- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Near Infrared Photon Counting Photomulitplier Tube: Near infrared photon counting systems, including a thermal-electrical cooled housing and high voltage system; Portable, with no external pluming or vacuum pump; Quantum efficiency: >10% at 1064 nm, >9% at 1570 nm; Gain: 7e6 at -800 volts; Dark current <0.8 uA at -800 volts and -60 deg Celsius; Active area: 1.6 mm diameter; Operating temperature: -60 deg. Celsius; Bias voltage: -500 V to -900 V; Operating ambient temperature range 5 to 40 deg. Celsius; Output pulse rise time: >0.9 ns; Output pulse fall time: >1.3 ns; Transient time spread: < 0.3 ns; Optical fiber adapter with FC connector; Mechanical shutter; Input electrical power: 90 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz; Weight: < 5 kg. Delivery between 5-8 weeks after award. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Hamamatsu Corp. The prospective vendor is the only acceptable supplier of turn-key InP/InGaAs photocathode NIR-PMT systems on the market. The highest quantum efficiency they have demonstrated is 9.0% at 1570nm wavelength. Photomultiplier tubes from other vendors that use different photocathode materials have quantum efficiency below 1% beyond 1000 nm and are not suitable for our experiment. Solid state detectors have too high an afterpulsing rate, and are not suitable for our experiments. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on March 11, 2008. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
