FAR Part 12 Justification and Approval for Other

1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), 6515 Integrity Court, Bldg. 4310, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD21005

2. Description of Action: This proposed action is for the award of a Firm-Fixed- Price “Brand Name” Commercial contract to purchase FLIR Thermal Weapon Sight T-75 and accessories. This is a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) procurement under FMS Case GG-B-UEH, and funds will be utilized for this action.

3. Description of Services or Supplies: The Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM)- Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) has a requirement for the following:

Quantity of eighty (80) FLIR ThermoSightT-75 Advanced Clip-on Thermal weapon sights and eight (8) accessories kits for the country of Georgia, FMS case GG-B-UEH, Acquisition Requirements Package (ARP) AE25010.

4. Authority Cited: 41 U.S.C.1901 and 1903 as implemented by FAR 12.102 (b)

For acquisitions valued over the SAT, prepare a written justification and obtain approval of the justification as described in 6.104.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: The procurement of the Brand Name FLIR

ThermoSight T-75 is essential to meet the requirements for country’s operational and technical needs, including high-resolution thermal imaging, ruggedness, and compatibility with existing platforms. Qualifying an alternative system would result in additional costs for testing, integration, and training, potentially increasing the overall expense . Furthermore, alternatives could introduce significant time delays which could extend the timeline for award of a contract by approximately 9–18 months and negatively impact mission readiness.

6. Publicizing Contract Actions: This requirement is in accordance with FAR

12.102 (b) and is a brand name restriction over SAT. This justification will be redacted and posted with the combined synopsis/ solicitation on SAM.gov.

7. Efforts to Obtain Competition: In accordance with FAR 12.202 (b) To reduce the time required to solicit and award contracts for acquisitions valued over the SAT, combine the pre-solicitation notice and solicitation notice required by part 5.

As such, this action will be posted as a combined synopsis/solicitation. And the redacted brand name justification will be posted with this solicitation. Adequate

CUI - For Official Use Only

3 Dec 2025 competition is expected since there are known vendors who can provide these items.

a. Effective competition. It’s anticipated that effective competition will be attained via this action.

b. Subcontracting competition. Not Applicable.

8. Actions to Increase Competition: To increase competition, the combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov to allow potential offerors to provide quotes.

9. Market Research: Market research conducted on October 20, 2025, identified Teledyne FLIR, Own The Night, and Wills Optics as the potential vendors capable of meeting the requirements for the thermal sight. Teledyne FLIR, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the FLIR Thermal Sight T-75, is uniquely positioned to provide the system with full compatibility, proven performance, and direct support. Own The Night, a distributor of Teledyne FLIR products, was also identified as a potential source. Wills Optics, another vendor specializing in optical and thermal imaging systems, was reviewed but does not offer a product that matches the specifications and operational requirements of the T-75. No other vendors were found during the market research to offer a comparable product that meets the technical and performance standards outlined in the requirement. However, market research will continue for future similar procurements.

10. Other Facts: The FLIR ThermoSight T-75 is the preferred brand name due to its proven performance, proprietary technology, and cost efficiency. It provides high-resolution thermal imaging, seamless compatibility with existing platforms, and rugged durability built to MIL-STD-810 standards.

11. Technical/Requirements Certification: I certify that the supporting data under my cognizance which are included in the justification are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
