66--High resolution handheld thermal camera and custom temperature calibration

This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to negotiate a purchase order with FLIR Commercial Systems, located in Nashua, NH for a high-resolution thermal camera, Lenses, Software, and custom temperature calibration. The USGS requires the thermal camera to acquire high-resolution thermal images of volcanic activity in Alaska. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. FLIR Commercial Systems is, to the USGS knowledge, the only source who can provide the custom calibration. FLIR Systems can make a calibration setting between -20'C and 1200'C, which is highly desirable for monitoring high-temperature lava flows, as it can capture both the cold Alaska background (down to -20'C) and the peak lava temperatures (~1100'C). One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code - 333314 Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing and associated size standard is 500 - Size standards in number of employees apply to this announcement. The Product Service Code is 6650 Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to contact@example.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than July 6, 2021. Responses submitted by hardcopy shall not be accepted or considered.
