About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking to procure two high-specification cinema camera lenses through Request for Quote FA301625Q6147. The acquisition involves one Cooke 75mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic Prime Lens and one Cooke 32mm T2.2 Panchro/i Full Frame Prime Lens to replace current equipment for the 3d Audiovisual Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. These lenses must meet extensive technical requirements including full-frame capability, PL mount compatibility, real-time metadata transmission to Sony Venice cinema systems, 9-blade iris for smooth bokeh, temperature tolerance from -20C to +50C, and weather-resistant metal housing suitable for military field operations. The government will evaluate submissions using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, considering both total evaluated price and technical conformance to salient characteristics. Following Amendment 01, quotes must be submitted by 2:00 PM CST on Friday, July 11, 2025, to designated Air Force contracting personnel.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333310 for Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, requiring contractors to have fewer than 1,000 employees and current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). No specific incumbent contractors or award values are identified in the documentation, though the government expects delivery within 60 days of award on a firm fixed-price basis. The contract involves procuring exactly two specialized cinema lenses with highly specific technical parameters, including precise focal lengths, aperture ranges, and compatibility requirements with existing Sony Venice camera equipment. Performance will occur with delivery FOB Destination to JBSA Lackland, Texas 78236, supporting operations in San Antonio, Texas. The government intends to make a single award based on initial responses without conducting interchanges, though reserves the right to do so if deemed in the best interest of the government.
