This is the only known source that can provide an electron Multiplying CCD camera that can meet high sensitivity, high temporal resolution, and software requirements. The camera, components, and software must be capable of detecting single photons and being controlled remotely by user friendly data acquisition software. The camera must provide high sensitivity for low light conditions and high temporal resolution to allow for kinetic analysis of signal through integration over short time-frames (can achieve 35 full frames/sec.). The software must be evolved for use of third-party hardware, and particle tracking. The following Andor Technology items are required (quantity 1-each): CAT# DV887ECS-BV, IXON Electron Multiplying CCD Camera, CAT#CCI-22, RISC Micro controller; CAT#ANDORIQ-CORE, Acquisition and Analysis Software; CAT#P270, OTOSPLIT-2 Emission Image Splitter; CAT#PCB100, PCB 100 Series for External AOTF (3 lines); and CAT#ANDOR WORKSTATION, Imaging and analysis workstation.

Response must include detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet these requirements. Responses shall also include itemized pricing that is sufficient to make a determination that competition is feasible. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Andor Technology.
