AI Contract Overview
This is a sole-source acquisition for the Telops M3K high-speed thermal camera system with a 25mm lens from Exosense, procured under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial items. The requirement is driven by the camera’s unique technical capabilities, specifically a 3,000 Hz full-frame rate and a minimum of 100,000 Hz frame rate in the MWIR spectrum, which no other commercial system can replicate. The procurement, solicited under number 80NSSC26932277Q and posted on May 18, 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, bypasses competition due to the absence of alternative sources capable of meeting NASA Langley Research Center’s advanced thermal imaging needs. The contract is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, with delivery and performance occurring at Hampton, Virginia, and a five-month period of performance commencing from task issuance. The justification for sole sourcing is formally documented and supported by technical documentation from the vendor, including a quote and a detailed sole-source rationale. No formal evaluation factors, pricing data, or award criteria are specified because the acquisition relies on technical uniqueness rather than competitive trade-offs. Packaging, marking, and bar-coding requirements are not detailed in the solicitation and are expected to follow the vendor’s commercial practices as outlined in the referenced quote file. The contract includes no options, modifications, security clearance requirements, or key personnel mandates, consistent with FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition rules. Acceptance of the system will occur at the delivery site based on verified compliance with the camera’s performance specifications. The primary point of contact for submission is Shanna Patterson at NASA, and proposals must be submitted via email by the deadline, including the required justification and technical quote documents in .docx and .pdf formats. No contract value is publicly available, and no representations or certifications from the vendor are documented in the solicitation.
