THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-03. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This acquisition is unrestricted and all interested offerors may submit a quote. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Optical Technology Division, has a requirement for a Micromirror Array Projector System Engine. This equipment will allow users to supply their own light source to project with the mirrors to the sensor under test. NEW OR USED EQUIPMENT IS ACCEPTABLE PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SOLICITATION. For the purposes of this solicitation, ?used? means having been operated previously ? not refurbished or remanufactured. All interested quoters shall provide a quote for the following line items: LINE ITEM 0001: Quantity one (1) each Micromirror Array Projector System Engine meeting all of the following required specifications: 1. Must include an 800 x 600 array of aluminum micromirrors packaged in an integrated circuit with a window to protect the tiny mirrors and allowing users to supply their own light source and projection optics; 2. The mirrors should be on a 17 micron pitch along both directions in the array; 3. Each mirror must be able to be individually electronically addressed and made to tilt relative to its powered off state. Upon power-up, there must be two states for each mirror: +10 degrees and ?10 degrees; 4. An associated computer-interfaced micromirror drive, control, and support electronics package must be included. These electronics are to enable a binary image file to be loaded into the DMD array which specifies, at any given time, which mirrors are in the plus 10 degrees state and which are in the minus 10 degrees state. Also, these electronics must implement pulse-width modulation control for any mirror in the array to enable a time-averaged grey scale to be achieved. The computer interface should use a standard interface such as DV. The computer is not a part of this solicitation; 5. The switching time for any given mirror must be less than 20 microseconds. 6. 100% of the mirrors must be operational; 7. The optical fill factor must be at least 85%; 8. The micromirror array must be able to be illuminated continuously during use with an optical irradiance level of 10 Watts per square centimeter without damage; 9. The window must be coated on both sides with an anti-reflectance coating such that it transmits greater than 90% of incident infrared light over the entire wavelength range of 3 microns to 12 microns. Transmittance outside of this spectral range is certainly allowable, but not required; 10. Software compatible with Windows 2000 must be provided for the drive, control, and support electronics; 11. A user manual must be provided, in paper form or on a CD. Upon delivery, the unit shall undergo a two (2) week testing period. Equipment must be 100% operational. In the event the equipment is not 100% operational, and/or it does not satisfy the requirements described herein, the Government may deem it unacceptable and cancel the purchase order. Cancellation of the purchase order due to failure to deliver technically acceptable equipment will not constitute a termination for the convenience by the Government. Any costs expended by the contractor up to the cancellation, including return shipping charges, are at the contractor?s risk and will not be reimbursed by the Government. If the equipment provided does not satisfy the requirements, the Government may elect not to cancel the purchase order, and to work with the contractor to identify a material that will satisfy the requirements. This decision is at the discretion of the Government. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. FOB Destination means the contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.
