Teledyne/flir accessories-parts-software-contract-brand only

The State of California has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-IS-26200480) for Teledyne/FLIR accessories, parts, and software on a brand-only basis, with a posting date of January 20, 2026 and a due date of February 5, 2026. This procurement seeks to establish a contract for the supply of Teledyne/FLIR branded thermal imaging and infrared equipment accessories, replacement parts, and associated software solutions to support state agency operations. The solicitation requires vendors to provide detailed product specifications, pricing, delivery schedules, and performance requirements aligned with the standardized market basket specifications established by the state. Bidders must demonstrate qualified vendor status and provide references documenting their experience with FLIR products and their ability to deliver accessories, parts, and software solutions. The evaluation criteria include bid responsiveness, vendor qualifications, compliance with state purchasing regulations, pricing competitiveness, and past performance with similar supply contracts. The state will utilize the market basket spreadsheet as the standardized pricing reference document to ensure consistent evaluation and comparison of bids across all responding vendors, allowing for transparent assessment of pricing competitiveness while maintaining product quality and brand consistency.

This procurement includes set-aside requirements for Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs), with vendors required to complete and submit the CBE Form to demonstrate eligibility and compliance with California's diversity and small business requirements. The brand-only specification restricts competition exclusively to authorized distributors and resellers of Teledyne/FLIR products, as the state has determined these offerings are uniquely suited to operational requirements and cannot be substituted with competing alternatives. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with comprehensive Information Security and Privacy Requirements, including implementation of NIST Cybersecurity Framework standards, NIST Special Publications, CIS Controls, and applicable California privacy laws such as the CCPA, with mandatory security assessments, incident response procedures, and audit capabilities. The contract structure supports bulk purchasing agreements typical of state procurement processes, enabling potential volume discounts and tiered pricing structures with periodic term renewals based on performance and continued demand for specified products and services. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the procurement documents provided, the market basket approach and master agreement structure indicate this represents a significant state purchasing vehicle for thermal imaging technology solutions across multiple California agencies.
