Infrared camera kit

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA SSC) is seeking to procure an infrared camera kit, specifically a FLIR A700 camera or equivalent, through a competitive solicitation. The procurement requires a camera with technical specifications including a 640 x 480 IR resolution, 30 Hz frame rate, temperature range of -20 to 2000 C, interchangeable lenses, and compatibility with existing hardware. The solicitation follows a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach, meaning the contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose quote meets all technical requirements at the lowest price. Potential bidders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide two points of contact. Technical and contractual questions are due by May 21, 2025, which is also the proposal submission deadline. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 334513 for Navigational, Measuring, Electromedical, and Control Instruments Manufacturing.

The solicitation is set aside for full and open competition with no specific small business or other set-aside restrictions. While the exact award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single infrared camera kit designed for industrial and test cell environments. The camera must be rugged and capable of integrating with existing systems and previously acquired infrared imaging technologies. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the documentation. The place of performance is implied to be at a NASA facility, likely associated with the Shared Services Center. The procurement timeline suggests a relatively quick turnaround, with the solicitation posted on May 16, 2025, and responses due just five days later on May 21, 2025, indicating an urgent or time-sensitive equipment need.
