16--16--purchase of a 0.6 milliradian cryo-cooled scanner detector

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service -Region 7 (Alaska) intends to award a sole source procurement to SenSytech, Imaging Group to provide one, 0.6 milliradian cryo-cooled scanner detector. The assembly must interface mechanically, electrically and optically with the SenSyTech Airborne Multi-spectral (AMS) and Airborne Bi-spectral (ABS) model systems. Combined with the scanner optics and data electronics the unit must produce a thermal scanner system with a 0.6 milliradian instantaneous field of view (IFOV) spatial resolution, be capable of collecting 2880 pixels of across track data per scan line, and operate at 77 degrees K without a requirement for liquid nitrogen cooling.The delivery date is August 29, 2003 This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and the government does not intend to accept proposals received.
