Photopic and scotopic transmission curves shall not include any wavelength scale. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a breach of security and appropriate Government action against the Offeror, and may result in immediate rejection of the proposal.

L.2.5 The proposal shall consist of the following:

L.2.5.1 Each proposal shall be submitted in the English language and consist of and include all of the following:

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

L.4.1. VOLUME II TECHNICAL FACTOR

L.4.1.1. Sub-Factor A FEASIBILITY

L.4.1.1.1. Offerors shall provide details on their Feasibility for producing of the MMO to meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Offerors shall provide any Test Data they may have resulting from tests on their current design. Data may be a result of tests conducted by the contractor, or tests conducted by a certified third party. Any test data that can substantiate the Offeror's claim to the performance of their design shall be submitted, if available. The Offeror shall describe how closely their current commercial design meets the requirements of the Purchase Description and if not, the necessary steps needed to achieve meeting the requirements.

L.4.1.1.2. The Offeror shall provide the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of their current commercial product, prior to any redesigns for this effort.

L.4.1.1.3. The Offeror shall also detail the proposed approach and provide substantiating information to meet all the requirements of the Purchase Description (PD), including the laser filter and the reticle. The Offeror's technical data, documentation and supporting rationale shall be complete, specific and substantially show how the offered MMO will meet the applicable requirements.

L.4.1.1.4. The substantiating information may include, but is not limited to, commercial literature or brochures, test data, historical information, analytical support, supporting rationale, design documentation, pictures and/or videos supporting conformance of the proposed MMO to the Purchase Description. The Offeror shall identify all design activity necessary to meet the performance requirements and provide any available substantiated data which supports that the proposed MMO will meet the Purchase Description requirements.

Validated test and inspection data which establishes conformance of the offered configuration to the required performance levels represents the most credible form of substantiating data. The Offeror shall provide test data for only the configuration being offered, not of a current design that does not fully meet MMO Purchase Description Requirements. The Offeror must demonstrate understanding of the optical requirements by presenting calculations for determining the proper optical characteristics. Any substantiating data will count towards the page limits of Volume II (technical).

L.4.1.1.5. Laser Protection Filters:

L.4.1.1.5.1. The unclassified terms of unclassified Purchase Description and secret ARDEC Drawing 19200:13010593 LFU Codes: Lambda 1 through Lambda 9 and OD1 through OD4 are provided for your convenience to report and document in unclassified formats. There shall be no mention of specific wavelength bands, laser wavelengths, rejection levels, optical densities, specific tests lasers and/or laser makes and models. Photopic and scotopic transmission curves shall not include any wavelength scale. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a breach of security and appropriate Government action against the Offeror, and may result in immediate rejection of the proposal.

L.4.1.1.5.2. The Offeror shall propose to meet all requirements for the laser rejection coatings and shall describe the specific filter technology planned to design and manufacture the laser filter optical element. The specific technology that will provide laser rejection level and throughput levels of the Purchase Description shall be described. The following specific areas shall be addressed in sufficient detail that demonstrates a complete technical understanding of the following:

a. General filter coating and absorbing glass design for Lambdas 1-9 and their relationship to both photopic and scotopic transmission.

b. The angle of incidence at the filter location (must be related to optical density).

L.4.1.1.5.3. Technical proposals that only mention a similar Army laser filter and assume the Government evaluator has specific performance knowledge of that "similar" filter may be found unacceptable.

L.4.1.1.6. Reticle Presence:

L.4.1.1.6.1. If the reticle is not of the embedded type, in addressing Reticle Presence, Purchase Description, and the Offeror shall also provide a certification…
