- Description
- This posting is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes ONLY. This is NOT a Request for Quotes (RFQ) or a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), Fort Dix is conducting market research. This is a sources sought to determine the availability and capability of small business manufacturers or small businesses capable of supplying a name brand or equal to the Foster + Freeman Crime Light 82S Forensic Light Source kits. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334516; Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. REQUIREMENTS: Headquarters US Army Criminal Investigation Command (CIDC) requires the use of an alternate light source at specific band widths in order to properly locate and identify fragile evidence at violent crime scenes. CIDC has a requirement for portability along with specificity of wavelength of light with minimal leakage, and brightness of light in order to identify the maximum number of evidentiary items of evidence. The light source must be sufficiently portable to be transported to and used at a wide variety of scenes. Army CID requires a light source that is portable enough to be transported to and used in a wide variety of crime scenes. The requirement is that the light source be battery operated for use in scenes without power readily available. The requirement is for 6 individual light sources that are specific to a particular wavelength of light for forensic use, peaking at 365 nm, 410 nm, 445, 480 nm, 530 nm, and 800-900 nm with no more than 10% bandwidth leakage. There is also a requirement for goggles that correspond to the various wavelengths that are similarly specific to the wavelengths required for forensic use. In addition to specificity we require a brightness that allows for searching a large area with minimal exposure to biohazards commonly found at a scene and with minimal disruption of the scene while the search is performed. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE SUPPORT: The contractor will provide the nine light sources (shipped to three separate locations) within 120 days after award, FOB destination. a.
