- Description
- Sources sought for Vectronix 21 Nite or equivalent (NAICS 333314 Night vision optical device manufacturing) US Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) is seeking sources able to provide quantity 10 rangefinder binoculars of the Vectronix 21 Nite type or equivalent for a Foreign Military Sales case. The sought item is the VECTOR21 Nite with Photonis XR-5 tube or equivalent with the following capabilities and features: Rangefinder binocular - a single multifunctional optronic device with stereoscopic view, large objective aperture, Class 1 eyesafe laser rangefinder, and digital magnetic compass. The binocular must measure the polar vector from the observer's position to a target object (range, azimuth, vertical angle), and also display horizontal distance and height difference. The device must compute and display relative values between two remote objects such as delta slope distance between two objects. The device must be based on semiconductor diode lasers in combination with a multi-phase measurement systems, or other approach, in order to provide long service life and consume minimum energy. The device must have two 7x magnifying eyepiece with large exit pupils of at least 6mm diameter so that the eyes receive as much light as possible. The binocular field of view at 7x magnification must be at least 6.75 degrees (120 mils). There must be two 42mm or larger objectives with extended contrast and resolution characteristics so that a wide aperture produces clear and bright images under less than ideal illumination. A digital magnetic compass must be integrated that incorporates magnetic and gravitation sensors for inclination and bank. It must be capable of full three dimensional measurements to ensure correct readings even in inclined and tilted positions. The device must include a night capability through an image intensifier tube. When in image intensified mode, the device must provide a monocular field of view of at least 8 degrees (142 mils) at 4.5x magnification. The image intensifier for night must have a typical limiting resolution of 72 lp/mm or better, and a minimum high light level (>200 lux) resolution of 55 lp.mm. The modular transfer function must be typically 94% at 2.5 lp/mm, 85% at 7.5 lp/mm, 50% at 25 lp/mm, and 40% at 30 lp/mm. Signal to noise ration must be typically 28 at 108 ulx, with a minimum of 25. The minimum luminance dynamic range must be 1x10e-5 to 5x10e4 lux maximum. Mean time to failure of the image intensifier must be a minimum of 15,000 hours. Halo must be 0.8 mm typical. Output uniformity at 2850K must be typically 2:1. Image intensifier shock resistance must be a minimum of 500 g. Control of the device must be through no more than two buttons in order to achieve quick operation in any situation. Display results shall be superimposed on the scene being observed. There must be a brightness control display to ensure day or night reading without distraction. The device must be digital output capable via RS232 port and provide instant, error-free data transfer. Detection under daylight conditions of a 2.3 x 2.3 m NATO target of 10% reflectivity must be in excess of 7 km, and 1.5 km at night. Recognition must be at least at 4 km (day) and 0.5 km (night). Identification must be at least at 1.5 km (day) and 0.3 km (night). (Night is defined as 10 mlux, quarter moon.) The device must maintain operation in harsh environments of extreme cold, heat, and water. The device must provide over 6000 measurements on the energy of one 6V battery or less. The battery must be a standard type with worldwide commercial availability. Under night operation, the device must provide at least 2000 measurements over 24 hours. Answering this Market Survey Responses may be by electronic media sent to the email address provided herein. All that is required in the response is identification of the respondent, and a description of the capabilities of the vendor product. The responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a request for a formal proposal of any kind. The US Government is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The Government will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. Therefore any cost associated with the market survey submission is solely at the interested vendor's expense. The Government may in the future decide to pursue a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. If an interested responder qualifies for one of these classifications, please note that on the response. All responses to this market survey must be received 13 March 2016 at 4:00 PM CST. Please include the announcement number in your e-mail. All submittals should be submitted to: Patty Krawchuk (443-395-6961 patricia.m.krawchuk.civ@mail.mil) and Mark Conrad (443-395-7013, mark.g.conrad.civ@mail.mil).
