North Carolina is seeking one-time factory repair and aircraft support for two NCEM-owned FLIR systems used by the Civil Air Patrol North Carolina Wing. - Government buyer: State of North Carolina, Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management (NCEM); supporting the Civil Air Patrol North Carolina Wing. - OEM: FLIR Systems is identified as the OEM and destination for factory repair. No service contractor or reseller is named. - Equipment: Two aircraft-mounted FLIR systems, described as U800 in the equipment specification and U8500/8500 elsewhere. Each is associated with a Cessna 182T, tail number N963CP. - Requested work: Remove the systems, arrange secure shipment and OEM factory repair, complete required software upgrades, and perform certified reinstallation so the aircraft can return to flight service. - Pricing breakdown: Separate pricing is requested for Aircraft 1 and Aircraft 2 for system maintenance/software upgrade, installation, freight, and total system repair. - Notable requirements: Work must begin within 14 business days after the contract becomes effective. The equipment identifiers differ across the specification, so the U800 and U8500/8500 references should be confirmed.
