    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force (USAF), is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis for the A26-006 Handheld Scanners and Software, aimed at identifying potential sources capable of qualifying and producing portable 3D laser scanners. These scanners are required to capture accurate surface geometry for various applications, including inspection, reverse engineering, and as-built documentation, with essential features such as high-accuracy laser metrology, portability, and rapid data capture. Interested contractors are encouraged to submit a Contractor Capability Survey by January 20, 2026, detailing their capabilities and proposed specifications, with inquiries directed to Mark Todd at mark.todd.7@us.af.mil or Andrew Hutchcraft at andrew.hutchcraft@us.af.mil.

    The Department of the Air Force, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, specifically the 76th AMXG, is requesting funds to purchase two primary types of equipment. The first is a Handheld Self-Positioning Laser Scanner System, which includes a scanner unit, carrying case, USB cables, power supply, calibration plate, reflective targets, training material, a one-year warranty, and an acceptance test based on VGI/VDE 2334 part 3 standards. The second item is an Optical CMM Scanner Unit for Shop Floor Environments, consisting of a scanner unit, an eight-meter cable, a carrying case, an optical tracker with its own eight-meter cable, a carrying case, a universal power supply, adhesive targets, a ball head stand, and an acceptance test based on partial ISO 10360-12:2016 standards, focusing on probing size and length error.
    The United States Air Force (USAF) is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) for A26-006 Handheld Scanners and Software. This market survey aims to identify potential sources with the expertise, capabilities, and experience to qualify for and produce portable 3D laser scanners. The scanners must capture accurate surface geometry for industrial, engineering, and field-service applications, including inspection, reverse engineering, and as-built documentation. Key features include high-accuracy laser metrology, portability, rapid data capture, robust tracking, multi-surface handling, and dense point-cloud/mesh output with compatible software. The SSS encourages participation from both large and small businesses, including joint ventures, and requires interested contractors to submit a Contractor Capability Survey by January 20, 2026, detailing their proposed scanner's specifications, performance, software, services, and commerciality.
