This is a synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subparts 12.6 and 13.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation to be issued; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this Request for Quote is N00244-97-Q-9490. This solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition circular 45. This solicitation is issued on an unrestricted basis. FISC San Diego has a requirement for a thermal imaging camera to inspect bonded patches. Statement of work/specifications: 1)The camera shall be a fully calibrated focal plane array (FPA) camera capable of generating high resolution thermal images which can be stored to a solid state PCMCIA card, to standard analog video tape, and to a computer at 60Hz frame rate in either 8-bit or 12-bit digital video. 2) The focal plane array (FPA) detector shall contain 65,536 (e.g., 256 X 256) pixels minimum. 3) Each FPA detector element (pixel) must be individually calibrated for accuracy so that temperature measurements can be taken in the field, anywhere on the image, without the need for post-processing software. 4) The imager must have permanent multi-point non-uniformity correction, specific to each temperature range to eliminate the need for frequent field recalibrations. 5) The spectral band shall be between 3 & 5 mm. 6) The detector read rate shall be at least 60 frames per second (50 frames per second selectable). 7) Detector cooling by internal heat pump. There shall be no external cooling requirements. 8) The heat pump (cooler) shall have a demonstrated minimum life of 2000 hours or more. 9) Cool-down time shall not exceed 10 minutes throughout the operating temperature range. 10) the system shall consume 11 watts or less of power and shall be capable of operating 2.0 hours or more on a single, commercially available battery. 11) The camera shall have a standby mode wherein the electronics are turned off while the cooler continues to maintain the detector at cryogenic temperature. It shall also have a playback mode wherein the electronics function to allow viewing and analysis of stored images while the cooler is turned off. 12) the camera shall be sealed to permit extended use in a dirty industrial environment, and shall not require a cooling fan. 13) The camera shall be capable of measuring temperatures from -10 C to 450 C with minimum accuracy of +/- 2 C or 2% of the measured temperature, whichever is greater, without filters; and up to 1500 C with a single filter usable with all interchangeable lenses. The filter must be automatically recognized by the camera, and the proper calibration tables must be automatically installed. 14) Spatial resolution shall be 1.2 milliradians (mrad) or less with a 16 FOV lens. 15) Sensitivity (noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) @ 30 C) shall be better than 0.1 C. 16) The minimum resolvable temperature difference shall be 0.1 C at 0.25 cycles/mrad with a 16 lens. Alternate values that differ only as a result of a wider of narrower lens angle are acceptable. 17) The system shall have RS-170, NTSC Composite, and NTSC S-video outputs. Required output cables for each of these formats shall be provided. 18) The system shall have 8-bit and 12-bit digital video output and shall include a digital interface card for PC analysis. The required output cable shall be provided. 19) The digital video output shall be fully compatible with the latest version EchoTherm system from Thermal Wave Imaging, Inc. 20) Image update rate shall be at least 60 frames per second (50 frames per second selectable for European standard video). 21) The system shall be able to digitize and store images as either 8-bit or 12-bit files. 22) The system shall be able to record a minimum of 600 8-bit images or 300 12-bit images in an industry standard format such as BITMAP or TIFF on a single PCMCIA card that can be easily read by standardgraphics and word processing programs. 23) The camera shall have a freeze frame feature. 24) The system shall incorporate a high resolution color LCD eyepiece. 25) Electronic image zoom shall be available with ratios of 2:1 and 4:1. 26) The system shall have the ability to recall individual images from the PCMCIA card and to view all of the stored images, up to 16 images at a time in a tiled format on a single screen. The capability must be available in the basic hand-held unit without need for any other equipment. 27) The system must provide the following image analysis functions as a stand alone, battery-powered unit in the field: a.) A user positionable crosshair measurement mode with an absolute temperature display for the selected pixel. b.) A delta temperature mode that displays the relative temperature difference between two selected pixels. c.) The ability to display an on-screen temperature profile to depict the temperature gradients along a horizontal line on an image. d.) The ability to display a single, continuously variable isotherm which highlights an area of constant radiosity, and displays absolute temperature values for this area. e.) Be able to display the image in 256 level grey scale or in color with any of 8 selectable palettes showing up to 256 colors (temperature levels). 28) The system shall be a single integrated unit weighing 6 pounds or less complete with battery, lens, viewfinder and PCMCIA card. 29) The included standard lens shall have a field of view between 16 and 22 and shall focus from 9 inches or less to infinity. 30) The system must have automatic lens recognition that will automatically enter transmission values and other pertinent data for every lens currently available as a standard OEM accessory. In addition, each lens will come standard with temperature sensors to account for ambient temperature change ranging from -15 C to 50 C. 31) The warranty shall be for a minimum of one year on the entire camera and 1-1/2 years on the heat pump. 32) A 70G shock rating per IEC 68-2-6shall be achieved for the entire camera. 33) The camera shall have a remote focus control available as a standard feature. This capability shall be compatible with all available lenses. 34) The camera shall be remotely controllable through an RS-232 interface. Additional Requirements: 1)Delivery is required within 30 days of receipt of order or a loaner shall be provided until the system is delivered. The loaner may be provided directly to NADEP North Island for the required period, or it may remain in the custody of the supplier's representative who will bring it to the NADEP to accomplish production inspections at a rate not to exceed two aircraft per month. 2)Credit shall be allowed for turn-in of an Inframetrics model 600, liquid nitrogen cooled thermal imaging camera. The exact condition of this unit is unknown. It was fully functional when last used. It has been kept indoors, in its storage case, but has not been used or tested for approximately 6 years. Inspections and acceptance of the system will bedone by the contracting officer/ naval aviation depot administrator. The following clauses and provisions are applicable and hereby incorporated into the solicitation by reference and will be provided by the contracting officer in full text upon request.
