### Description

The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), intends to award a sole-source contract to Teledyne FLIR for three Recon HD high-definition, dual-sensor long-range thermal binocular/camera systems with 2× doubler lenses.<br/> <br/>BLM Law Enforcement currently utilizes legacy Teledyne FLIR Recon long-range, cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal systems in remote and austere environments. These systems support law-enforcement missions including suspect detection and identification, detection of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), operational overwatch, search-and-rescue, evidence collection, and reconnaissance.<br/> <br/>The requirement is for a Section 889-compliant, long-range, lightweight thermal system that integrates a low-light visible camera with a cooled MWIR imager and provides a high-definition 1280 × 720 thermal sensor, High Operating Temperature (HOT) MWIR cryo-cooled focal plane array, 8-micron pixel pitch, and 2× doubler lens. The Recon HD also provides long-range detection capabilities, including specified vehicle detection to 9,700 meters and human detection to 3,900 meters.<br/> <br/>Based on market research, BLM has identified the Teledyne FLIR Recon HD as the only Section 889-compliant solution that meets BLM's requirements for a long-range, high-definition, cooled MWIR thermal binocular/camera system and interfaces with existing field equipment. BLM intends to pursue this acquisition on a sole-source basis under the authority applicable to only one source being reasonably available.<br/> <br/>Response to Notice<br/> <br/>All responsible sources may submit a quotation or capability information demonstrating their ability to satisfy the Government's requirement, which will be considered by the agency.<br/> <br/>Responses shall be submitted electronically before the end of this announcement period.<br/> <br/>The Government will consider information received in determining whether a competitive procurement is appropriate.<br/>
