FLIR Camera JA Signatures_Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a sole source contract with Teledyne FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc. for Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) cameras, hardware, and accessories for the MK70 Push program. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) requires these cameras to record infrared data from ballistics tests within Code M63 (Ballistics Test Branch), specifically capturing FLIR videos at proprietary sampling rates.

Market research was conducted with multiple infrared camera manufacturers, but none could meet all government requirements, particularly the frame rate needs. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on 13 May 2025, and a pre-solicitation synopsis was publicized on 2 June 2025, with no responses received. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but will be used for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding. Teledyne FLIR is deemed the only company capable of providing the specific camera system, with a planned delivery schedule of approximately 2 months (60 days) after contract award.
