The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a sole source purchase order to                             to furnish:

We are deploying the first particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) system for a

NASA-funded experiment. The project is centered on visualizing and quantifying 3D fluid flow and sediment transport by wind on Earth and

other planetary bodies by directly measuring turbulence and transport in a low-pressure wind tunnel, the MARSWIT, at NASA Ames. This

requires rental of an entire PTV system which includes a high repetition rate dual cavity laser, programmable timing unit, remote aperture

and focus targets and lens, and travel for the system’s engineer to finalize the system integration and conduct the training on using this new

system. These items are necessary to rent from LaVision as it is compatible with cameras and LaVision software currently owned by the NRL

and designed by their software engineer. These are the fundamental items for conducting PTV experiments outlined in the NASA-funded

project. LaVision is chosen as the sole source as the outlined items for this PR will be integrated into the existing LaVision system

components already owned by NRL.

The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is  238910         with the size standard of    Small      .   The Federal Supply Code (FSC) / Product Service Code (PSC) procurement is  6640        .

This purchase will be made utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with:
