This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source for specific camera equipment. NASA intends to purchase Teledyne FLIR cameras for an estimated period ending 9/30/2025, with a total quantity of 25 cameras across five different models: 15 Blackfly S 24.5 MP Mono, 3 Blackfly S 8.0 MP Color, 1 Blackfly S 5.0 MP Color, 3 Blackfly S 8.0 MP Mono, and 3 Oryx 5MP Color cameras.

The justification for sole-source procurement emphasizes existing software compatibility and familiarity with the Teledyne FLIR API/SDK. NASA argues that changing to a different camera vendor would require complete re-writing of software tools, potentially causing up to 2 years of additional cost and schedule delays. The document details the unique characteristics of the cameras, noting they are similar to previous SCALPSS equipment, and highlights that changing vendors would negatively impact government project timelines and development efforts.
