- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for four small, autonomous, eye-safe backscatter lidars at 532 nm with depolarization capability. Micro Pulse Lidar Specifications: Laser:Diode pumped solid state laser, frequency doubled to emit 532 nm laser pulses. 2500 Hz repetition rate, < 25 uJ/pulse energy. Output beam diameter <= 0.3 mm, M2 < 1.2. Pulse width < 15 ns. Windows control software and interface. Telescope: Athermal Cassegrain design, <= 200 mm. Detector: Single Photon Counting Module (SPCM) models SPCM-AQRH with darkcounts 20% transmission at laser wavelength. Receiver: 10%. Laser-FOV boresight centered accuracy 10 urad. Laser blur e-2 < 15 urad. Emitted laser pulse energy < 10 uJ, expanded to full telescope aperture, with spatial uniformity 10% about center of aperture. Laser-detector afterpulse < 500 Hz. Optical alignment temperature 20-30 C. Data System: Photon counting data capability, analog measurements of temperature and laser energy. Laser trigger control. Windows laptop software, USB interfaces. NIST traceable laser energy measurements to < 10% accuracy. Variable data averaging time from 1 second to 15 minutes. Binary data file output and storage. Real time software control and quick look visualization. Size, Weight, Power: < 400x400x1000 mm; < 30 kg; 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, < 10A Laser Safety: ANSI Class 2, CDRH compliance. Polarization Option: Measurement of co and cross polarization signal returns utilizing variable pulse switching data rates: maximum every pulse, minimum every 250 pulses. Ability to control rejection of polarization transition pulses from the signal averaging. Gain ratio between co and cross channels < 5%. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Sigma Space Corporation, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)as described in FAR Subpart 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Sigma Space Corporation is the only known manufacturer of the depolarization Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL). The depolarization MPL is based on the license they hold to sell commercial MPL products patented by NASA GSFC. The Sigma MPL instruments are already in wide spread use in the NASA MPLNET project, and are the only 532 nm lidar accepted for use in the MPLNET project. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Test Program For Certain Commercial Items under FAR Part 13.5. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities statement to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 2:30 p.m. local time on September 24, 2014. Such statements will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
