I2RGUS SOLAR CAMERA - Brand Name or Equal To

The USGS Woods Hole Coastal Science Center is seeking to procure a 5MP Solar Powered I2RGUS Camera System under solicitation 140G0126Q0219, with delivery required to Falmouth, MA, within 30 days after receipt of order. The acquisition is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 333310, with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and is open only to small business concerns certified as such. The request for quotation was issued on July 20, 2026, with responses due by July 24, 2026, and award anticipated on July 28, 2026. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and comply with the Buy American Act, including full disclosure of any foreign end products. The solicitation requires adherence to numerous FAR clauses covering contractor conduct, labor standards, equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, supply chain security, and whistleblower protections, with specific emphasis on compliance with 52.211-6 for brand name or equal specifications and 52.225-1 for domestic sourcing. Performance is governed under F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning title and risk transfer upon delivery at the specified location. The evaluation will be based on technical capability, price, and past performance in that order of importance, with an implied trade-off approach allowing for selection of the most advantageous offer rather than strictly the lowest price. Vendors must submit proposals electronically to rafael_anderson@ios.doi.gov, and all payment must be processed through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. Technical requirements are defined in the referenced “Specifications - IR2GUS,” though details are not included in the solicitation documents. Acceptance will be determined by the Contracting Officer based on compliance with those specifications, representations, and certifications. The contract includes provisions for accelerated payments to small business subcontractors and mandates ongoing SAM registration throughout performance. No packaging, preservation, or labeling standards beyond general product identification are specified in the available documentation, leaving full compliance dependent on the undisclosed IR2GUS technical specification.
