About this opportunity

The 87th Contracting Squadron at the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is conducting market research for a potential Firm-Fixed Price supply contract to procure Night Vision Goggles for the 87th Security Forces Special Reaction Team (SRT). The procurement specifically requires six AN/PVS-31A Binocular Night Vision Devices with white phosphor technology, Gen III tubes, manual system gain adjustments, and LED battery life indicators, along with six battery packs with QD cable, IR strobes, and six modular G24 Night Vision Mounts. These devices are deemed critical for ensuring SRT personnel are properly equipped for high-risk tactical response operations, with the upgraded equipment expected to increase mission success rates and reduce operational risks. The government is soliciting capability statements from interested firms, limited to three pages in length, that must include company profiles with employee count, location, DUNS/CAGE codes, socio-economic status, and relevant experience from the past five years. The submission deadline is August 18, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. EST, with responses to be sent electronically to Captain Jared Skipper and Ms. Lizbette Zalybniuk.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS Code 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) with a 1,000 employee size standard. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, the procurement involves a relatively small quantity of specialized equipment with six complete night vision systems and associated accessories. The government will use the industry responses to determine whether maintaining the set-aside acquisition approach is in the government's best interest for the eventual formal solicitation. The procurement timeline indicates this is still in the early market research phase, with no formal Request for Proposal issued yet, and respondents are advised that no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with preparing submissions to this sources sought notice.

Notice text

The 87th Contracting Squadron (CONS) is performing market research to determine potential services in preparation for a potential future contract.  This request for information does not commit the Government to pay any cost incurred in preparation of any submission to this Sources Sought Notice or to a contract for services.  This is a market survey for written information only.

The intent of this sources sought synopsis is to identify businesses for a Firm-Fixed Price, Supply type contract for Night Vision Goggles. The upgraded night vision devices have been deemed critical for ensuring that Defenders assigned to the 87th Security Forces Special Reaction Team (SRT) are properly outfitted for all activations as a Law Enforcement tactical response team. These items are integral to the readiness of the SRT, who must be fully equipped to meet all high-risk, real-world operational demands at a moment’s notice. This includes having all proper employment gear. The SRT is unique in the fact that the use of the team already has proven the need for night vision devices and the training and operational use would greatly increase the chance of mission success and highly reduce the risk. Night Vision devices and similar equipment are utilized during each operational activation.  Along with the Night Vision devices, the battery pack and the required mount are crucial for the effectiveness of the devices. Refer to the draft SOW for details.

Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Notice, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition is in the Government's best interest. The NAICS Code is 333310, PSC is 5855, and 1000 employee Size Standard.

This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), nor does it restrict 87 CONS to an ultimate acquisition approach.
