Andor Cameras

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of Andor Cameras, specifically targeting ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. located in Concord, Massachusetts. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) after NASA determined that Andor Technology is the sole provider of the required specialized camera equipment. The acquisition will support operations at NASA Langley Research Center and falls under NAICS Code 334519 for commercial items and services. The notice serves as a formal announcement of NASA's intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement process. Performance of the contract will be located at NASA Langley Research Center, with the procurement managed by NASA's Shared Services Center.

The procurement seeks to acquire an intensified sCMOS camera for UV imaging to support molecular tagging velocity measurements, with highly specific technical requirements including at least 5.5 megapixels resolution, ultrashort 2 nanosecond intensifier gate capabilities, and UV sensitivity in the 200-300 nanometer range. Interested organizations may submit capability statements and qualifications in writing to the primary point of contact, Shanna Patterson, by 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 30, 2025. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement might be conducted competitively, though the final determination regarding full and open competition remains at NASA's discretion. The camera must be delivered to NASA Langley Research Center by the end of November 2025 and will be used alongside existing equipment to enable stereoscopic velocity measurements. Oral communications are not acceptable for this procurement, and all submissions must be provided in writing to be considered.
