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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Requirements are as follows: Item 1: 1 ea. CCD camera; Item 2: 1 ea. Controller for camera in Item 1. Both Item 1 and Item 2 shall meet the following specifications:The frame straddling camera shall be used to record double-exposure, electronic holograms with sub-microsecond exposure separations and with or without image intensification. The camera shall be operated by a controller which shall be compatible with a SGI Octane Computer. The camera shall meet the following specifications:(1) The camera shall be useable and meet its specifications when c-mounted to a Roper Model No. Princeton Instruments 7117-0002 gated, lens-coupled image intensifier or equal and shall allow the intensifier to meet its specifications.(2) The camera shall have an inter-frame transfer time no larger that 200 nanoseconds and shall record exposures from the intensifier in specification (1) when that intensifier is operated with gate times as small as 100 nanoseconds. (3) The camera response shall be within 20 percent of its maximum value when illuminated at 532 nm.(4) The camera shall be able to record up to 1300 x 1030 pixels.(5) The camera shall have binning capability to allow its frame rate and sensitivity to be increased above the full resolution value as the resolution is decreased. (6) The camera readout speed and dynamic range shall be at least 5 MHz and 12 bits with read noise no more than 8 electrons rms.(7) The camera shall be equipped with coolers necessary to meet the specifications. (8) The camera shall be equipped with a controller which controls the camera to meet all specifications. The controller shall allowthe inter-frame transfer event to be synchronized with a TTL level input trigger. The controller shall provide TTL synchronization to synchronize other events including the gating of the image intensifier in specification (1). The controller shall make the captured frames available to the computer in specification (9). (9) The controller in specification (8) shall be operable by, and transmit frames to, an SGI Octane computer which has the following software and hardware inventories:(a) IRIX 6.5.4 Operating System;(b) MIPS R10000 CPU and MIPS R10000 Floating Point Processor;(c) Two SCSI busses, each with SCSI disks, CDROM and external SCSI connectors; (d) 256 Mbytes of RAM;(e) Two IOC3 Serial Ports and One IOC3 Parallel Port;(f) ESI graphics board;(g) Personal Video Option (analog). (10) The computer in specification (9) shall be supplied with the software necessary to operate and receive data from the controller in (9). (11) The software shall be supplied on CDROM in a format which can be read by the computer defined in specification (9). (12) The video frames from the camera and controller specified above shall be transmitted to the SGI computer defined in specification (9) in a format which can be displayed and processed by the SGI graphics software . (13) All manuals and instructions necessary to install and operate the camera and controller to meet specifications and to install and use the accompanying software shall be included.(14) The camera and controller shall operate from 117 vac, single phase electrical service.(15) All cables and connectors necessary to install and operate the camera and controller shall be included.
