Purchase Order N0017315P3675

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Mouser Electronics, Inc. for a thermal imager with a ceiling value of $12,070. The contract was awarded on August 28, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2015, and was performed in Mansfield, Texas. No set-aside designation was used for this award, reflecting Mouser Electronics' status as a large business. Mouser Electronics, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and a global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors, serves as the prime contractor and has maintained an extensive history of supplying electronic components to defense and government agencies since its registration in SAM in 2001.

This procurement exemplifies ONR's role in acquiring specialized electronic equipment and components to support naval research and development initiatives. Mouser Electronics' role as a critical supplier of electronic hardware to multiple Department of Defense commands—including Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Naval Sea Systems Command—demonstrates the company's established capability in meeting defense requirements. The relatively short performance timeline of approximately two weeks suggests this was a time-sensitive procurement to replace or augment existing thermal imaging capabilities for an ongoing ONR research or operational requirement.
