Lens Imaging/Measurement System

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakhurst, NJ intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a fixed price contract, on a sole-source basis to Optikos Corporation (CAGE: 0M430 (USA)). Extensive market research was conducted to identify potential suppliers of Lens Measurement Systems. The findings confirmed that Optikos Corporation is the exclusive manufacturer of this type of lens measurement equipment, and their technology aligns seamlessly with the Government's testing requirements. Other companies investigated were unable to meet all salient characteristics of the required Lens Measurement System. While they all provided lens imaging systems, they weren't able to provide key factors; such as accommodations for the types and sizes of lenses needed to be measured. These other systems also didn't have the required software packages, or all of the physical equipment that the Photonics Lab would need. Optikos Corporation is the sole source of the OpTest Lens Measurement System, making it the only viable option for the Government's specific testing needs. The seamless integration ensures compatibility with existing systems and minimizes disruptions to operations. Optikos is the only company that can do a one to one replacement and upgrade of the current system.
