- Description
- Contracting Office Address: AURA-Gemini Observatory, 670 N. A'ohoku Place, Hilo, Hawaii, 96720 Original Point of Contact: Andrew Flach, Gemini Contracts Manager, Phone (520) 749-1560, Fax (520) 203-0237, Email aflach@gemini.edu The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. ("AURA"), acting as the operator of the Gemini Observatory, is interested in procuring advanced near-infrared detectors that are optimized for use in wavefront sensing applications. Gemini Observatory is seeking delivery of mechanical samples, engineering grade devices and approximately 4 or 5 science grade detectors over a ~24 month development program. The nominal specifications include a 256x256 pixel format in two configurations. One would have 0.8-2.5 ?m sensitivity in a cryogenic package, while the other would have 0.8-1.8 ?m sensitivity in a TE-cooled package. Frame rates as high as 1000 fps with ~5 e- read noise (double correlated read) and subarray readout modes will also be required. A Request for Proposal (RFP) for this procurement will be issued by AURA in June or July 2006 to those that submit a request to receive the RFP by 15 June 2006. Requests to receive the RFP should be sent by email to Andrew Flach, Gemini Contracts Manager, at aflach@gemini.edu, and should reference N260697 in the subject line. In the body of the email please give the name of your organization and the contact information (name, email, street address, and telephone) for the person who will serve as your single point of contact for this procurement. Please do not send a proposal at this time, but wait to receive the RFP which will have a variety of additional requirements and specifications.
