Parnell, Contracting Officer WEB: click here, http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm. The Naval Research Laboratory has a requirement for very narrow, 0.01 nm bandwidth filters for excluding solar background when detecting certain visible and near-infrared signals. Other signals may be proposed, but it is anticipated that the preferred approach will be to use Faraday rotation. The signals to be detected, preferable in a single-aperture device, are at 766.4924 to 766.4954nm and either 588,9969 to 588.9992nm or 589.5943 to 589.5966nm. NRL anticipates awarding a CPFF contract. This requirement is anticipated to be issued as a full and open competitive solicitation under SIC code 3674 at the 500 employee business size level. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. Synopsis SK04 Posted 03/08/00 (W-SN432429). (0068)
