Imperx C4191 Camera & Cables

NASA Shared Services Center is procuring two Imperx C4191 Cheetah CoaXPress cameras and three machine vision CoaXPress cables for flow visualization experiments at NASA Glenn Research Center. The cameras must meet specific technical requirements including 16 megapixels, 4096x4096 mono resolution, 120 fps capability, and utilize CoaXPress protocol for seamless integration with existing NASA imaging systems and control software. This is a brand-specific procurement justified by the critical compatibility requirements with current infrastructure, as alternative cameras would cause schedule delays and require costly modifications. The procurement will be awarded using lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, and all offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide required representations regarding business size and veteran status. Technical and contractual questions are due by August 15, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. CT, with quotes due by August 18, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. CT to the designated NASA contact.

This solicitation is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 333316 for Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, though the procurement specifies that only Imperx, Inc. equipment will be acceptable for this acquisition. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves purchasing two high-specification cameras with 16k ON Python sensors and three cables of varying lengths (20-meter and 2-meter configurations with HD-BNC connectors). The period of performance is 30 days after receipt of order, with delivery required to NASA Glenn Research Center located at 21000 Brookpark Road in Cleveland, Ohio. The government will handle installation of the equipment, relieving the vendor of installation responsibilities, and vendors must include their CAGE/UEI code, FOB destination terms, and lead time for delivery in their bids.
