This Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document details a procurement for a FLIR MWIR X8581 InSb Imager with f/2.5, 17mm, 25mm, 50mm, 100mm, and 200mm motorized lenses. The document justifies a single-source acquisition from an unnamed manufacturer due to integration requirements with existing signature measurement systems for aircraft signals, foreign threat ground targets, and countermeasures.

The justification emphasizes that switching to a new manufacturer would be extremely costly and time-consuming, given the current infrastructure of over 30+ FLIR imager systems and associated software licenses. The requirement will be posted to a USAF beta.sam.gov platform for competition among authorized contract holders, with market research indicating potential for adequate competition. The contracting office commits to monitoring the industry for future competitive acquisition opportunities and will thoroughly research any emerging technical requirements that might allow for a more competitive procurement approach.
