Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A726D0099

Elbit Systems Of America - Night Vision LLC, a foreign-owned manufacturer based in Roanoke, Virginia, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on December 8, 2025, with a ceiling value of $4.75 million and an ultimate completion date of December 7, 2028. The contract procures night vision bridge components (National Stock Number 5855-016868120) and related electro-optic manufacturing services, with the government's market research indicating a requirement for approximately 1,274 units. As the sole approved source for this specialized component, Elbit Systems will provide comprehensive manufacturing services including component procurement, testing, packaging, and shipping under a performance-based service acquisition structure. The contract represents DLA Aviation's continued reliance on the contractor's specialized capabilities in night vision technology production, which supports broader military logistics operations and soldier modernization initiatives.

The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation market research notice on March 3, 2025, required interested vendors to demonstrate organizational capability, technical capacity, project management capabilities, and ability to perform under performance-based contracting terms. The evaluation criteria emphasized supply chain management, logistics planning, production forecasting, and long-lead time parts procurement expertise, reflecting the complexity of manufacturing advanced night vision equipment for military applications. The contract was awarded without set-aside designations, indicating open competition, though Elbit Systems' incumbent status as the current qualified source for this National Stock Number materially influenced the procurement outcome. Unit pricing for the night vision bridge components was established at contract award, with the government assuming no responsibility for vendor costs incurred during the market research response phase.
