- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is F04700-02-T-5028. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 97-24 and DFARs Change Notice (DCN) 20001213. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 333314. The Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. This acquisition will be a 100% small business set-aside. This acquisition must include the following Contract Line Item Numbers: CLIN 0001 Quantity (1) each, Zoom Lens Tracking System, Davro Optical Model Number DOS-Z127-100/1000. The Minimum Salient Characteristics apply: Optical: Lens Design--Refractor OFE with Refractive Zoom Optics; Clear Aperture -127 m. m. (5 inches); Focal Length -Zoom -102 m. m. (4 inches) to 1016 m. m. (40 inches); Geometrical f ratio -f/3 thru f/8; Resolution -.91 arc second -diffraction limited; Material--15 Glass Elements using a combination of varied indices of refraction for optical performance; Coatings -All air-glass surfaces coated with broadband Multi-layer Dielectric Anti-reflection Coatings ; Mechanical: Mechanical Construction -AluminumRuggedized to withstand minimum of 10 G 's shockload; Common Mounting Plate provided to support both the optical system and the camera; Camera Platform provided to establish proper alignment between camera and the optical axis; Window to protect lens (field replaceable) a. Full Aperture Window (5.25 inch. min.) b. Material -BK-7 Glass c. Anti-Reflection Coatings -MgF2 on inside surface; Finish--All exterior surfaces to be painted with Chromate Epoxy primer and #I7925 Epoxy Off White Paint; Remotely Controlled: Provide focusing range of 500 ft. to infinity; Actuation by processor controlled servo motor; Limit Stops -Servo axis is under redundant software and limit switch control to prevent over-travel; FOCUS setting and focus direction (near or far) controlled by switch closure; 3.4 -Serial communications port available for control and data readout if elected; P. D. Filtering: Matched sets of counter rotating neutral density filter wheels provide even attenuation across video format without altering geometric f ratio; Continuously variable density range of N. D. 0.0 (clear) to N. D. 4.0 (0.01% transmission); Boresight maintained through full range of attenuation; Limit Stops -Mechanism stops via limit switch Signal at full clear and maximum density to prevent over-travel; Manual control by switch closure. Drive requirements of mechanism are compatible with most auto-iris modules that read p-p video level; Serial communications port level control available with Auto/manual mode select if auto-iris option elected; Illuminated Reticle: The Reticle System defines the optical axis and remains fixed and stable relative to the optical ray-path; Reticle Lamp -24 V; Reticle pattern will only appear when selectively activated by operator; Reticle pattern to be agreed upon at time of contract award; Zoom System: Provides continuously variable zoom range from 102 m. m. (4.0") focal length to 1016 m. m. (40.0") focal length with concomitant f ratio change from f/3 to f/8; Zoom function has dual servo axes under microprocessor control to provide full focal length range with no focus shift; Boresight is accurately maintained throughout the full focal length range, and any slight minuscule drift is repeatable and can be modeled; Limit Stops -Servo axes are under redundant software and hardware limit switch control to prevent over-travel; Manual actuation of zoom function is enabled by switch closure signals and mechanism can be sequenced incrementally or continuously; 6.5 -Serial communications port available for control and data readout if elected; Purge System: System is sealed against dust and moisture; Purge ports are provided in the event moisture forms on any of the internal optical surfaces; System pressurized with dry Nitrogen to (5) PSI and must not drop more than (I) PSI in 48 hours; Pressure gauge included; Safety relief valve also included; Serial Communications Port Level Protocol/Command Set: GENERAL: BAUD RATE 9600; DATA SIZE: 8 BIT ASCII (D7 =O); PARITY: NON; LEVEL: RS-422 (differential line); HANDSHAKE: NONE the lens command language consists of a minimum of two ASCII characters terminated with a carriage return, and is mnemonic in composition; the lens will respond to input commands by an acknowledged or unrecognized command signal; the acknowledge will be followed by the desired mechanical sequence (i.e., change focus, zoom position, etc); all responses from the lens will be ASCII characters termined with a carriage return; if position data is required on the focus or zoom setting, the appropriate axis may be polled; the lens will output the desired information as a string of 6 ASCII hex digits followed by a [cr]; this allows very precise data to be generated on focus position and actual focal length settings of the lens during use; Lens Power Requirements: Lens requires 24V., D. C. (+/-2v) at minimum 5 A, to allow multiple functions to sequence simultaneously; Supply to lens powers microprocessor, and should be free of voltage spikes or dropouts to the extent practical. CONTRACTORS MUST COMPLY WITH DFARS 252.204-7004, REQUIRED CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (MAR 2000).
