NASA/JSC has a requirement for one (1) ThermaCAM S65 and Researcher Software. NASA/JSC intends to purchase the items directly from FLIR Systems, Inc., in Billarica, MA. A market survey revealed that the ThermaCAM S65 was the only infrared camera compatible with program required lenses currently available on Federal Supply Schedule.
