About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research to identify sources capable of providing thermal optics technology to enable Guardian Angel (GA) teams to locate and track isolated personnel in contested environments, particularly maritime environments. The key requirements for the thermal optics system include having three channels (low light, day color, cooled medium wave IR thermal), featuring GPS, IR pointer, laser rangefinder, and digital media controller, and being Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable for data transfer with wireless remote control and streaming capabilities. The system must be man-portable, weigh no more than 5 pounds, and use commercially available or military common batteries. Respondents are asked to provide detailed product information, rough cost estimates, and details on any development required to meet the requirements. Responses are due by 12:00 PM ET on November 19, 2024 and should be submitted electronically to the provided points of contact.
This is an unrestricted procurement, with no set-aside designation. The Government has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. The contract value or budget range was not specified in the notice. The Government is seeking an unspecified quantity of the required thermal optics systems, with no details provided on the timeline for services.

This Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS)/Request for Information (RFI) is issued for informational purposes and market research only; it does not constitute a solicitation. The Government will not reimburse any company or individual for any expenses associated with preparing/submitting information in response to this posting. The information provided may be used by the Government in developing its acquisition strategy, statement of work/statement of objectives, and/or performance specifications.

The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare (SW) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing thermal optics technology to enable Guardian Angel (GA) teams to find, fix and track isolated personnel (IP) with limited power and resources, while limiting the time and exposure of personnel conducting searches over a wide area in contested environments, particularly maritime environments. GA requires an increased standoff capability with greater threat detection in order to locate IP in diverse environments for recovery operations. GA must increase the ability to connect, sense, detect, share and enhance battlefield awareness for mission success.
