67 -- SPECTROSCOPIC FORMAT BACKSIDE-ILLUMINATED CCD SENSOR ARRAY SYSTEM SOL RFQ3-151915 DUE 071400 POC Jon C. Schultz, Contract Specialist, Phone (216) 433-2764, Fax (216) 433-2480, Email Jon.C.Schultz@grc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22#RFQ3-1519 15. E-MAIL: Jon C. Schultz, Jon.C.Schultz@grc.nasa.gov. NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the following items: Item 1: 1 ea. PI BCCD System consisting of 1340X400 pixel backside-illuminated, thermoelectrically cooled scientific grade CCD camera for spectroscopy. EEV 36 Grade 1 CCD; 20 micron X 20 micron pixels, 7386-001 camera head, 7384-010 spectrometer mount, 7051-003 remote slit shutter. Roper Scientific Model No. SPEC-10 400B/TE; Item 2: 1 ea. PI Controller consisting of: Digital Camera Controller for above camera system; supports binning and subregion readout modes; dual 16-bit 100 KHZ and 1 MHZ ADC; 7355-0003 camera controller; 7323-0002 PCI interface with 25' cable; 6050-0321 camera head cable 10'; ST-133 Dual 16/100; 16/1M Model No.; Roper Scientific Model No. ST-133 Dual 16. Item 3: 1 ea. PI Software consisting of: 4412-0049 win-spec real-time spectroscopy software for above camera controller system. For Windows NT, supports high speed DMA data collection, visual basic programming capability, full featured help. Roper Scientific Model No. WINSPECNT. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from Roper Scientific,3660 Quakerbridge Rd., Trenton, NJ 08619-0000 under an approved Justification citing the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) -- Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Justification for Sole source is that the system is the only one available with large format backside-illuminated CCD array to provide the high quantum efficiency (>80% from 450 to 750 nm) needed for use as a Raman scattering sensor array. The requirement of a large format sensor with a minimum of 25 mm wide by 8 mm high is required for compatibility with a government owned Kaiser Optical Systems Raman spectrograph. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on July 14,2000. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
