Description

Request for Information Ultra-Sensitive Detectors and Advanced Diagnostics ___________ THIS DOCUMENT IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS RFI OR TO OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED EXCEPT AS AN ALLOWABLE COST UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS AS PROVIDED IN FAR 31.205-18, BID AND PROPOSAL COSTS. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THIS RFI, THE GOVERNMENT DOES INTEND TO SUBMIT A BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT, BAA AL-2005-01, REQUESTING PROPOSALS UNDER THE SAID TOPICS. ___________DO NOT PREPARE OR SUBMIT PROPOSALS IN RESPONSE TO THIS RFI. THE PURPOSE OF THE RFI IS TO RECEIVE INPUT FROM INDUSTRY ON THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS. TECHNICAL QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE TECHNICAL POCs FOR EACH AREA LISTED BELOW. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ARE LISTED AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT. RESPONSES TO THIS RFI ARE DUE BY 1 OCTOBER 2004. SEND RESPONSES TO CAPT DAX PRESUTO, MDA/ALK, 1350 WYOMING BLVD SE, BLD 20200, KIRTLAND AFB, NM 87117-5536 OR DAX.PRESUTO@KIRTLAND.AF.MIL. ___________ CONTACTS Technical questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the Ultra-Sensitive Detectors project should be directed to Dr. Jim Riker, AFRL/DE, at 808-875-4500 or jim.riker@maui.afmc.af.mil. ___________ Technical questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the Advanced Diagnostics project should be directed to 1Lt Heather Pietrzyk, MDA/ALD, at 505-853-3779 or heather.pietrzyk@kirtland.af.mil. __________ Contracting questions or if you would like to request a Word document of this RFI should be directed to Capt.

INTRODUCTION __________ The Department Of Defense (DOD) is interested in receiving proposals for very high frame rate, high bandwidth, low noise detection systems for applications in laser ranging and detection. The delivered system will consist of a detector, associated electronics needed to amplify and digitize the detector signal, cooling hardware, and documentation. The program will consist of three possibly overlapping phases for a total of 36 months: ____________ Phase 1 will span 12 months, and contractors are encouraged to demonstrate key elements of their technical approach such as system gain or read out noise that contributes to their system’s high sensitivity. This elemental performance should be combined with detailed modeling to illustrate the contractor’s technical approach will meet the program’s detection goals. We would expect that a phase-ending CDR would produce a camera design that the contractor expects could meet the specification goals. ____________ Phase 2 will cover fabrication of the detector and multiplexer units into a hybridized detection system in 18 months. ____________ Phase 3 will cover final design documentation, integration, testing and delivery within a 6-month period to a Government facility of the complete detection system that meets all technical performance listed herein. ___________ The Government anticipates awarding at most two contracts for this effort during phase 1, with a down select for phase 2 and 3. The anticipated magnitude of effort for this project is approximately $2.5M per year over 3 years but this amount is neither guaranteed nor is the Government obligated to meet this budget in the future. The projected start date is anticipated to be during the second quarter FY05 but is dependent upon availability of funding and the results of the contracting process. Open communication with the technical point of contact (POC), Dr. Jim Riker, at 808-874-1619, is encouraged until proposals are received. Contracting questions should be directed to Capt Dax Presuto at 505-846-0758 or dax.presuto@kirtland.af.mil. ___________ B.
