Thermal Imaging Cameras

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of two (2) TELEDYNE FLIR K65 infrared thermal imaging cameras, with the option to consider "or equal" alternatives. The procurement specifically involves Marion County and the City of Salem jurisdictions. Each camera must be accompanied by comprehensive accessory components, including two batteries, a battery charger, hard transport case, carabineer strap, power supply, Torx screwdriver (T20), retractable lanyard, USB cable, and printed documentation. The cameras must comply with NFPA 1801-2021 standards and meet specific technical requirements for operational functionality. The evaluation criteria will focus on finding the quote that best serves the agency's interests, considering price, experience, expertise, product functionality, and suitability for the intended purpose. The quote submission deadline is November 3, 2021, at 2:00 PM PST, with an estimated delivery date of November 11, 2021, contingent upon purchase order issuance. All pricing must remain firm for 30 days, and the contracting agency reserves the sole discretion to determine whether proposed alternatives are equivalent to the specified brand name.

The RFQ documentation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documents. The procurement appears to be an open competitive process without apparent limitations on vendor participation. While precise budget ranges are not specified, the contract involves the purchase of two thermal imaging cameras with accompanying accessories, suggesting a moderate-value procurement. The contracting agency will make the award based on a comprehensive assessment of quotes, prioritizing both cost-effectiveness and technical merit. The procurement is structured to ensure the agency receives high-quality thermal imaging equipment that meets professional public safety standards, with flexibility for vendors to propose alternative solutions that match the specified performance criteria.
