SSJ LaVision Camera_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memorandum for a sole-source acquisition of a high-resolution camera and software from LaVision Inc. Code 7270 requires purchasing one LaVision high-resolution camera with specialized software and accessories to perform real-time testing on warfighting capabilities, specifically to enhance particle image velocimetry capabilities at the Acoustic Flow Facility. The DaVis 11 Software is the only available software that can integrate with the current system and adequately collect acoustic data, and procuring alternative software would require additional costly system modifications.

The justification memo cites sole-source procurement reasons including the software's unique integration capabilities, proprietary rights, and the fact that LaVision Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive distribution rights. The procurement is under the simplified acquisition threshold, and the document provides technical certification and approval for soliciting this single-source procurement from LaVision Inc., located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with the point of contact being Douglas Neal, Ph.D.
