About this file
This document is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum for a specific technical equipment purchase by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division. The procurement is for 4 low-size, -weight, and -power uncooled longwave infrared microbolometers, specifically the FLIR Boson 640+ brand manufactured by Teledyne Technologies. The justification for sole-source procurement is based on compatibility requirements with existing inventoried and DADMS-approved software, and custom hardware/software developed by Carderock engineers.
The procurement requires the specific FLIR Boson 640+ imagers to be received and funded by 30 September 2025. The memorandum details that Carderock engineers have invested significant labor hours creating custom software compatible with these specific imagers, and procuring alternative brands would result in incompatible equipment, increased labor hours, and additional software development costs. The document is signed by the Contracting Officer Michelle Siebeking-Knox on 6 June 2025, approving the sole-source solicitation under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines.
