67 -- ULTRA HIGH SPEED DIGITAL CAMERA SYSTEMS SOL DACW42-00-T-0108 DUE 091300 POC Tina Landes, Contract Specialist (601) 631-5356 WEB: There is no solicitation available at this time., There is no solicitation available at this time.. E-MAIL: Click here to email the MVK Contracting Office point, Tina.M.Landes@mvk02.usace.army.mil. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, proposes to issue [for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, Mississippi] a sole source contract to DRS Technologies, Cupertino, CA, for the purchase of two (2) complete ultra high-speed digital camera systems for the purpose of capturing, collecting and rapidly processing digitally stored images for immediate feedback. At least one of the cameras must be able to capture 16 frames of useable data with a resolution of at least 1280 X 1024 pixels. The second camera must be able to capture at least 8 frames of useable data with a resolution of at least 576 X 385 pixels. Both cameras must be supplied by the same vendor to ensure compatibility and to reduce training needs. The systems must be able to digitally capture and digitally collect data at an effective framing rate of at least 100,000,000 frames per second with programmable exposure ranges from 10 nanoseconds to 10 milliseconds. Each camera system provided by the vendor must be fully computer controlled using at least one PC (INTEL Pentium Class of at least 200 MHz) supplied by vendor per camera, PC interfaces by vendor-provided fiber optic cable, control, analysis and display software running WINDOWS 95 at a minimum, high resolution monitor, and be ruggedized to withstand transportation to remote sites. The associated software must offer on-the-spot analysis of on-going experiments; i.e., speed and yaw of projectiles and pseudo-coloration of explosion events. Each frame must be captured individually in case of tube failure for a given frame. One 100-meter fiber optic control cable and a high power 1.5 millisecond, 1000 joule, flash lamp is also required. This item is the only system of its type commercially available that meets or exceeds the minimum selection criteria. The procurement of this system is critical to ERDC's research and development program. A firm fixed-price contract will be awarded utilizing the Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Commercial Services. Any other responsible source able to provide the supplies referenced above is encouraged to respond to this announcement within 15 days after its publication. This is not a request for quotations and there is no solicitation available at this time. Posted 08/28/00 (W-SN490949). (0241)
