The current camera brand is Aries Industries (Explorer Model), now owned by Laval Underground, and the agency seeks a full replacement system including a motorized cart (winch).
The solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-aside for well cameras to be delivered to Nellis AFB, Nevada, with a 30-day delivery timeline after receipt of order. The procurement method is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach.
