This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a formal written solicitation (request for quotation) will not be issued. This Solicitation Number is N68936-00-T-0107, and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-15 and Defense Acquisition Circular Number 91-13. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS), China Lake, CA, intends to award a Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) type contract for 50 mm Focal Length Infrared Lenses, motorized assembly which includes user manual and test report (DIOP part number 22719). It shall also include DIOP Smart Controller Board (DIOP part number 31100-10) with cabling for lenses (part number 31169) to serve multiple purposes in daytime and nighttime usage to support testing of military hardware. The lens will be fielded in the desert range environment. The lenses must be compatible with the Raytheon HS midband IR camera and a government owned infrared telescope and collimator that operates in the 3 to 5 micron IR band. The lens shall contain focus motor capability user selected via remote serial link control via the Radiance IR camera. Feedback shall be provided to provide focus position and discrete I/O for limit switch reading and optical element control via the remote serial link. The lens shall have an external entrance pupil. The lens shall mate and operate with a Raytheon Radiance HS IR camera (Galileo) with a 256 by 256 element focal plane array. Horizontal and vertical pitch is 30 microns for the FPA. (Galileo Commercial Produce Specification #72308 dated January 1996). The lens shall have motorized focus with remote focus control capability. This control shall use the Raytheon Radiance HS serial interface. Additional I/O bits shall also be available for field of view position indication as well as field of view actuation changes. The focal length shall be 50 mm plus or minus 1 mm. Overall length 5 1/2 inches or less. No structure forward of the front lens surface. The ratio of the effective optical focal length to the effective optical aperture (F number) shall be numerically 2.3 or lower. The input pupil of the lens as defined by the cold stop shall be accessible, at the lens front surface to a half-inch in front of the first optical surface. The lens shall focus the camera from a near distance of 50 times the lens focal length to infinity. In addition, the image position on the FPA may not shift by more than 0.5% (38 microns) of the field of view when the lens is focused from the focus range of 1000 feet to infinity and visa versa. The connector for focus control on the lens itself shall be a 9 pin D, and shall be on the top of the lens assembly after mating to the Radiance HS camera. The maximum image geometric distortion error of the output image of the system shall be less than 1 pixel (30 microns) over the wavelength band from 3-5 microns in the middle 50% of the image and less than 2 pixels (60 microns) outside this area. Geometric distortion error is defined as follows: The difference of the measured coordinate position of a point in the image to the ideal coordinate position of that point. Delivery of lens, shall include all cabling to interface to the Radiance IR camera, as well as user manuals and acceptance test procedures and test results for each lens. A minimum of 15 lenses will be ordered and a maximum of 25 lenses may be ordered over the one-year term of the contract. The first delivery will be for 3 lenses to be delivered 18 weeks after issue date of first Delivery Order and 3 lenses per month thereafter. Inspection and acceptance of the supplies to be furnished hereunder shall be made at destinationby the receiving activity. The procurement will be awarded on a Sole Source basis to Diversified Optical Products (DIOP), Salem, NH, because they are the sole owners of the design of the serial interface to the lenses. DIOP holds the proprietary rights on the serial remote focus link to the lens. FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, Commercial Items applies to this acquisition.
