Does FLIR offer discounts for educational institutions?
No. FLIR’s policy is to implement a price structure whereby all customers are treated in an equal and fair manner. This policy results from the fact that many of the company’s customers are U.S. Government agencies and branches of the military. FLIR’s government contracts often contain a “most favored customer” clause whereby FLIR guarantees that it does not sell the same product in identical quantities at lower prices to anyone other than the U.S. Government. Providing a lower price to a commercial (or educational) customer could result in FLIR being liable to lower the price on future government sales, and to refund the difference in price on current government contracts.
