About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command, specifically the 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a FLIR RS6780 IR Camera or an equivalent alternative. The sources sought announcement seeks vendors capable of providing an infrared camera system with specific technical requirements, including an Indium Antimonide detector with 640x512 pixel resolution, 3.0-5.0mm spectral range, and a 50-250mm continuous metric zoom capability. This market research is designed to assess industry capabilities and interest in supplying a camera system that meets the 2nd Range Operation Squadron's technical specifications. Vendors must complete the attached Sources Sought Questionnaire, which requires detailed information about their product capabilities and potential alternatives to the specified FLIR RS6780 model. Responses must be submitted to Contract Specialist Noah Blake and Contracting Officer James Hluska by December 23, 2024, at 12:00 PM PST.
The pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, falling under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. While the announcement does not guarantee a contract award, it represents an opportunity for small businesses to demonstrate their capability to provide advanced infrared camera technology for space force operations. The camera must feature closed-cycle rotary cooling, an integrated filter wheel, and imaging capabilities ranging from 10C to 3000C. No specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed in the documentation. The government emphasizes that this is a purely informational and planning exercise, and vendors will not be compensated for preparing their responses to the sources sought questionnaire.
