Description: This synopsis is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website located at http://www.fbo.gov, the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) website located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition website located at http://www.navsea.navy.mil/nswc/crane/working/contracting. FBO is the primary point of entry to be used when access to synopses and solicitations from the World Wide Web is required. However, the NECO webpage as well as the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition webpage serve as alternatives if the FBO website is unavailable MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: The Government is issuing this sources-sought announcement as part of a market survey for two separate compact, lightweight Dayscopes (herein referred to as śscope ť). The following desired characteristics will be provided for a medium range and long range scope. Threshold and Objective requirements are labeled respectively with a (T) or (O). Below are common characteristics desired from each scope: The scope shall attach to the weapon via a MIL-STD-1913 rail. Scope rings are acceptable for attachment. The scope shall have an adjustment that will allow continuously variable magnification. The scope shall be submersible to 66 ft of water (29.4 psig) without a dive bag for 2 hours. The scope shall have tactile windage and elevation boresight adjustments of 0.250 Minutes of Angle (MOA). The scope shall have the capability of switching to MIL boresight adjustments if a MIL measuring stadia reticle is utilized. The elevation turret shall have an adjustable zero stop. The turret shall lock at the zero stop location and require a one handed, one action release. The scope shall have a reticle in the optical path which is in focus and angularly correct for all magnifications. The reticle inside the scope shall be etched glass with MIL Measuring Stadia style. The reticle shall have the ability to be variably illuminated via a manual control and be turned off. The scope shall be designed with minimal parallax with an objective for zero parallax. The scope must be able to operate under multiple weather conditions and scenarios. The system must be ruggedized, environmentally sealed and be able to be powered with an internal battery source. Additional characteristics for each scope follows: 1: Medium Range Scope The length of the scope shall be no more than 14 ť (T); less than or equal to 10 ť (O). The scope shall weigh no more than 30 oz. The minimum magnification of the scope shall be no more than 4x (T); 3.5x (O). The maximum magnification of the scope shall be a minimum of 16x. The Min:Max magnification ratio of the scope shall be at least 1:4 (T), 1:8 (O). The objective lens shall be no greater than 50 mm. The scope shall have a minimum of 60 MOA of windage adjustment and a minimum of 90 MOA of elevation adjustment. The resolution in ArcSeconds of the scope shall be provided for min and max magnification. The scope shall exhibit neither damage nor degradation of performance and have no shift in Zero when subjected to recoil shock from 5.56mm and 7.62mm caliber weapons. Provide any details on the ability of the scope to include internal electronics including range finders (good for man sized targets out to 1000 yds), displays, a ballistic computer that would automatically indicate the point of aim, or any other technologies (O). 2: Long Range Scope The length of the scope shall be no more than 15.5 ť (T); less than or equal to 10 ť (O). The scope shall weigh no more than 32 oz The minimum magnification of the scope shall be no more than 5.5x (T); 5x (O). The maximum magnification of the scope shall be at least 22x. The Min:Max magnification ratio of the scope shall be at least 1:5 (T), 1:8 (O). The objective lens shall be no greater than 56 mm. The scope shall have a minimum of 60 MOA of windage adjustment and a minimum of 90 MOA of elevation adjustment. The resolution in ArcSeconds of the scope shall be provided for min and max magnification. The scope shall exhibit neither damage nor degradation of performance and have no shift in Zero when subjected to recoil shock from 0.300 Win Mag and 0.50 caliber weapons. Provide any details on the ability of the scope to include internal electronics including range finders (good for man sized targets out to 1000 yds), displays, a ballistic computer that would automatically indicate the point of aim, or any other technologies (O). 3: Reticle Selection After qualifying the scope with the MIL measuring stadia style, a different reticle would be desired to be inserted. The product information should include system size, weight, resolution, parallax, operational and storage temperatures, power requirements, availability, and cost data. Information should also include full system descriptions and maturity information. Potential candidates may range from prototypes to existing off the shelf solutions. All interested sources are encouraged to submit company and product literature, references and any other pertinent information. Firms having access to demonstrated research and prototyping capabilities in this area are invited to submit literature, not exceeding ten (10) pages of text, which describes the general approach, previous related work, and an estimate of overall time required and costs (rough order of magnitude) in the form of a White Paper. Interested organizations should respond by no later than 8 NOV 2010 by providing the Government the following information: Product Information (as listed above), White Paper (as listed above), point of contact, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, DUNS number, CAGE code and or tax ID number, as well as size category (large, small, small disadvantaged, etc) a brief summary of the company's capabilities, description of facilities, personnel, related manufacturing experience, and existing safety approvals. Also provide any additional information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This sources sought synopsis does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The U.S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. All information marked as proprietary information will be safeguarded to prevent disclosures to non-government personnel and entities. Your interest in this response is appreciated. Interested vendors should provide information regarding this announcement to: John Burkhardt, Code CXMMZB, Bldg 3291, NAVSURFWARCENDIV, Crane, IN 47522, telephone (812) 854-8879 or e-mail at: john.burkhardt@navy.mil. Technical questions regarding this announcement may be directed to Mr. Chad Macy, Special Operations Branch, Bldg 3291, NAVSURFWARCENDIV, Crane, IN 47522, telephone (812) 854-2268 or e-mail at: chad.macy@navy.mil
