Used or remanufactured equipment shall not be considered for award. LINE ITEM 0001: Quantity two (2) Low Noise Amplified Mid-Infrared Detectors with warranty, in accordance with all requirements herein. LINE ITEM 0002: Quantity two (2) Amplified Mid-Infrared Photodetectors with Variable Gain and Bandwidth with warranty, in accordance with all requirements herein BACKGROUND The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Material Measurement Laboratory's Chemical Sciences Division has a project involving the development of an optical sensor for 14-C radiocarbon dioxide detection. In order to fully develop this mid-infrared optical sensor, the following instrumentation is needed. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS for LINE ITEM 0001: The Contractor shall provide two (2) Low Noise Amplified Mid-Infrared Detectors that meet the following minimum requirements: 1. Shall operate over the entire 2.0 - 5.0 μm wavelength range 2. Detector shall be a mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe, or commonly MCT) photoconductive detector 3. Peak response at 4.5 μm ± 1.0 μm 4. Photodetector shall be thermoelectrically cooled 5. Photodetector shall not require cooling liquids of any kind 6. Active area ≥1 mm2 7. Maximum bandwidth of ≥125 kHz 8. Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector required for detector output 9. Variable gain from 0 dB to 40 dB 10. Minimum achievable noise-equivalent power (NEP) of ≤5.0×10-11 W/√Hz 11. AC coupled 12. Actual photodiode must be housed inside a sealed detector package which contains all electrical circuitry required for proper detector operation 13. The detector packing must have a 8-32 tapped hole for optical post mounting 14. Power supply, power adaptor (100-120 VAC compatible), and all power cords required for normal operation must be included REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS for LINE ITEM 0002: The Contractor shall provide two (2) Amplified Mid-Infrared Photodetectors with Variable Gain and Bandwidth that meet the following minimum requirements: 1. Shall operate over the entire 1.0 - 5.8 μm wavelength range 2. Detector shall be an indium arsenide antimonide (InAsSb) photoconductive detector 3. Peak response at 4.5 μm ± 1.0 µm 4. Photodetector shall be thermoelectrically cooled 5. Photodetector must not require cooling liquids of any kind 6. Active area of detector shall have a diameter ≥1 mm 7. Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector required for detector output 8. Variable gain from 0 dB to 40 dB 9. Variable bandwidth up to or greater than 1.0 MHz 10. Minimum achievable noise-equivalent power (NEP) of ≤2.0×10-9 W/√Hz 11. AC coupled 12. Actual photodiode must be housed inside a sealed detector package which contains all electrical circuitry required for proper detector operation 13. The detector packing must have a 8-32 tapped hole for optical post mounting 14. Power supply, power adaptor (100-120 VAC compatible), and all power cords required for normal operation must be included WARRANTY The Contractor shall provide a warranty for all four detectors. Each warranty shall be one year in length, at a minimum, and shall include all parts, labor, and workmanship for the detectors. DELIVERY TERMS Detectors shall be delivered to NIST Gaithersburg MD location not later than 6 weeks from the date of award. Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination. FOB DESTINATION MEANS: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery. EVALUATION OF QUOTATIONS The Government will award a purchase order to the responsible quoter who provides the lowest price/technically acceptable quotation. The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if it is determined to be in the Government's best interest to do so. Technically Acceptable. Technically acceptable means the quoted equipment is new and meets all required specifications. PRICE The price of the lowest price/technically acceptable quotation will be evaluated to determine that the total price is consistent with the technical portion of the quotation and is a fair and reasonable overall price to the Government.
