About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) is conducting a sources sought announcement for a USB Endoscopy Camera to support veterinary and field research on protected species such as sea turtles. The camera must be a high-resolution, 700-line color CCD camera with direct USB and analog connection capabilities, and compatibility with Debut Video Software.

Respondents must provide detailed equipment specifications, estimated costs, delivery schedules, their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, and their small business certification status. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to meet the technical requirements and provide a suitable solution for field research equipment used in high heat and humidity conditions.
This sources sought announcement is not a guaranteed solicitation and carries no set-aside designation, with the NAICS code 334516 and a size standard of 1,000 employees. Vendors are expected to specify whether they are a small business, including potential certifications such as HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, or 8(a) program status.
