59 -- LONG WAVE INFRARED COLLIMATOR SOL N68936-98-R-00991 POC Glenda Downing, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7503 This is part two of a two part synopsis. In order to receive the complete description of this requirement refer to solicitation number N68936-98-R-0099. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation N68936-98-R-0099 is being issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a SIC Code of 3827. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-03 and DAC 91-12. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) intends to procure on a full and open competition basis one (1) each IR-2 Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) Collimator with the following Specifications: The infrared resistor array projector that will be used as the source for the collimator must be accommodated within the geometric volume described above and can be modeled as a rectangular volume for design purposes. The dimensions of the projector volume are 15 inches long (parallel to the optical axis of the projector), 12 inches high, and 9 inches wide. The resistor array is 26 mm on a side and is situated 1.25 inches behind the front surface of the representative volume. The center of the array is 6 inches above the base of the projector. To define a coordinate system for the projector volume, the center of the resistor array at the emitting surface is chosen as the origin. The coordinates for the corners of the projector volume are then (all coordinates are in inches): [13.75, 4.5, -6.0]; [-1.25, 4.5, -- -6.0]; [-1.25, -4.5, -6.0]; [13.75, -4.5, -6.0] [13.75, 4.5, 6.0]; [-1.25, 4.5, 6.0]; [-1.25, -4.5, 6.0]; [13.75, 4.5, -6.0]. The center of the resistive array is at [0,0,0] and the optic axis define by the normal to the resistor array plane is [X, 0, 0]. In addition the contractor shall provide the following Optical Design Parameters which include the measured optical design parameters of the LWIR Collimator. This information shall be sufficient for us to model the collimator on commercially available optical design software. The information provided shall include but is not limited to: 1. Radii of Curvature; 2. Axial spacings; 3. Center thicknesses; 4. Substrate materials; 5. Clear apertures; 6. Tilts; 7. Decenters; 8. Aspheric Coefficients, if applicable, with their definitions.; 9. Optical transmission (witness sample measurements are sufficient). The IR-2 Long wave Infrared (LWIR) Collimator shall be delivered to NAWCWPNS, China Lake, California 93555; 20 weeks after award of contract. FOB Destination.
