This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification, which outlines the rationale for procuring goods or services from a single source without full and open competition. It details the necessity for the acquisition, the statutory authority, market research conducted, and efforts to ensure competition.

• Contracting Activity: 30 CONS, Vandenberg SFB, CA.
• Requirement: Purchase of Vision Research's Phantom high-speed camera systems for the 2nd Range Operations Squadron to support space launch missions.
• Justification: The existing Phantom V341 camera systems are aging and unsupported. The new cameras must be compatible with existing mobile optics tracking systems, requiring a direct replacement with specific form, fit, and function. The proprietary Ethernet cable required for control is unique to Vision Research products.
• Supplies/Services: 4.2 Megapixel High-Speed Digital Camera systems with specific recording rates (9350 fps), internal RAM storage, removable storage, sensor type (CMOS), exposure time, ISO, and IRIG B time stamping. Also includes Phantom Camera Ethernet Cables.
• Authority: 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Implementation of Simplified Acquisition Procedures) and 41 U.S.C. 1903 (Special Emergency Procurement Authority).
• Market Research: Identified the requirement as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS). While other cameras met some specifications, only the Phantom KT-Series meets all required salient characteristics. Previous sole-source awards to Vision Research for similar cameras were noted.
• Competition: The requirement will be posted to SAM.gov to allow for quotes. Future acquisitions may involve an RFI or Sources Sought notice to assess competition.

This document indicates a sole-source justification for a specific brand of high-speed camera system. While it will be posted to SAM.gov for quotes, it highlights the specific technical requirements and the brand preference due to compatibility needs. Bidders offering compatible systems or authorized Vision Research dealers may be interested in responding.
