This notice 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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). ITEM NO: 1 QUANTITY: 1 DESIGN OF C-MOUNT LENS (ITEMS 3 & 4) ****ITEM WILL HAVE TO BE CUSTOM MADE BY VENDOR**** ITEM NO: 2 QUANTITY: 1 TOOLING FOR C-MOUNT LENS (ITEMS 3 & 4) ITEM NO: 3 QUANTITY: 1 C-MOUNT LENS FOR WAVELENGTH RANGE 1.2-3UM, RESOLUTION: 7 LP/MM ITEM NO: 4 QUANTITY: 1 C-MOUNT LENS FOR WAVELENGTH RANGE 3 -- 5UM, RESOLUTION: 4 LP/MM ITEM NO: 5 QUANTITY: 1 FOLDING MIRROR FOR MAXIMUM IR REFLECTION (REQUIRED FOR MAXIMUM WORKING DISTANCE) Specifications: The lenses, mirror and camera are to be used to image small spherical samples (2-4mm in diameter). The samples are to be locatedin a vacuum chamber located on an optical bench and viewed through a port hole. The following list describes the components in the optical path and constraints of the table: 1. Thickness of port window. 0.25 inches. Clear aperture of the port 1.88 inches 2. Port material sapphire. 3. Minimum/maximum distance of the front of the lens to the port. MINIMUM 3.5 inches MAXIMUM 4 feet (using mirror) 4. Distance to the mirror from the port -- Min/max MINIMUM 6 inches MAXIMUM 10 inches 5. Distance from port to table edge 16 inches 6. If mirror is required, MIRROR MUST HAVE WITH MAXIMUM REFLECTIVITY IN IR 7. Object size: MIN 2 mm MAX 4mm 8. Distance of object to the inside of the port window -- min/max. MINIIMUM 10.125 inches/MAXIMUM 10.375 inches 9. Magnification: We would like to have the object fill 75% of the vertical and horizontal active image area. Magnification should be at least 5X for 2 mm sample 10. Maximum overall length of the camera/lens combination when looking directly into the port. (2 feet) 11. Distance from the table top to the optical center line of the port in line with the object. This is to determine the maximum lens diameter. (10.5 inches) 12. Distance from mirror to front of lens- should optimize the design 13. Distortion less than or equal to 5% 14. Vignetting less than or equal to 35% 15. Lens for 1.2-3 micron range should provide a resolution of at least 7 line pairs per millimeter 16. Lens for 3-5 mircon range should provide a resolution of at least 4 line pairs per millimeter The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-6.
