rocedures applicable to this requirement. The Government�s requirement is for a high-precision multichannel pyrometer system capable of supporting advanced modeling of laser/material interactions for direct energy research. Specifically, the system must be capable of real-time absorption (off-gas) compensation. During high-energy laser testing, targeted materials vaporize and create severe off gassing, which distorts thermal readings. The required system must compensate for this vaporized material interference while simultaneously providing continuous, wavelength-dependent emissivity measurements in extreme heat ranges (300�2000� Celsius). Standard pyrometers are unsuitable due to off-gassing interference and lack of these specific capabilities. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334513 (Instruments and Related Products for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables). The Product Service Code (PSC) is 6650. The anticipated award date is on or before September 15, 2026. This notice is issued solely for market research and to determine whether other responsible sources can meet the Government�s minimum requirements. Interested parties may submit their documentation demonstrating the ability to provide equipment that meets the Government�s minimum requirement. Equipment Minimum Requirements Submissions must demonstrate that the proposed equipment possesses the minimum required capabilities described above (specifically, real-time absorption/off-gas compensation and continuous, wavelength-dependent emissivity measurements from 300�2000� Celsius). This market research is solely to determine if technical capabilities exist in the marketplace. Submission Instruction Length Constraint: Submissions must not exceed 6 pages (10-point, Times New Roman font). Review Process: The results of this assessment will help the Government determine whether there are qualified sources and inform the decision on whether to continue with sole-source procurement or pursue competition. Requests for information or submissions with only questions are not affirmative responses. Point of Contact: Please submit capability statements by email as a Word or PDF attachment to Allaine Benson at allaine.g.benson.civ@us.navy.mil by 3:00 PM PDT, 08/31/2026. Please ensure all submissions are addressed to the listed contact to avoid any delays or missed deadlines
Who won similar work
4 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same agency (NAVSUP (Naval Supply Systems Command)), same product/service code (PSC) 6650.
Single-winner award sizes (4): middle half $1.0M to $1.7M, median $1.3M; range $750K to $2.4M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION · $RTX · $93.5B | 2 | $2.3M | Feb 13, 2026 |
| KITCO FIBER OPTICS INC | 1 | $2.4M | Jun 7, 2025 |
| ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC. · $RTX · $93.5B | 1 | $1.1M | May 1, 2025 |
Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $RTX reported $93.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $1.3M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
