About this opportunity

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, located in China Lake, California, intends to procure infrared camera equipment and related software components under a sole-source procurement. The specific items being acquired include one Compact Core Linear SLS with Camera, one LWIR Cold Filter, and one WinIRC SDK from IRCAMERA, LLC. This procurement is being conducted on an other-than-full-and-open-competition basis pursuant to FAR 6.302.1, justified by the specialized nature of the IR imager's proprietary interface, which is integrated with government-developed data acquisition software that has been extensively tested and validated for this specific equipment. Interested firms have until November 24, 2025—five days after the notice publication on November 18, 2025—to submit written capability statements referencing solicitation number N6893626Q5035 that demonstrate their experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the work without compromising quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule requirements. Firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at https://sam.gov/ to be considered for federal contracting opportunities.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. IRCAMERA, LLC, located at 30 South Calle Cesar Chavez Suite D, Santa Barbara, California 93103, is the identified sole-source contractor for this requirement. The notice does not specify an award value or budget range for this procurement. The acquisition involves a relatively small quantity of specialized equipment—one unit of the primary camera system along with one each of the supporting filter and software components—indicating a targeted, focused procurement for specific operational or research needs at the Naval Air Warfare Center facility.
