- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) for two lighting systems for Wind Tunnel optical instruments. It is required to produce large amounts of light in the appropriate wavelength range, can be modified to run continuously, or pulsed as fast as one (1) microsecond, have low amounts of power, and achieve high stability after suitable warm-up time. It is also required to be able to project the light into an even, well-defined circle, the size of which can be adjusted by the operator depending on test conditions. It is additionally required for the light to be built in the form of a ring which can be mounted on a camera lens. The hardware shall have the following requirements: 1.) - Shall emit light in the wavelength range of 390 to 410 nm 2.) - Light emitted will have a wavelength distribution with the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) being 50 nm or less. 3.) - Shall come equipped with a filter or other means to ensure that no light is emitted beyond 520 nm. 4.) - Shall produce at least two (2) Watts of optical output power. 5.) - Shall be able to be operated in a continuous or pulsed mode of operation (user selectable and can be accomplished by interchanging components). 6.) - In pulsed mode of operation, shall be able to operate up to five (5) kHz (5000 pulses/second) with a pulse width as low as five (5) microseconds (rate and width supplied via TTL control). 7.) - In pulsed mode of operation, light will be fully on within 1 (one) microsecond of receiving TTL pulse (optical rise time). 8.) - In pulsed mode of operation, light will be fully off within 1 (one) microsecond of the end of the TTL pulse (optical fall time). 9.) - In pulsed mode of operation, light will have a peak-to peak stability of less than 1% (i.e. the intensity of light output shall vary 1% or less from pulse to pulse). 10.) - In continuous mode operation, unit shall be able to turned on with a switch or be able to be turned on remotely using TTL control. 11.) - In continuous mode operation, unit shall exhibit a root mean square drift of 1% or less for long term stability (after suitable warm-up time) 12.) - Lighting unit shall be packaged in the form of a ring able to be mounted on camera lenses from 2.25? to 3? diameter. (Drive electronics may be contained in a separate unit.) 13.) - Unit shall operate using standard 120V electrical connection. 14.) ? Unit shall be able to focus light output into a circle either 5 ft in diameter at a 5 ft distance, or 2 feet in diameter at a 10 foot distance, as selected by the user. The minimum illumination uniformity is +/- 25% of mean, desired illumination uniformity is +/- 10% of mean. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-16. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 333298 and 500 respectively. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-21. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 333314 and 500 respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for this procurement. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. Delivery to NASA Ames Research Center is required within 30 days ARO. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-C9. Offers for the items(s) described above are due by 12:00 PM PDT, November 27, 2007, by any of the following: mailed to NASA Ames Research Center, Attn: Mr. Kevin J.
