- Description
- 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 for a scientific intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) camera system like Roper Scientifics' or equal, having the following Salient Characteristics: 1. ICCD camera, like Roper Scientifics' PI-MAX MG 1K:SB, or equal, having: a) Thermoelectrically cooled, sealed camera head, requiring no nitrogen purge; b) A Marconi CCD47-10 grade 1 image sensor, front illuminated CCD, 1024 x 1024 pixels; c) an 18 mm 1:1 fiber-optic bonded grade 1 Super-Blue image intensifier with a gating speed of less than 9 ns optical full width at half maximum (FWHM); high resolution with 45 line pairs/mm, minimum; and quantum efficiency greater than 20% between 200 and 400 nm; d) 13 mm x 13mm pixels providing a 13.3-mm x 13.3-mm image area; e) TTL gating input. 2. Camera controller, like Roper Scientifics' ST-133A-PTG-DUAL, or equal, having: a) Insertion delay for the trigger pulse of less than 25 ns with electronics hardware; b) Dual speed digitizer with 16-bit 100 kHz and 16-bit 1 MHz speed; c) Sustained repetition rate of 1 kHz; d) Fast vertical shift of less than 12 microseconds; e) Fast kinetics option to allow for single- or multi-trigger time resolved measurements when the user desires, like Roper Scientific's kinetics-ST-133, or equal; f) RS-170 video output in PAL or NTSC format; g) TTL level output derived directly from the HV gate pulse for precise timing; h) Built-in programmable timing generator with: * complete software control * pulse counting feature * 0.1 Hz -1 MHz internal oscillator to act as master clock for the experiment * user adjustable external trigger polarity, threshold, and impedance * complete control intensifier gate width and delay with 40 ps resolution * on the fly control of gate width and delay * on-board memory to store and execute more than 1000 different gate widths and delays without software interruption * linear or exponential boxcar gating setup * T0 output indication the start of the trigger sequence * User adjustable delayed trigger output with 40 ps resolution * Precise control of on-CCD accumulations * Anticipator function. i) 8 TTL in and 8 TTL out signals accessible through the software. j) remote shutter operation via a Lemo connector. 3. Acquisition software, like Roper Scientifics' WinSpec/32 PIMAX, or equal, with: a) interface that controls the intensifier, delay generator and CCD b) automatic peak find feature c) flexible binning, region of interest (ROI) and multiple ROI acquisition d) file format support for 16-bit TIFF, ASCII e) flat-field, background and cosmic ray corrections f) post processing functions: statistics, image math, filtering, etc. g) 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D display controls h) Visual Basic and LabView support i) Experiment setup information stored with each image 4. Computer PCI interface board and cable for PC, compatible with the controller. Interface cable between PCI/PC and camera to be no less than 25 feet. 5. Spectrometer mount, to mate to an Acton SP-300i spectrometer, like Roper Scientific's SPEC-MNT-PIMAX or equal. 6. Nikon F-mount adapter, like Roper Scientific's F-MNT-PIMAX, or equal. 7. Functional documentation to include two sets of user manuals and the specific quantum efficiency curve for the camera that is delivered to us, in the range from 200 nm through 900 nm. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-6. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 421490 and 500, respectively.
