The document is a Sources Sought announcement from the 60th Contracting Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, CA, regarding a requirement for nine (9) MOSKITO TI Laser Range Finders. These devices are essential for the 821 CRG's operations in harsh environments, as they can measure distances over 10,000 meters and are resistant to dust and humidity. The document specifies the technical requirements for the equipment, such as physical dimensions and power supply specifications. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to assess the availability of businesses, particularly small businesses, that can fulfill this request. It outlines the necessary response elements from interested vendors, establishes deadlines for submissions and questions, and clarifies that this is not a Request for Quote nor does it commit the government to a procurement action. This announcement serves as an initial step in gauging market capability while encouraging participation from diverse business groups. All responses submitted will become property of the government.

The 821 CRG at Travis AFB, CA, requires nine MOSKITO TI Laser Range Finders to enhance weather observation capabilities in austere environments. As mandated by Air Force weather doctrine AFMAN 15-111, these devices are essential for providing accurate visibility references both during day and night operations, particularly at tactical levels for land and aviation components. The MOSKITO TI is distinguished by its ability to observe distances of 10,000 meters or more and withstand challenging conditions like dust and humidity. The detailed specifications include dimensions, weight, and electrical requirements, noting its efficiency for extended observations. Deliveries are to occur at the designated location on Travis AFB. This acquisition aims to support mission planning and execution by delivering real-time weather intelligence, directly influencing the operational tempo and logistics strategies in field environments.
