- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to identify potential sources capable of performing the effort described herein pursuant to FAR part 10, Market Research and FAR part 19, Small Business Programs. This is for planning purposes only. Any information submitted by respondents to this Source Sought Notice is voluntary. The Air Force does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or to otherwise pay for the information solicited. Respondents should not construe this notice as a commitment by the Air Force for any purpose, and should refrain from providing proprietary information in the response. 1.INTRODUCTION: This is the initial step in the planning process for a Fiber Optic Coupled Spectroradiometer. The 377 MSG/PKB at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico seeks sources to provide a Fiber Optic Coupled Spectroradiometer. See the specs sheet at the bottom of this document. 377 MSG/PKB anticipates conducting a competitive acquisition for this effort. The effort is expected to result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. NAICS code is anticipated to be 334516, size standard 1,000 Employees. 2.INSTRUCTIONS: All businesses capable of providing a Fiber Optic Coupled Spectroradiometer are invited to respond electronically. Responses shall include company name, address, DUNS number, CAGE code, point of contact with email address and telephone number, and indicate business size (small business, small disadvantaged business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business, woman-owned small business, or HUBZone) using NAICS 339113, size standard 750 Employees. The Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside for any subsequent acquisition based upon responses to this notice. Small business respondents should provide a statement of capabilities to assist the Air Force in making a set-aside decision. Statement of Capabilities are limited to 5 pages, and should demonstrate capability to provide items requested. Responses must be received no later than 21 June 2018 at 12:00pm MST, and addressed to SrA Dominick Flowers at dominick.flowers@us.af.mil. Spectroradiometer 1)Spectroradiometer must be controllable using LabVIEW software. 2)Spectroradiometer must have easily swappable junction at the fiber optic/spectroradiometer interface such that interface is reproducible after detachment and reattachment. "Keyed interface." 3)Spectrometer must include 2 sets of fiber optic cables with integrated cf or KF vacuum flanges (see below). 4)Spectroradiometer must have a spectral range of 280-2500 nm or greater. 5)The spectroradiometer's noise equivalent radiance factor must be 0.8e-9 Watts/cm2/nm/SR @ 400 nm, 1.2e-9 W/cm2/nm/SR @1500 nm, 1.8e-9 W/cm2/SR @2100 or lower. 6)Spectrometer must feature 3 fixed photodiode detector arrays. 7)1 year parts and labor warranty unlimited customer service. 8)Spectroradiometer should be "new". Software 1)Spectroradiometer package must include library of LabVIEW VIs for control of instrument using PC. 2)Measured spectra must be output as ASCII data files. Fiber Optic Cables 1)There must be 4 fiber optic cables with a length of at least 4 meters. 2)Each fiber optic cable must have integrated Conflat (CF) or Kwik Flange (KF) high vacuum flange integrated at halfway point of cable. 3)Vacuum side of cable must be shielded with flexible metal vacuum-compatible sheath. Shipping and insurance 1)Cost should include all shipping costs to Kirtland AFB, NM 87117 and any associated insurance costs for shipping.
