66 -- DUAL-BEAM SPECTROPHOTOMETER SOL F08651-95-R-0101 DUE 060795 POC Contact B. Hochmuth, (904) 882-5169, Contract Specialist, Contracting Officer, Bonnie Fitch. The Advanced Guidance Division of Wright Laboratory is seeking firms that have the capability to produce and deliver off-the-shelf a dual-beam spectrophotometer to be used to characterize materials used in the continued development of laser radar systems. The dual-beam spectrophotometer shall be capable of conducting absorption and transmission studies in a minimum wavelength range from 200 nanometers to 3000 nanometers. The spectral bandwidth in the ultraviolet and visible region shall be adjustable over a minimum range of 0.05 nanometers to 5.00 nanometers with increments between bandwidth settings equal to or better than 0.02 nanometers. The spectral bandwidth in the near infrared region shall be adjustable over a minimum range of 0.02 nanometers to 20.0 nanometers. The stray light measured at 220 nanometers and at 370 nanometers shall be equal to or better than 0.0001 percent transmission. The wavelength accuracy in the ultraviolet and visible region shall be equal to or better than 0.15 nanometers. The wavelength accuracy in the infrared region shall be equal to or better than 0.05 nanometers. Wavelength reproducibility in the infrared region shall be equal to or better than 0.08 nanometers. The photometric accuracy measured at 1A shall be equal or better to than 0.004A. The photometric accuracy measured at 0.5A shall be equal to or better than 0.002A. The data collection and analysis functions of the spectrophotometer shall be controlled separately by computer. Software shall allow collected data to be converted to a text format that can be interpreted by a PC-based text editor. Spectrophotometer control software shall allow the user to set scan wavelength limits, a constant scan speed, wavelength step size and slit width. The spectrophotometer shall be capable of scanning in a constant photometric value mode and in a constant slit width mode. The spectrophotometer must be upgradable to perform reflectance spectroscopy. Technical questions may be directed to Kent Broome at (904) 882-9443, ext 1259 or Ken Dinndorf, (904) 882-1726. Replies to this synopsis should be provided to AFDTC/PKOS, 205 W. D Avenue, Suite 541, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6862. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. (No contract award will be made on the basis of bids/proposals received in response to this synopsis.) Firms responding to this solicitation should reference F08651-95-B-0101 and indicate whether they are or are not a small or small disadvantaged business concern as defined in FAR 52.219-1 and 52.219-2 and whether they are a manufacturer or dealer/distributor. The Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto. Requests for copies of this solicitation must be in writing or fax (904) 882-9442. Telephone requests will not be honored. (0137)
