AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, intends to award a sole-source contract to Teledyne FLIR for three Recon HD high-definition, dual-sensor long-range thermal binocular and camera systems. These systems are designed for law enforcement missions such as suspect identification, sUAS detection, search-and-rescue, and reconnaissance in remote environments. The required equipment must be Section 889-compliant and feature a cooled mid-wave infrared imager with a 1280 by 720 thermal sensor, 8-micron pixel pitch, and 2x doubler lenses, providing vehicle detection up to 9,700 meters and human detection up to 3,900 meters. The acquisition is being pursued as a sole-source procurement because the Recon HD is identified as the only solution that meets the technical requirements and interfaces with existing field equipment. This opportunity is listed under solicitation number DOILFBO260037 with a response deadline of October 8, 2026. While the agency intends to award the contract to Teledyne FLIR, it will consider quotations or capability information from other responsible sources to determine if a competitive procurement is appropriate.

Full Description
BLM Law Enforcement currently utilizes legacy Teledyne FLIR Recon long-range, cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal systems in remote and austere environments. These systems support law-enforcement missions including suspect detection and identification, detection of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), operational overwatch, search-and-rescue, evidence collection, and reconnaissance.
The requirement is for a Section 889-compliant, long-range, lightweight thermal system that integrates a low-light visible camera with a cooled MWIR imager and provides a high-definition 1280 × 720 thermal sensor, High Operating Temperature (HOT) MWIR cryo-cooled focal plane array, 8-micron pixel pitch, and 2× doubler lens. The Recon HD also provides long-range detection capabilities, including specified vehicle detection to 9,700 meters and human detection to 3,900 meters.
Based on market research, BLM has identified the Teledyne FLIR Recon HD as the only Section 889-compliant solution that meets BLM's requirements for a long-range, high-definition, cooled MWIR thermal binocular/camera system and interfaces with existing field equipment. BLM intends to pursue this acquisition on a sole-source basis under the authority applicable to only one source being reasonably available.
