The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking sources for two specific Cooke prime cinema camera lenses: one 75mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic Prime Lens and one 32mm T2.2 Panchro/i Full Frame Prime Lens for Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. The lenses must meet strict technical specifications including full frame capability, PL mount compatibility, T2.2-T22 aperture range with 9-blade iris, and real-time metadata transmission capability with Sony Venice cinema camera systems. Additional requirements include a 46.31mm image circle, all-metal housing for field operations, and the ability to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -20C to +50C (-4F to +122F) for demanding military environments. The lenses must also feature 270-degree focus rotation, 90-degree aperture ring rotation, and 110mm front diameter for matte box compatibility, with minimal image distortion and no focus breathing. Interested contractors must submit their responses by June 16, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. CST, including firm details, UEI number, CAGE Code, and business size status.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 333310 for Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. The government plans to award delivery within 45 days after receipt of order to JBSA Randolph, TX 78150. No incumbent contractors or current award values are specified in this sources sought notice, as this is a market research effort for planning purposes only. The government emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation and no costs will be reimbursed for response preparation. A lifetime warranty is highly recommended for the equipment, reflecting the military's need for durable, long-lasting optical equipment in field operations.
