63 -- SHORT RANGE THERMAL IMAGER -- FIXED DUE 082097 POC Ms. Heidi Bosinger-Waldron, Contract Manager, 617-377-7386; Capt. Henry Pandes, Contracting Officer, 617-377-6601. The Air Force has an immediate requirement to procure a Short Range Thermal Imager -- Fixed (SRTI-F) single site installation to meet urgent and compelling requirements for the protection of deployed security forces. The SRTI-F shall support and be compatible with a rapidly deployable (under 30 days) worldwide mission. A developmental effort is not feasible for this procurement and the use of commercial off-the-shelf and non-developmental items is required. The SRTI-F will assist security personnel in assessing the source of alarms emanating from intrusion detection sensors deployed on a fixed security perimeter. The SRTI-F shall meet operational requirements in all weather conditions during daylight, darkness, or in "dirty" battlefield conditions. The Government anticipates procuring a complete suite of equipment for a single site installation which can be installed, operated and maintained by deployed security forces and communication specialists. The SRTI-F suite shall include four segments: thermal imager/pan tilt mount segment, interconnect cable segment, display and control segment, and mounting system segment. The thermal imager segment shall be comprised of an outdoor rated, direct view, electro-optical thermal imaging system with an integral pan tilt. This segment shall be equal or equivalent to the Nytech Nightsight Series 200 and have a single field of view not less than 12 degrees x 6 degrees (horizontal x vertical) and image resolution of not less than 320 x 164 pixels. The interconnect cable segment shall be a single outdoor-rated shielded cable assembly for data, imagery and power transmission between the thermal imager segment and the display and control segment. The cable segment shall be terminated with outdoor rated mil-std or commercial equivalent connectors (ITT/Canon Tripen ring lock series or equivalent) and be a minimum of 100 meters. The SRTI-F shall have either internal or external surge suppression systems for all terminations and interconnects between all electronic segments,The display and control segment shall simultaneously display the video output of a minimum of two thermal imager segments and provide a joystick type control pad for each thermal imager segment. The display and control segment shall be based upon a commercial type, 19" width rack capable of vertically mounting at least two 12" Sony SSM-121 black & white monitors (or equivalent). The display & control segment shall have a single on-off switch and shall be free standing for placing on a desktop or other flat surface. The local power source for the installation is AC power so bidders must provide power conversion modules as part of one of the SRTI-F installation as required . The mounting segment shall enable the elevation of the thermal imager segment to a height of at least 12 feet using 4 foot sections of galvanized 2" pipe supporting a mounting box/plate with guy wires for stabilization or an equivalent method of mounting the system. A marine mounting ring or equivalent mounting interface is required to mount the Nightsight thermal imager segment to the mounting segment. Included in each mounting segment shall be an independent grounding circuit comprised of a single braided copper grounding cable and spike. An Operators Manuals and Installation Guide with check-out test section, trouble shooting guide and list of spares shall be provided. A one year commercial warranty shall be provided As a separate line item, offerors shall include second day, door-to-door airfreight shipment to Charleston AFB, SC. No transport insurance is required. The quantities for each segment are as follows: thermal imager segment -- 3 each, interconnect cable -- 3 each, Display and Control Segment -- one mounting rack for control of two thermal imager segments, including two monitors, three joystick controllers. Mounting segment two each. Manuals -- two each.
