This memorandum details the Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground - Natick Division's intention to procure specialized equipment through a limited competition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The new requirement involves acquiring specific items including a midwave camera sensor and accompanying lenses, as well as calibration services and software for analysis. The procurement will utilize an open market contract and is designated as a Firm Fixed Price contract funded by the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation budget for FY 2024. The justification for limiting competition is based on brand name specifications and the unique capabilities of the required equipment. The document cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), emphasizing that only one source is reasonably available for these specific needs. The intended delivery timeframe is 90 days post-contract award, with the total estimated value undisclosed in the memo. This undertaking reflects the Army's commitment to acquiring specialized technology essential for research and operational effectiveness.

The Combat Capabilities Development Command - Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC) is soliciting a midwave sensor, specifically a thermal imaging camera with precise specifications. Required features include a Midwave Infrared (MWIR) sensor operating within a spectral range of 1-5 microns, along with a 50 mm lens and a 100 mm lens assembly kit. Calibration needs to span temperatures from -20 to 300°C, and the project requires associated data analysis software. The selected contractor must deliver all items, including calibration and software, within 90 days post-contract award. Invoicing will occur via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system after delivery confirmation. Items must be shipped to the DEVCOM Soldier Center located at 15 General Greene Ave, Natick, MA. This request illustrates the government’s emphasis on advanced optical technologies for military applications, ensuring equipment meets stringent operational specifications for effective thermal imaging capabilities.

The Combat Capabilities Development Command - Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC) is seeking a contractor to supply a midwave infrared (MWIR) thermal imaging camera and associated components. Specifically, the requirements include an InSb camera sensor with a spectral range of 1-5 microns, a 50 mm lens designed for this range, a 100 mm lens assembly kit, and accompanying software for data analysis. The contractor is expected to deliver these items within 90 days post-award to the specified shipping address in Natick, MA. Invoicing must occur through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system upon confirmation of item receipt. This RFP emphasizes the necessity for advanced optical technology in military applications, reflecting the need for precise thermal imaging capabilities for situational awareness and operational effectiveness.

The Combat Capabilities Development Command - Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC) requires a midwave thermal imaging sensor as specified in their recent request for proposals. The primary deliverables include a midwave infrared (MWIR) camera with an indium antimonide (InSb) spectral range of 1-5 microns, along with a 50 mm lens, a 100 mm lens assembly kit, calibration capabilities from -20 to 300 degrees Celsius, and software for data analysis. The selected contractor must ensure delivery of all components within 90 days of contract award to the specified address in Natick, MA. Invoicing will be processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, contingent upon DEVCOM-SC confirming receipt of the items. This project emphasizes the importance of accurate thermal imaging technology for defense applications and aligns with government initiatives to advance military equipment capabilities.
