TELEDYNE FLIR T540 BUNDLE
The US Geological Survey is conducting market research to determine availability of qualified vendors capable of providing a FLIR T540 thermal imaging camera bundle, with responses due September 11, 2026 at 1500 PST. This sources sought announcement is not a commitment to award and is for planning and acquisition strategy only.
The camera is intended for the Volcano Science Center's Volcano Disaster Assistance Program to support campaign monitoring of active volcanoes and rapid-response operations during volcanic unrest and eruptions, documenting and quantifying thermal features from ground-based and airborne observation locations. The system must meet minimum technical specifications including native infrared detector resolution of at least 464 × 348 pixels (up to 645,888 pixels with UltraMax), 14-degree lens with protective case, fully radiometric thermal imaging, high-temperature measurement capability to at least 1,500°C, thermal sensitivity with noise-equivalent temperature difference of approximately 40 mK or better at 30°C, temperature measurement accuracy of 2°C or 2% of reading, 30 Hz frame rate, interchangeable infrared optics, built-in macro mode to 71 m/pixel spot size, compatibility with FLIR Research Studio software, 180-degree rotating optical block with laser-assisted autofocus, handheld field configuration, on-camera visible-light imaging, field data storage with efficient transfer, rechargeable field-replaceable batteries, and environmental durability for remote and hazardous volcanic environments.
Applicable NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) with size standard 1,350; PSC is 6650 (Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories). Responses are limited to electronic mail only to yangzhi_deng@ios.doi.gov.
