Summary

Synopsis: NASA/NSSC has a requirement for Intensified Andor iStar sCMOS Camera for laser-induced fluorescence measurements in the near-IR.. NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. 300 Baker AVE STE 150 Concord, Massachusetts 01742-2124 United States under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). It has been determined that ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. is the sole provider of Intensified Andor iStar sCMOS Camera for laser-induced fluorescence measurements in the near-IR. NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Langley Research Center (LARC). The Government intends to acquire Commercial items or services using the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 for Commercial The NAICS Code for this procurement is 334516. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on 6/8/2026. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.

Summary (Newest Update)

Background NASA/NSSC has a requirement for an Intensified Andor iStar sCMOS Camera for laser-induced fluorescence measurements in the near-IR. NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC., located at 300 Baker Ave Ste 150, Concord, Massachusetts 01742-2124, United States. It has been determined that ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. is the sole provider of this camera. The procurement will be managed by NASA and performed at NASA/Langley Research Center (LARC). Work Details The contract involves the purchase of the following item: - Part #: ISTAR-SCMOS-18U-74 - Description: Intensified Andor iStar sCMOS Camera - Specifications: - 5MP, 2560x2160 pixel resolution - Pixel size: 6.5µm - Global shutter capability - Frame rate: 40 fps (full frame) - Coupled with a 1:1 fibre-optic image intensifier - Photocathode: #18mm Gen 3 VIH - Peak quantum efficiency: 25.5% typ. - Gate width: = 2ns - Photocathode repetition rate: 500 kHz - Integrated digital delay generator with ultra-low jitter (3x output) - Cooling capability to 0°C - USB3.0 interface - Additional Services: Priority Support, LiveAssist, Repairs including extended coverage for all parts and labor during the contract period (12 months). Note that this does not cover mechanical damage due to mishandling or sensors in open fronted cameras. Period of Performance 18-20 Weeks Place of Performance NASA-Langley Research Center, 4 South Marvin Street Building 1206, Hampton, VA 23681-2199 Bidder Requirements No specific bidder requirements are mentioned beyond the sole source designation to ANDOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract with Andor Technology (80NSSC25PB583) valued at $67,529 for “ANDOR CAMERAS” during 07/30/25–10/21/25. The current requirement is for an Intensified Andor iStar sCMOS camera configured for near-IR laser-induced fluorescence measurements, which suggests the prior procurement likely involved the same type of Andor camera hardware and related supply/support needed to support similar near-IR fluorescence imaging use cases.
