UV Sensitive High-Speed Camera

The United States Air Force is seeking to acquire a UV Sensitive High-Speed Camera for the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. The camera should have a resolution of 1280x800, a minimum of 40 nanosecond exposure with 12-bit resolution on the sensor, UV sensitivity with a quantum efficiency of at least 70% at 300 nm, and weigh under 25 lbs. The camera should also have ethernet connectivity. • The proposed source is Vision Research, the OEM and only source capable of providing a camera meeting the Government's exact technical specifications and interoperability requirements. • Any attempt to source from another vendor would result in unacceptable performance risk, delivery delays, and potential compatibility issues. • The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13-106-1(b)(1). • The contract will be a firm fixed price contract.
