Description

This is a combined sole source synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in 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. The Request for Proposal number for this acquisition is for MDA113-00-T-0009. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular 97-23 (Initial Effective Date 20 Feb 01). This is a sole source requirement being pursued with Davro Optical Systems in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Final delivery date for the first unit is requested on 01 Nov 2001, second unit is due on 03 Dec 2001, third unit is due on 3 Jan 2002 and fourth unit is due on 05 Feb 2002. FOB Point is Destination. Delivery is to be made to the Range Operations at Vandenberg AFB CA. Responses to this notice shall be in writing and make reference to this RFP. There is one contract line item for four (4) each DOS-Z300-820/6400-AP Zoom Lens Systems. The following is a description of the requirements: DESCRIPTION/SPECS/WORK STATEMENT -- - SPECIFICATIONS: MODEL NO. DOS-Z300-820/6400-AP Optical: 1.0 Lens Design: Maksutov Cassegrain 1.1 Clear Aperture: 2 inches (305 mm) 1.2 Focal Length: Zoom 820 mm (32.3 inches) to 6400 mm (252 inches) 1.3 Geometrical f ratio: f/3.5 thru f/20.98 1.4 Resolution: 0.38 arc seconds (diffraction limited) 1.5 Material: Primary Mirror Pyrex Corrector Lens BK-7, Focusing Lens BK-7 Field Replaceable Front Window BK-7 1.6 Coatings: All reflective surfaces Enhanced Aluminum All air-glass surfaces AR with MgF2. Mechanical: 2.0 Construction: Aluminum 2.1 Shock Load: Ruggedized to withstand minimum of 10 G's hock load. 2.2 Mounting Plate: Common mounting plate provided to support both the optical system and the camera. 2.3 Camera Platform: Camera Platform provided to establish proper alignment between camera and the optical axis. 2.4 Finish: All exterior surfaces to be painted with Chromate, Epoxy primer and #17925 Epoxy Off White Paint. Remotely Controlled Focus: 3.0 Provide focusing range of 1,000 ft. to infinity. 3.1 Actuation by microprocessor controlled servomotor. 3.2 Limit Stops Servo axis is under redundant software and hardware limit switch control to prevent over-travel. 3.3 Focus setting and focus direction (near and far) controlled by switch closure. 3.4 Serial communications port available for control and data readout if elected. N. D. Filtering: 4.0 Matched set of counter rotating neutral density filter wheels provide even attenuation across video format without altering geometric f ratio. 4.1 Continuously variable density range of N.D. 0.0 (clear) to N.D. 4.0 (0.01% transmission). 4.2 Boresight maintained through full range of attenuation. 4.3 Limit Stops Mechanism stops via limit switch signal at full clear and maximum density to prevent over-travel. MODEL NO. DOS-Z300-820/6400-AP 4.4 Manual control by switch closure. Drive requirements of mechanism are compatible with most auto-iris modules that read p-p video level. 4.5 Serial communications port level control available with auto/manual mode select if auto-iris option elected. Camera Alignment Reticle: 5.0 The camera alignment reticle is used for camera alignment only. 5.1 The reticle will only appear when selectively activated by the operator. 5.2 The reticle defines the optical axis and focal plane of the intermediate image. It is used only to determine the correct linear position and centering of the camera. 5.3 The reticle is moved into and out of the optical path via a 24V motor. Zoom System: 6.0 Provides continuously variable zoom range from 820-millimeter focal length to 6,400-millimeter focal length with concomitant f ratio change from f/3.5 to f/20.98. 6.1 Zoom function has dual servo axes under microprocessor control to provide full focal length range and maintain accurate focus. 6.2 Boresight is accurately maintained throughout the full focal length range, and any slight minuscule drift is repeatable and can be modeled. 6.3 Limit Stops Servo axes are under redundant software and hardware limit switch control to prevent over-travel. 6.4 Serial communications port available for control and data readout if elected. Dry Air Purge System: 7.0 System is sealed against dust and moisture. 7.1 Purge ports are provided in the event moisture forms on any of the internal optical surfaces. 7.2 System pressurized with dry Nitrogen. 7.3 Pressure gauge included. 7.4 Safety Relief Valve also included. 7.5 Desiccant cartridges installed for added protection. Serial Communications Port Level Protocol/Command Set: GENERAL: BAUD RATE 9600 DATA SIZE: 8 BIT ASCII (D7 = 0) PARITY: NONE LEVEL: RS-422 (differential line) HANDSHAKE: NONE MODEL NO. DOS-Z300-820/6400-AP 8.0 The lens command language consists of a minimum of two ASCII characters terminated with a carriage return, and is mnemonic in composition. The lens will respond to input commands by an acknowledge or unrecognized command signal. The acknowledge will be followed by the desired mechanical sequence (i.e. change focus, zoom, position, etc.). All responses from the lens will be ASCII characters terminated with a carriage return. 8.1 If position data is required on the focus or zoom setting, the appropriate axis may be polled. The lens will output the desired information as a string of 6 ASCII hex digits followed by a [cr]. This allows very precise data to be generated on focus position and actual focal length settings of the lens during use. Lens Power Requirements: 9.0 Lens requires 24 Volts D.C. (+/-2 Volts) at minimum 5 Amps, to allow multiple functions to sequence simultaneously. 9.1 Supply to lens powers microprocessor, and should be free of voltage spikes or dropouts to the extent practical. The following clauses are applicable to this procurement: FAR 52.212-1, "Instruction to Offerors Commercial Items," FAR 52.212-4 "Contract Terms and conditions Commercial Items," FAR 52.212-5 (Deviation), Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Commercial Items," 52.232-33 "Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer Central Contractor Registration," 52.0233-4001 Protest After Award," 52.247-34 "FOB Destination," 52.252-1 "Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference," 52.252-2 "Contract Clauses Incorporated by Reference," 52.253-1 "Computer Generated Forms," DFARS 252.204-7004, "Required Central Contractor Registration," DFARS 252.212-7000 " Offeror Representations and Certifications Commercial Items," DFARS 252.212-7001 (Deviation), "Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive," FAR 52.212-2 does not apply to this requirement; price is the only factor to be evaluated. The Offeror shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, "Offerors Representation and Certifications Commercial Items" with its offer. An offer must be submitted no later than 29 MAR 2001, 2:00 PM PST. The point of contact for this solicitation is Fayette S. White (909) 413-2416. Contracting Officer is Robert W. Gilmore.
