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.
