- 1. Sources Sought Synopsis: INTRODUCTION Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) is seeking qualified Small Business concerns to provide Portable Forensic Light Source. This is not a solicitation. This notice neither constitutes a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict WHS/AD to the ultimate acquisition approach. Responses from small business concerns is requested including Small Businesses, 8(a) small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses and Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Businesses. Responses will be used to support Market Research being conducted by WHS/AD in accordance with FAR Part 10 and DFARS Part 210 to determine the availability and capability of small business manufacturers or small businesses capable of supplying a name brand or equal to the Foster + Freeman Crime Light 82S Forensic Light Source kits described in this notice. It is also a tool to obtain information on commercially available Portable forensic Light Source. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this Sources Sought is 335129 - Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing with a size standard of 500 employees. This is a sources sought to determine. Responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No contract will be awarded from this announcement and requests for solicitation will not receive a response. This Sources Sought is for information purposes only and shall not be construed as a commitment or a promise of a contract by the Government. No reimbursement will be made for any cost associated with providing information in response to this notice. Any information submitted by respondents is strictly voluntary. Respondents shall not submit any proprietary information and note that the Government will not return any information submitted. Required format: Respondents shall submit capability brief that clearly define the firm's ability to provide a portable forensic light source as stated in this sources sought notice. For capabilities statements, there is a maximum page limitation of 5 typed pages that are single spaced using 12 inch Times New Roman font within an 8.5 by 11 inches page size. No hard copy or facsimile submissions will be accepted. The maximum page limitation does not include informational brochures or pamphlets or sample copies of the software that may be provided. OBJECTIVE The Government requires the use of an alternate light source at specific band widths in order to properly locate and identify fragile evidence crime. PFPA has a requirement for portability along with specificity of wavelength of light with minimal leakage, and brightness of light in order to identify the maximum number of evidentiary items of evidence. The light source must be sufficiently portable to be transported to and used at a wide variety of scenes. PFPA requires a light source that is portable enough to be transported to and used in a wide variety of situations. The requirement is that the light source be battery operated for use in situations without power readily available. Multiple high-powered LEOs provide very intense yet narrow waveband output in a compact portable design equal to the Crime-light 82 series design. Key features inlcude: • Each light contain 16 high-efficiency LEOs (7 in UV model) • Long-lifetime light sources provide up to 50,000 hours operation • Compact design weighs approximately one and a quarter pounds (560g) • Viewing goggles use anti-glare, optical-quality filter glass • Single waveband output with no interchangeable heads • Nine wavebands available, including UV, Violet, Blue, Blue/Green, Green, Orange, Red, Infra-Red and White. • Certificate of actual output spectrum supplied with each light source • No lamps to replace • External, rechargeable Lithium ion battery pack with 22 minute recharge • 82L offers dimmable grazing light, specifically designed to illuminate forensic evidence such as shoeprints in dust, trace evidence, indented writing, etc. • Angled compact heads for ease of use. • Lightweight, high capacity batteries • Constructed from anodized aluminum • Up to 3 hours of operating time on fully charged battery Lightweight design (operationally weight is less than 3lbs including battery), and folds up to fit in a case slightly larger than standard briefcase. PFPA requires the purchase of one (1) C ri m e - l i t e 82 L a nd C r i m e - lite 8 2 S White, UV, Violet, Blue, Blue/Green, Green, Orange & Red mixed cased set (QCL/82SL/9KIT) that meets the following description / features and requirements.
