Statement of Work

Trincoular Microscope Acquisition

DLA Product Test Center, Columbus, Ohio

1. Mechanical Test Lab

22 April 2024

Requiring Activity: DLA Product Test Center Division, Mechanical Lab, located at Cols, Ohio. Contracting Activity:

DLA Contracting Services located at Cols, Ohio.

2. Introduction

This is a description of the DLA Product Test Center Division, Mechanical Lab, VTM, requirements for the procurement of a Trinocular Microscope with Software for Image Analysis, Photography, and Reporting. It is the intent here to clearly define all required performance characteristics. In generating this statement, our objective is to procure a Trinocular Microscope for Inspection, photographic capture, reporting and archiving of photos for the MPTC. This replaces a much less capable USB microscope and works with and improves the performance of our Olympus Inverted Metallograph (purchased in 2020). This acquisition will improve our image capture, archiving and reporting capabilities when performing microscopic analysis of exhibits, structures and other samples for the MPTC. Our objective is to minimize any impact to the MPTC operations and our customers because of this procurement, especially with regards to test cycle time. This equipment will decrease time required to photograph and archive information on intricate / delicate parts and permit the Lab personnel to create higher quality photographs and reports for our final test reports. This additional microscope (and accessories) will also provide photographs at magnifications that are currently not possible.

3. Background

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 7 OF 26 PAGES

SECTION C - SPECIFICATIONS/SOW/SOO/ORD (CONTINUED)

This equipment would increase the capability of the MPTC's Metallurgical/Materials Engineers to capture photos of exhibits at magnifications that have previously not been possible or that are in a size range not previously easy to photograph due to intermediate sizes between macro and microscopic. It will also provide more robust photography capability (like panorama/photo stitching) as well. Most importantly, procurement of this equipment will increase our current metallographic testing and reporting capacity.

4. Scope

Install one Olympus Microscope with magnification from about 1X to approximately 300X for macro samples.

5. Applicable Directives

None

6. Performance Requirements

The Contractor will install and provide training on the new Olympus Microscope in the Mechanical test lab.

Objective:

This is a description of the DLA Mechanical Product Test Center (MPTC) requirements for the procurement of an Evident (formerly Olympus) Trinocular Microscope, and PRECiV Digital Camera and advanced software for image analysis. It is the intent here to clearly define all required performance characteristics. In generating this statement, our objective is to end up with an advanced trinocular microscope, illumination sources, and imaging software that will add functionality to our existing Olympus inverted metallograph microscope.

This microscope, lighting system, and high-quality image capture and processing, storage and report production software adds to our existing metallographic microscope. It will use the same upgraded software for photographic capture, image processing, and report production. This acquisition will improve our testing capabilities when analyzing physical exhibits at a lower magnification than our metallographic microscope. The MPTC does not currently have advanced photographic capability in the magnification range from 1X to 50X. This purchase will add that capability and seamlessly work with the current Olympus inverted metallograph that was purchased in 2020. Our general objective is to minimize any impact to the MPTC operations and our customers, CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 9 OF 26 PAGES

SP4706-24-Q-0015

SECTION C - SPECIFICATIONS/SOW/SOO/ORD (CONTINUED)

especially with regards to test cycle time. This equipment will permit us to observe samples and capture photos at magnifications not currently available to us. In addition, the new software is an upgrade and will work with photos from both Olympus microscopes.

This will be a sole source purchase. Evident offers a competitively priced product with additional features that are required for the Mechanical Product Test Center (MPTC) to complete its mission. The Olympus Trinocular microscope and PRECiV software will work with our existing Olympus Inverted Metallographic Microscope. The current STREAM software on the Olympus Metallograph was replaced about two years ago, and by purchasing now, we gain an advantage of paying about 1/3rd the cost of the PRECiV license to upgrade. Other competitors do not offer this option. An increase of functionality will help improve the report generating capability of the MPTC for microscope photographic imaging and will broaden the scope of the MPTC's capabilities.

General Requirements:

The Trinocular Microscope must have the following:

1. The Trinocular Microscope must be new, not refurbished.

2. The microscope must have click-stops at major magnification levels so that they can be accessed quickly and repeatedly at the same magnification.

3. The microscope light path must be able to be split so that the view through both eyepieces must be the same as the view on the video screen/camera (viewed simultaneously).

4. The microscope must be outfitted with a controllable ring light as well as gooseneck illumination for non-flat samples.

5. Multiple objective lenses are desired so that magnifications from 1X to 7X or 8X viewing is possible as well as up to slightly over 300X are possible as well.

6. The software must work with both the Trinocular microscope and the MPTC's existing Olympus

Metallographic Microscope. It must be able to recognize the individual objective lenses on the Metallographic microscope for calculation of scaling on the photos taken during observation. (No known competitors offer this option.)

7. The software must provide easy modification of final reporting depending on the specifics of each exhibit being tested.

8. The software mut be able to adjust for slight rounding of the surface and have an Extended Focus Image (or equivalent) so that all regions will be adjusted and be in focus.

9. The software must be capable of image stitching of multiple photos to provide a larger stitched photo from smaller photos showing an image larger than the field of view of the camera.

10. The overall system must be capable of upgrading to add a digital microscope in the future and be able to handle input from all three microscopes.

Warranty:

Contractor shall provide a minimum of a one-year warranty on all components from the date of installation at the DLA Product Test Center, Mechanical Lab, VTM, Bldg. 9, Columbus, OH. The warranty will include all costs for repair or replacement as required.

Other Requirements:

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 10 OF 26 PAGES
