Special Notice – Notice of Intent to Sole Source

This Notice of Intent to Sole Source is issued for the purpose of notifying industry of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) intent to award a sole source contract under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a) Sole source (including brand name) acquisitions. No other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements due to the functions that FLIR Systems GF615 offers. There are no infrared detection/thermal imaging systems, other than the FLIR GF615 20, that will provide the essential characteristics required of the equipment by TOB in a single device, specifically possessing the spectral response of 1.0-5.0 μm to detect both short and medium-wave IR (SWIR/MWIR) signatures and reflected laser energy, while remaining portable and passively cooled (e.g., cryogenically).
