This notice is hereby issued as RFQ No EA133C-08-RQ-0005C. This RFQ and the incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-18. The line item(s) will be provided in accordance with the specifications listed herein. The prices shall be all inclusive of costs. All offers in response to this RFQ must be submitted NO LATER THAN April 07, 2008, 4:00 pm EST. The FAR clauses incorporated into this acquisition shall be: 52.212-1 Instruction to Offerors ? Commercial Items (Nov 2006), 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications ? Commercial Items (Nov 2005), 52.212-4 Contract to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders ? Commercial Items (Jun 2007), 52.217-6 Option for Increased Quantity (Mar 1989). Provisions and clauses are available for full text viewing and downloading by accessing the following website: www.arnet.gov. SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: 1. The analytical hyperspectral/multispectral imaging system (AHMIS) must be compatible with existing microscopes which are Olympus models: MVX10 Macroview and BX51W1 and interface with inverted and upright microscopes as an accessory with ease of exchangeability; the physical size should be small enough to be compatible with convenient microscope mounting 2. The AHMIS must acquire hyperspectral data simultaneously from entire microscopic field of view (FOV), with no movement of the specimen required 3. The AHMIS must contain a computer operated stage with less than or equal to 10nm step increments to provide the ability to scan an entire specimen or slide over a programmable time span 4. The AHMIS must contain a calibration system (high quality lamp system) and alignment tools 5. The AHMIS spectral range should equal or exceed 360-920nm; spectral accuracy should be equal to or less than 0.3nm over a range of 365-800nm; spectral resolution should be equal to 1 nm. 6. The AHMIS should include two (2) high quality CCD cameras with appropriate mounts, one a cooled CCD to acquire wavelength information (capable of obtaining a wavelength range of 365-920nm or greater) while the other to capture the visual image of the same field of view. The AHMIS spatial resolution should be less than 0.6 micron at the sample (e.g. at 25 micron slit width and with a 40X objective) 7. The AHMIS slit height must be equal to or less than 5 millimeters; Slit width equal to or less than 25 microns. 8. The AHMIS must contain software capable of controlling entire system ? e.g. cameras, spectrometer, movable stage, and data analysis/storage; capable of acquiring hyperspectral data on a pixel basis as well as sorting complex emission patterns for identification of individual fluorescent sources; must also provide standard spectroscopy functions including absorption, % reflection, % transmittance as well as CIE color measurement and standard file mathematical processes; the software should be capable of providing spectral histograms, spectral topographical mapping and enhancement (multi-scans) of the same area of interest over time; software should be capable of storing spectral patterns in a library to be used for future comparison; Operational software should be compatible with Microsoft XP Professional (upgrade to Microsoft Vista should be an option). Data processor should be compatible with Windows XP Professional.
