AFMETCAL Det 1 intends to award a purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for the purchase of two Infrared Radiometers.This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 and 13.5 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, proposals are requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation F33660-00Q7515 is a request for a price quotation for an Infrared Radiometer: This solicitation incorpates provisions an clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular 97-18 and Defense Acquisition circular 91-13. FAR clauses 52.212-4 and 52.212-5 apply to this acquisition. This acquisition is unrestricted. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The item described herein is an infrared radiometer for calibrating infrared target simulators that produce a collimated beam of low level infrared irradiance. Theradiometer will have the following main components, an optical head, an electronics control unit, a laptop computer for instrument control, and all necessary cabling. INFRARED RADIOMETER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:Optical Head: Aperture Diameter: The receiving optics shall have an entrance aperture diameter of 3.5 to 3.8 inches.Field of View: The field of view of the optics shall be from 7 to 8 milliradians.Uniformity of Field of View Response: The responsivity of the field of view shall be uniform to within 10% in both horizontal and vertical directions, within 75% of the specified field of view.Symmetry of Field of View Response: The symmetry of the responsivity of the field of view shall within 5% when measured at 10% to 12 % of the maximum response in the horizontal and vertical directions.Primary Collecting Optics: The primary collecting optics shall utilize mirrors to assure flat spectral response of the optics, and to eliminate chromatic aberrations. The optics shall be designed such that radiation from non-temperature controlled surfaces inside the radiometer does not impinge on the detector.Infinity Focus: The optics shall be capable of being locked at infinity focus.Primary Receiving Mirror Diameter: The primary receiving mirror shall be no larger than 4.25 inches in diameter.Sighting System: The optics shall be provided with an in-line zero-parallax sighting system utilizing the radiometer_s primary mirrors to facilitate alignment with a target simulator.Radiation Reference Source: A temperature controlled radiation reference source shall provide a stable reference radiation level to the detector.Infrared Detector: The optical head shall be equipped with an indium antimonide detector with matching preamplifier. The detector shall have a minimum D* of 5 x 1010 cm Hz1/2 watt-1. Detector Dewar Hold Time: The detector shall be cooled by pour-filling a dewar with liquid nitrogen and the dewar shall have a minimum hold time of four hours.Modulation: The optical head shall include a chopper to provide modulation of the input radiation at the correct frequency for the infrared detector.Infrared Filters: The optical head shall include a motorized filter wheel with the following four infrared filters installed, plus an open aperture that allows unfiltered radiation to pass through:Narrow passband infrared filter centered at 3.5 m with a width at the half-power points of about 0.2 m, labeled as L1 in the controller software.Narrow passband infrared filter centered at 4.0 m with a width at the half-power points of about 0.2 m, labeled as L2 in the controller software.Narrow passband infrared filter centered at 4.5 m with a width at the half-power points of about 0.2 m, labeled as L3 in the controller software.Narrow passband infrared filter centered at 5.0 m with a width at the half-power points of about 0.2 m, labeled as L4 in the controller software.An open filter position labeled as L6 in the controller software.Optical Head Dimensions and Weight: The optical head shall not exceed 22 inches long x 15 inches high x 9 inches wide, and shall not exceed 25 lbs. in weight.Optical Head Mounting: The optical head shall have a flat base for mounting on optical positioners or tables.Electronics Control Unit:Electronic Bandwidth: The electronics control unit shall have electronic bandwidths of 1, 10, and 125 Hz, and a transient bandwidth of 12 kHz.Dynamic Range: The dynamic range shall be at least 6.5 x 107.Analog Outputs: The electronics control unit shall have analog outputs for detector preamplifier output, chart recorder analog output, and chopper synchronization.Computer Control: A laptop computer with software shall be utilized to control all electronics settings and control data acquisition and display.GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:Input Power Requirements: 120 Vrms 10 %, 50 to 60 Hz. Instrument shall include a power cord with a minimum length of 6 feet. Mechanical and Physical Requirements:Commercial Parts: Commercial parts and materials that are used shall have properties consistent with a precision laboratory instrument.Design and Construction: The equipment shall be designed and constructed of materials that meet the requirements of this specification and in accordance with the best commercial practices for industry approved equipment. It shall be designed and manufactured to maximize reliability, maintainability, accuracy of operation, and ease of operation. All parts such as shafts, bearings, regulators, switches, controls, etc., shall have proper clearance and adjustments. They shall work together so that the equipment will supply the rated requirements without unnecessary strains, vibrations, or overheating. They shall be able to withstand the conditions met in shipping, storage, installation, and service. All materials and parts of this equipment shall be capable of withstanding the environmental requirements of this specification.Operating Temperature: Electrical, electronic, and electromechanical items shall be capable of operating in an ambient temperature of 15 to 35 C without loss of required performance.Accessories: All accessories necessary for normal operation of the equipment shall be supplied.Model Number Designation: The unit shall be assigned a model number designation by the contractor.Serial Number Designation: Each individual unit shall be assigned a unique serial number designation by the contractor.DATA:.Technical Manuals: Commercial manuals must include operation and maintenance instructions, theory of operation and calibration procedures... Delivery is required within 180 days after contract award. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. Please acknowledge all requirements on your quote. Offerors must provide brochures/literature of the items being offered with their quote. Approved item is Infrared Systems Development part number 12-550 Mark III.
