In an effort to mitigate the risks imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and protect DHS personnel, OCSO/HQS in the role on Federal Security Committee Designated Official (FSC DO) for the St. Elizabeths campus requires a brand name specified Infrared Cameras Incorporated (ICI) kiosk screening systems. The Department requires for five

(5) ICI IR Flash Screening Software (ICIIRFL) Included, and five (5) ICI Computers (CP) Included. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), only one source can provide the ICI Thermal Cameras Centurion Kiosk as the ICI Thermal Camera Centurion Kiosks are fully automated, unique and highly specialized as a Class One medical device.

This system is the only thermal camera screening system with the following specifications:

Highest Accuracy Thermal Cameras: ICIFM385 Thermal Cameras are accurate to within a fraction (0.1 to 0.3 Celsius) of one degree Celsius. The cameras contain top quality internal sensors, sophisticated software, leading optics, and ISO approved blackbody calibration. Highly accurate thermal cameras mean the safest and most reliable fever screening solution on the market today.

Detector: Microbolometer 384x288 Thermal sensitivity: <.05C @ 30°C Spectral range: 7.5~14μm Image frequency: 50/60Hz NTSC/PaL Accuracy (% of reading): ±0.2C° Image display: Displays real time color thermal images Operating temperature: -30°C~50°C Storage temperature: -40°C~70°C

Leading Certifications & Standards: A thermal camera used with humans is a

FDA regulated Class 1 Medical Device. ICI received FDA clearance 12 years ago and takes health and public safety seriously. As part of its commitment to the highest quality procedures and processes, it also follows the distinctive ISO 13154 requirements. They are the industry leader in certifications.

FDA Regulated Product: Thermal cameras used on humans are Class 1 Medical

Devices regulated by the FDA. ICI received FDA clearances in 2008 and 2010 setting ICI thermal cameras apart from other thermal screening solutions.

ISO Standards: ISO, the International Standards Organization, provides specific guidance on deployment, implementation, and operational guidelines for manufacturing processes globally. ISO 13154 applies to identifying febrile humans (those with fevers) using screening thermography (or thermal cameras).

This standard requires a blackbody, which ensures the highest quality accuracy.

3. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable based on one or more of the price analysis techniques described below in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3(a)(2). (Check one and provide short explanation or description of action taken):

____X____ Market Research.

_________ Comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.

_________ Current price List.

____X___ Comparison with similar items in a related industry.

_________ Comparison to IGCE.

_________ Contracting Officer’s personal knowledge.

_________ Other.

OCSO/HQS conducted market research on the similar products from other vendors. The results of the market research indicate other companies’ similar products lack the features required, lack mitigation standards, and do not meet the needs of temperature screening at the St. Elizabeths Campus. Procuring an alternate brand other than ICI Thermal Cameras Centurion Kiosk ICIFM384 will reduce temperature screening capabilities, increase cost, increase human resources demands, increase cross contamination risks, and reduce/eliminate social distancing as required per CDC guidelines. These systems are fully automated and dispense a sticker badge as an indicator of successfully passing temperature screening, which is a required capability to gain access into the St. Elizabeths Campus. Based on market research, additional contracts and human resources will have to be put in place to cover all the capabilities ICI Centurion Kiosk can provide. This is a total solution for temperature screening with
