- Description
- The USDA, ARS, LSO intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source Mosaic, 590 Lipoa Parkway, Suite 264, Kihei, HI 96753 to furnish a small robust spectrometer optical module for a 1250-2500nm (8000cm -1 to 4000 cm-1) near infrared region. The module must be capable of being fitted with an NIR source, appropriate detectors (lead Sulfide or InGaAs arrays) and grating element/Hadamard mask to form a spectrometer. The instrument must be capable of 4 CM -1 resolution (Rayleigh) to be used in the measurement of stickiness in cotton. That is, the specifications in frequency space are 8000cm -1 to 4000 cm -1, with no moving parts and a SNR > 10,000:1. The instrument should be lightweight (under 25 lbs), insensitive or correctable for thermal variations, have a simple external source to illuminate the target and a robust geometry. The device as assembled must be directly interfaceable to a computer. The quotation should indicate what detector and grating element would be best suited for the spectrometer module. This procurement will be made pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(2) (C)(ii). No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Interested parties should submit written responses including prices and technical data sufficient to determine capability to meet the entire requirement and must be received in this office within 7 calendar days after publication of this notice. It should be noted that no contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but will be used to determine if a comparable source more advantageous to the Government is available.
