Alternate Light Source

The State of California Department of Justice is procuring an Alternate Light Source with Oblique and Coax 120V, which is an all-in-one forensic evidence imaging system. The system must include a full spectrum UV-Vis-IR camera with 55 illumination wavebands, an integrated camera with an ATS-C sensor, an external rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with up to 3 hours of runtime, a motorized filter wheel with intelligent filter selection, and a carry case with a shoulder strap. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and the due date for quotes is October 7, 2024. The procurement will be made on an "all or nothing" basis.

The Request for Quote (RFQ) includes requirements related to small business (SB) and non-small business subcontractor preferences. The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program requirements are waived, but the DVBE incentive applies. The RFQ provides details on the required documentation, including the Bidder Declaration Form, Recycled Content Certification Form, Darfur Contracting Act Certification Form, and DVBE Declarations. The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and there is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
