FAR 6.104-1(a)(2), Nature and/or description of the action being approved: OSEM's Environmental Response Team and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Division (ERTCD) is requesting to issue a single-award Purchase Order on a sole source basis to the above listed proposed source, to obtain commercial chemical system equipment, which includes the Telops Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini and the Reveal Airborne Suite software package. 3. FAR 6.104-1(a)(3), A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs (including the estimated value): (i) Required Services/Supplies to Meet the Agency's Needs OSEM's ERTCD requires a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) chemical sensing system. This technology must accurately identify and quantify chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs). The chemical analysis should be fully automated and should not necessitate any additional human involvement in the process. Additionally, the system must provide chemical quantification with a resolution of 1 m² and have the capability to characterize a plume located between the ground surface and an elevation of 5,000 feet above ground level. The system should incorporate the functionalities of both a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and a hyperspectral imaging system. It is essential that the system is robust and backed by reliable operations and maintenance support from the manufacturer to ensure the longevity and dependability of the program. The Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini has been identified as a COTS system with functionalities of both a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and a hyperspectral imaging system that meets the ERTCD requirements. This camera system falls under a supply acquisition categorized by NAICS Code 334511 Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing and PSC Code 5855 Night Vision Equipment, Emitted …
