    Brief

    This procurement seeks an infrared camera and associated software for use on a high-temperature heat flux test facility. The camera will observe metallic samples heated via induction to high temperatures inside a vacuum vessel, viewing the samples through a specialized window. The specific wavelength range is determined by the window material, though alternative window options may be considered. Interested suppliers should submit responses as an Excel spreadsheet clearly indicating whether they can meet all stated technical requirements outlined in the attached specifications document. Suppliers may also propose alternative solutions that meet the project objectives. This is a market-sensing procurement to help the project team establish rough cost estimates based on supplier feedback. Actual contract value will be determined following response analysis.
