This is a Federal Boilerplate document for inclusion in federal contracts related to a Request for Quotation (RFQ #16A 250226-186) issued by the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services, on behalf of the Maine State Police for night vision binoculars. The procurement seeks the Elbit Night Vision Binocular Model NE5032 with white phosphor technology, adjustable diopters, and a Wilcox G-24 Mount. The binoculars must meet stringent specifications including submersibility to 50 feet, a weight under 500 grams, and 30-hour battery life using lithium batteries. Responses are due March 12, 2025, by 4:00 PM EST. The initial contract period runs through February 28, 2027, with potential extensions available through February 28, 2030. The resulting Master Agreement Contract will allow the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife and other state law enforcement departments to purchase items as needed. Delivery is required to the Maine State Police Tac Team Fleet Garage in Augusta, Maine.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder meeting all specifications, though the state reserves the right to make multiple awards if deemed in its best interest. Pricing must include FOB-Destination shipping terms and remain firm for at least one year of the initial contract period. Vendors seeking price adjustments must submit manufacturer documentation 60 days prior to the effective date. No specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is designed to provide flexibility for multiple state law enforcement agencies to standardize and optimize night vision equipment acquisition across Maine.
