Accordingly, responsible quoters are being sought to fulfill the needs of the OTD for all of the following line items noting that a quotation will be honored and considered if the entire quotation delineates two (2) complete spectral light engine systems meeting or exceeding all of the following line items even if all line items are not quoted separately, noting that the minimum specifications include: A. Ability to combine two (2) spectral light engines together for continuous coverage over the 380 nm to 1100 nm or greater spectral range; B. Software which can control two (2) spectral light engines concurrently; C. Integrated feedback spectrometer; D. Short-term stability of equal to or better than 0.5%; E. Spectra changes of 140us or less; and F. Single ox unit design (integrated lamp and power supply) for each wavelength range. LINE ITEM 0001: Quantity one (1) each OneLight Spectra Near Infrared, Part #OSNIR 500, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; LINE ITEM 0002: Quantity two (2) each Liquid Light Guide 5mm x 2m, Part #LLG5-2, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; LINE ITEM 0003: Quantity two (2) each OneLight Feedback Spectrometer, Part #OSSPEC, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; LINE ITEM 0004: Quantity two (2) each Fiber Optic Patch Cord, 2M, Part #OFA-2, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; LINE ITEM 0005: Quantity two (2) each OneLight USB Power Meter with Detector and OSACS; Part #OSPPM, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; LINE ITEM 0006: Quantity one (1) each Spectra 500W Xenon Replacement Lamp Module, Part #LM500XE, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product; and LINE ITEM 0007: Quantity one (1) each OneLight Spectra Visible, Part #OSVIS 500, or similar item meeting or exceeding all of the specifications of this product.
