This Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document covers the procurement of FLIR MWIR X8581 InSb Imager f/2.5, 17mm, 25mm, 50mm, 100mm, and 200mm Motorized Lenses for the Air Force. The document justifies a single-source acquisition from a specific manufacturer due to integration requirements with existing signature measurement systems, ground targets, and countermeasures. Key justification points include compatibility with current infrastructure, the system being the only one meeting mission requirements, and the prohibitive cost of switching to a new manufacturer.

The procurement will be conducted as a competitive best value source selection, posted to the USAF beta.sam.gov platform and competed among authorized contract holders. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, citing time constraints, technical compatibility, and the significant investment in the current system's infrastructure. The office commits to monitoring the industry for potential future competitive alternatives and will conduct thorough research if alternative products meeting technical requirements are identified.
