STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS

TITLE: Purchase of high-resolution, high-speed camera

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Security Technologies Group (STG) in the Material Measurement Science Division of the Materials Measurement Laboratory at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD develops measurements and metrologies for impact protection materials. In this work, visualizing impact events is critical to developing quantitative measurements of performance for materials and systems. Impact types range from blunt impact to ballistics to highly controllable lab-based experiments. Materials range from millimeter scale materials to meter scale systems. The STG requires a high-speed, high-resolution camera for imaging. STG has a need for a monochrome, high-speed camera with greater than 4 MPx resolution. This camera shall be capable of accepting a range of lens mounts for Nikon and C-mount type lenses. It will be used as a free-standing record of impact events and integrated into instruments.

II. SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall provide one (1) camera system that meets the following minimum technical requirements. The Contractor shall deliver the instrument as described below.

System Requirements:

· Monochrome sensor

· 4 megapixel (MPx) image sensor or higher

· Minimum 1200 frames per second at full resolution

· Pixel size 20 µm or smaller

· Minimum 100,000 frames per second at reduced resolution (min (2048 x 8)). Vendor shall specify resolution (H x V) at 100,000 frame rate

· Minimum Exposure time 5 µS or better

· Minimum frame rate: 25 frames per second

· Global shutter

· Ability to use Nikon F-Type mount, T-mount, or C-mount

· Include adapters required to use F-mount, C-mount or T-mount

· Bit Depth 10-bit or better

· Minimum 32 GB internal recording memory or better Other Requirements:

· 120 VAC power, power supply included

· Operating temperature: 20 °C to 40 °C or wider

· Primary file format able export to .mp4, .avi, .tiff, .jpg format

· 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface

· Ability to sync via a frequency input or IRIG timecode

· Programmable delay, input trigger, and image-based auto trigger

· Input/Output Signals (min 3 ports)

· Dedicated input for hardware trigger

· Software compatible with Win10 and Matlab or Python, LabView SDK drivers

· O&M manual (electronic or hardcopy), one copy

Delivery:

The Contractor shall deliver the camera to NIST Gaithersburg, MD. During normal duty hours Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with the exception of Federal holidays. Delivery shall be within 60 days of contract award.

Installation:

Installation shall include, at a minimum, uncrating/unpacking of all equipment, set-up and hook-up of all equipment, start-up, demonstration of specifications, and removal of all trash. Instrument will operate to manufacturer’s specifications upon installation. Installation of the instrument shall be accomplished at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Installation will take place during normal business hours, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday except Federal Holidays, and will be coordinated with the NIST Subject Matter Expert (SME). Installation shall occur within 60 days of award.

Warranty:

The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a one year warranty for the equipment. The warranty shall cover all parts, labor and travel. The warranty shall commence upon acceptance by the government.

III. DELIVERABLES

IV. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

The Contractor shall demonstrate that all performance specifications are met.

V. GENERAL INFORMATION

Safety: The Contractor employee shall be responsible for knowing and complying with commercial installation safety prevention regulations. Such regulations include, but are not limited to, general safety, fire prevention, and waste disposal.

Security: NIST is a restricted campus. An identification badge is required for access for entry into buildings and also is shown to the armed Security Police when entering the campus.

Identification Badges: Contractor employees shall comply with NIST identification and access requirements. The Contractor shall provide the name and citizenship information of employees for on-site visits to the NIST SME prior to arrival. The SME will submit the name(s) and citizenship information to the NIST Office of Security in order for a given Contractor employee to enter the NIST campus. The Contractor employee is responsible for absences due to missing or expired identification and access documents. Each Contractor employee shall wear a visible identification badge provided by the NIST Security Office.

Vehicle Registration: All Contractor employees must register their vehicles with the NIST Security Office to gain access to the campus. A valid driver’s license, Government-furnished civilian ID (which in most cases can be a valid driver's license), proof of insurance and current registration must be presented to the NIST Security Office.
