• The individual pixels on the sensor shall have square dimension of at most 18.5 m by 18.5 m with an ISO rating (ISO SSAT 12232 Standard) equal to at least 40,000.
• The camera shall have a minimum exposure setting of less than 100 ns.
• The camera shall have a minimum interframe time of less that 300 ns.
• The camera shall have at least 256 GB of on-board memory with a separate removable 2 TB non-volatile memory drive that will be used to store the full 256 GB of image data from the on-board memory.
• Data transfer to an external computer shall be provided by a high-speed 10 Gb ethernet interface.
• This camera shall be compatible with other Phantom cameras already owned by Langley for high-speed stereoscopic or tomographic flow visualization experiments and must have compatibility with Phantom camera controlling software.

The equipment needs to be shipped to Phantom Cameras, 4 South Marvin Street (Bldg. 1206), NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23681-2199. The Government anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price contract.

Quoters responding to this announcement shall submit their quote in accordance with Enclosure 2: FAR 52.212-1. Submission of quote shall include the following: (1) Technical Specifications and (2) Price (to include shipping).
