This acquisition is issued as an Request for Quote (RFQ). (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated pro visions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-23. (iv) This acquisition is set-aside for Small Business. The associated NAICS code is 333315. The small business size standard is 500. (v) The following is a list of contract line item number(s) and items quantities and units of measure, (including option(s) if applicable): CLIN 0001 One (1) Vic3D Digital Image Correlation System. (vi) Description of requirements: 1. Two (2) High-speed D igital Cameras Image resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels (1.05 Megapixels). Operation speeds up to 5400 frames per second at full resolution. Data transfer and communication by Gigabit Ethernet. Standard f-mount lens compatibility. 16 GB memory installed per camera. 2. One (1) Quad-core Intel PC w/ 2GB RAM, 500GB HD, 20 inch LCD Intel Core2 Duo Quad Core 2.66 GHz Processor 2GB DDR2 RAM 256MB PCI Video Card 500 GB 7200rpm hard drive DVD+/-R burner Gigabit Ethernet Communi cation 20 Wide Screen Flat Panel LCD USB optical mouse USB wired keyboard Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System 3. One (1) Dual-core Laptop w/ 1GB RAM, 100GB HD, 17 inch LCD Intel Core2 Duo Core 2.0 GHz Processor 2GB DDR2 RAM 256MB PCI Video Card 100 GB 7200rpm hard drive DVD+/-R burner Gigabit Ethernet Communication 17 inch Flat Panel LCD USB optical mouse Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System 4. 3D Image Correlation Softwar e The software shall be provided as permanent license software on both the workstation PC and Laptop computer. In addition, two USB hardware keys shall be provided that allow data analysis software to be run on any windows PC. The software sha ll graphically display deformations and strain distributions over a 3D depiction of the geometry of the test article. The software shall also graphically display all data obtained from the high speed camera system as an overlay over the image taken of the test article. The user should be able to select transparency of the overlay images, and post processing features such as minimum/maximum, mean and standard deviation, time-slice extraction, stress-strain curve generation, and data extraction along lines. The analysis software shall include the capability to generate compressed AVI animations of strain distributions and deformation fields both from 3D and image-overlay contour plots. A video player with adjustable frame rate, single step functionality, a nd zooming, shall be included in the analysis software. Contour plots should be able to be saved in TIFF, JPG, PNG, PNM, and Bitmap formats. The software shall provide cut and paste interoperability with Microsoft Office Products on Windows Platforms. All measured results can be exported in ASCII format. Also results can be exported into various other standard formats (such as ACIS) for interoperability with CAD and FEM software. The system and software shall be capable of measuring the complet e strain tensor, as well as major and minor strains. Available strain measurements include Lagrange, logarithmic Lagrange (Hencky), Euler-Almansi, and logarithmic Euler-Almansi tensors. The software shall be capable of being optimized to utilize u p to 32 processors for data processing. Data processing rate for the software shall exceed 30, 00 data points per second for speedy post processing. T he software shall include an automated routine for performing stereo-calibration of the camera system. This calibration system shall include software tools for image adjustment, glare reduction, adaptive image threshol, etc. The software shall automatic ally correct for lens distortion as part of the calibration procedure. The software shall allow for camera disturbance correction so that the image software is recalibrated without acquiring of additional calibration images. This allows movemen t of the cameras and easy recalibration. Calibration can also be calibrated at full resolution and then this calibration may be applied to reduced resolution images. Data from multiple camera systems shall be represented in a common coordinate sy stem using a single additional calibration step. The software shall optimize accuracy of measurements by utilizing epipolar threshold, matchability threshold and confidence interval threshold. 5. Two (2) Zoom Telephoto 28-200mm f-mount Lens es Mounting system to allow camera baseline, working distance and stereo angle continuous adjustment. 6. Two (2) Carbon Fiber Tripods 7. Two (2) Magnesium Tripod Heads 8. One (1) Extruded Aluminum Channel Camera Mounting System <BR >9. Six (6) High-Intensity Gooseneck Halogen Lamps 10. Three (3) High-Intensity LED Stroboscope Lamps w/ Beam Focus Adjustment 11. One (1) Aluminum Calibration Grid Set 12. Two (2) 35 inch Soft-sided Tripod, Carrying Cases 13. Two (2) Hard-sided Carrying Cases for Calibration Grids, Lenses, and Lighting 14. Two (2) Hard-sided Carrying Cases for Photron Cameras 15. Three sets of Data Transfer and Power Cables. 16.
