67 -- Award Notice

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3663, FSC Code is 6760 and the size standard is 750 employees. NAICS is 334220. Simplified Acquisition Procedures -- award less than $100,000-- were followed. This purchase was for (1) one SU320MS-1.7 RT snapshot InGaAs NIR mini-camera. With snapshot exposure mode, the compact SU320MS-1.7RT InGaAs high-resolution, room-temperature video camera captures images from pulsed events or moving objects with unparalleled temporal control & sensitivity. This camera features Automatic Gain Control, gamma, offset & uniformity corrections. These and other operational modes are programmable via a palm pilot or other serial interface. The InGaAs system provides for pulsed laser beam profiling; machine vision of moving objects; thermal imaging greater than 150 degrees Celsius; free space communications; and hyperspectral imaging. This camera system features simultaneous exposure of whole array with 320x256 pixels of 25x25 mm w/100% fill. Additionally, the camera system has high sensitivity from 900nm to 1700nm, anti-blooming protection, programmable exposure—AGC& Gamma, all solid-state InGaAs imager, digital & analog outputs, compact size less than 290 cubic centimeters, stable operation over ambient temperature range of negative 10 degrees celsius to 40 degrees Celsius, low power less than 1.6W, and accepts standard C-mount lenses. Moreover, the camera is designed for near-infrared pulsed-laser characterization, the SU320MS-1.7RT Indium Gallium Arsenide camera provides triggered frame capture and simultaneous exposure of all pixels with minimum integration time of 128ms. The proprietary focal plane array, organized as a 320x256 pixel matrix of 25mm square pixels, delivers 100% fill factor and greater than 70% quantum efficiency from 1000 to 1600nm. The camera features anti-bloom design, and programmable real-time non-uniformity and gamma correction modes, automatic gain control and other operational settings. Like all SUI high performance InGaAs cameras, the SU320MS operates at room temperature. Video images can be displayed on any RS170 or CCIR compatible monitor using progressive or interlace scanning and/or output as 12-bit digital data to most commercially available digital frame-grabber boards. Award was made to Sierra-Olympic Technologies Inc. [SOTI] in the amount of 29,435.00.
