New lenses for infrared array detectors

Solicitation number W7701-135599/A

Publication date

Closing date and time 2013/02/19 14:00 EST


    Description
    Trade Agreement: NONE
    Tendering Procedures: The bidder must supply Canadian goods
    and/or services
    Attachment: None
    Competitive Procurement Strategy: Lowest/Lower Bid
    Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
    Nature of Requirements: 
    (a) Title : New lenses for infrared array detectors
    
    (b) Objectives:
    
    The overall objective is to enable the efficient use of the MWIR
    and LWIR detectors of the PIRATES hyper-spectral imager on the
    AIRIS optical configuration.  This is done through the following:
    
    i)	Build new lenses for two IR array detectors (one MWIR and one
    LWIR) to improve detector illumination, its uniformity over
    detector area while minimizing vignetting.
    
    ii)	The spectral band pass of each lens must be:
    	1)	 MWIR detector: 2 to 5.3 µm
    	2)	 LWIR detector: 2 to 12 µm.
    
    (c) Delivery periods: 
    
    - The first deliverable (Initial report - Task 1) must be
    received on or before April 30, 2013.

    received on or before Mai 31, 2013.
    - The third deliverable (Lens elements - Task 3) must be
    received on or before August 31, 2013. This deliverable is
    subject to a Work Authorization process.
