- THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF RFQ ISSUANCE. THIS EFFORT IS CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL IN NATURE AND ANY RESULTANT CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED IAW FAR PART 12. PLEASE NOTE THE SUSPENSE DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF CAPABILITIES PACKAGES IS 17 JULY 2003. The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), at Wright-Patterson AFB OH, anticipates a competitive acquisition for a stereoscopic PIV system. This sources sought synopsis is issued to determine if there are contractors capable of and interested in supplying the required item. Minimum system requirements are as follows: 1. The system shall include two cameras containing at least 2048X2048 pixels operating at 8 bits; Pixels shall be square, with at least a 48 DB signal to noise ratio 2. Full resolution images shall be read out at a rate of 7.5HZ in "Double Exposure" mode of operation which shall be supported. In "double exposure mode" 3. Each camera shall be capable of acquiring two images within 1 microsecond at 7.5 HZ. 4. The system shall include the capability to transfer full-sized frames at or above the camera rate to a computer 5. Cameras shall have an F-Type lens mount 6. Compatible cables shall be provided between the cameras and frame grabber board 7. Cameras shall be air cooled. 8. Each camera shall include 105 mm lenses, stereoscopic (Scheimflug) mounts 9. Two rails for camera mounts shall be provided as part of the system. 10. Camera shall be programmable via remote interface to control all camera functions 11. System Shall come with power supply to enable operation off of 110 vac 12. System shall include a frame grabber card 13. It shall support the operation of the above CCD camera at 8 bit operation 14. Shall support the readout of2048X2048 pixel images at 7.5 HZ in dual channels 15. Shall include a PCI bus card supporting direct DMA frame acquisition into the host computer memory 16. Total number of sequential frames acquired shall be limited by the host computer memory only 17. Shall operate with the provided software 18. Shall accept external trigger signals to control image acquisition 19. System shall include image acquisition software 20. Shall support all video operations of the frame-grabber 21. Shall support the setup and control of each CCD camera via a communications connection line between the camera and frame-grabber 22. Shall include the ability to set the camera in "double exposure" mode of operation 23. Shall enable the acquisition of sequences of image files from the frame- grabber and saving to disk in an auto-numbered scheme 24. Shall support TIF image file format in saving and loading of image files. 25. System shall include a computer capable of functioning with two frame grabber cards compatible with the cameras 26. Computer shall operate at a minimum of 3 GHZ with 2 GBytes RAM, a 240 GByte hard drive, and a minimum of 19" flat panel monitor. 27. System shall include image processing software capable of performing cross- correlation analysis of images and it shall compute resulting particle velocities 28. It shall compute average velocity fields, turbulent kinetic energy, and Reynolds stresses 29. Software shall be capable of exporting Tecplot compatible files 30. The source code for the image processing shall be provided as part of the system pending secrecy agreements between the purchaser and supplier. 31. The system shall include support including but not limited to assistance in configuring the new system with existing Spectra Physics Nd: Y AG lasers and combined sheet forming optics, assembly, installation, testing and training. All sources capable of providing the required system are being sought. In addition to the information provided in the Capabilities Package described below, responding parties must also indicate their size status in relation to the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330/Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 8711 (size standard $4 million). Sources should identify and address if they are a large, small, 8(a), woman owned, Hubzone, or otherwise classified as a small disadvantaged business in their responses. CAPABILITIES PACKAGE: All interested firms should submit a capabilities package that outlines their firm?s capabilities to provide the required system. The capabilities package should include enough information on a firm?s proposed stereoscopic PIV system in order for the Government to determine if it meets the minimum system requirements. Submit capabilities packages and routine inquiries concerning the Sources Sought to Helen Williams, 88 ABW/PKSB, Bldg 1, 1940 Allbrook Drive, Suite 3, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-5309, telephone 937-257-6146 x4211, or fax 937-257-3926, or e-mail Helen.Williams@wpafb.af.mil. This sources sought is for information and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a solicitation and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. RESPONSES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 17 JULY 2003. For more information on 03T0176--Stereoscopic PIV System please refer to http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/pixslibr/03T0176/03T0176.asp
