The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 issued a purchase order to Intertest, Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for $23,530.00 on September 17, 2026, under a total small business set-aside. The order procures thermal cameras and integrated systems designed to monitor bat activity in caves, mines, and roosting sites without white lighting that would disrupt bat behavior. The system combines a Sierra Olympia Viento 10 thermal camera with 60 Hz frame rate, custom IP67-rated housing with germanium-windowed interchangeable lenses, and a ruggedized tablet for power, live viewing, and image and video capture. Work is performed in Columbia, New Jersey. The purchase order is firm fixed price with an ultimate completion date of November 27, 2026. The contracting officer determined sole source authority under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures after market research found no other commercially available thermal camera system meeting the integrated requirements, including portability, no auxiliary battery dependence, and wet-environment operation capability.
