MEMORANDUM FOR MICC-Fort Drum

SUBJECT: Brand Name Exact Match Memo for FedBid Buy DRUMABNSOTDRMW0001

1. The Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate (ABNSOTD) of the US Army Operational Test Command (OTC) conducts operational tests of aerial delivery systems including personnel and cargo airdrops from high performance aircraft. Part of the test data includes video data collected using SONY PMW-F55 Cinealta 4K video cameras located on the ground. To safely collect video of aircraft dropping heavy equipment and the subsequent descent of the equipment to the ground, the videographers must be offset a safe distance from the aircraft release point and expected impact point. This safety offset creates the requirement to have a camera lens that provides ultra-telephoto zoom with long focal length performance. This lens must be fully compatible with our existing SONY PMW-F55 Cinealta 4K video cameras. The table below provides the only system that meets our requirements:

Item QTY CANON Cine-Servo 50-1000 T5.0-T8.9 PL/REG video lens, mfr part# 0438C002 1 MOVCAM 15mm aluminum rod, 12#/REG lens support, mfr part# MOV20600036 4 LANPARTE rods extension screw for MOVCAM support/REG, mfr part# LPTV2059 4 ANTON-BAUER digital V-mount battery, 190wh/REG, mfr part # 86750097 2 ANTON-BAUER performance dual charger/REG, mfr part# 84750122 1 SHAPE WLB inc. counter-weight rod block/REG, mfr part# PADCW2 1 SHAPE WLB inc. additional counter-weight/REG, mfr part# PADCW2PLUS 1 SONY PL adapter with 12-pin/REG, mfr part# LAFZPL12P 1 CANON 20pin male to a 12 pin female adapter/REG, mfr part# 1824A126 2 IDX System Technology C cable C-ZLPRO f/CANON CINE-SERVO LNS/REG, mfr part# CZLPRO 2

3. The list of equipment listed in the above table are the only known items that can satisfy the government’s requirement.

4. For the reasons listed above, ABNSOTD requests that these particular items be purchased to meet this requirement.
