The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Sierra-Olympia Technologies, Inc. (SOTI) for the delivery of a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera. The award, valued at $166,800.00, has a completion date of November 19, 2018. The contract is not set aside.
The original solicitation indicates this award is for two LSVRS multi-camera systems, which are sole-sourced to SOTI as the authorized distributor for the manufacturer, G5 Infrared, LLC. The LSVRS system integrates video from multiple cameras into a single image for laser detection of tactical aircrew designations, and the field of view of the cameras is a critical integration factor.
SOTI is a manufacturer of thermal imaging cameras and sensors that has received prior prime contract awards from federal agencies including the Department of the Navy, Department of Agriculture, and NASA, as well as subcontract awards with major defense contractors.
