Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Recommendation and Determination to solicit from one source or brand name for the acquisition of supplies or services. It justifies negotiating with a single vendor, Teledyne FLIR, LLC, for the FLIR A70 Thermal Camera.

• The FLIR A70 thermal camera is required due to its unique technical and programmatic capabilities.

• Compatibility with existing hardware, software infrastructure, and established knowledge base is critical.

• Superior optical performance, optimal focal length, and minimum focus distance are specified.

• Compact and lightweight design (4.21 × 2.64 × 2.24 inches, approx. 1.1 pounds) is necessary for integration constraints.

• Compatibility with existing custom data acquisition software (Python-based) is a key factor.

• The estimated cost is to be entered, and the estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 30 Days After Receipt of Order (ARO).

Not applicable, as this document justifies a sole-source acquisition.

This is a sole-source justification, indicating no set-aside or specific eligibility requirements for multiple vendors.

• Competition is deemed impractical due to the unique characteristics of the FLIR A70 camera and the risks associated with integrating an alternative brand.
• Significant risks to cost, schedule, and system compatibility are identified if a different vendor or brand is used.
• The strict 8-month timeline for an Interagency Agreement necessitates avoiding the risks of redevelopment and validation associated with alternative solutions.
