About this opportunity
The US Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), acting on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Lethality, is conducting a market survey to identify novel technologies and software modules for the XM157 Fire Control system. The XM157 is a sophisticated magnified direct view optic that currently includes features like laser range finder, environmental sensors, ballistic solver, wireless communication, compass, and digital display overlay. The Army is specifically seeking innovative capabilities that can enhance the system's performance, with key areas of interest including multi-spectral imagery, live atmospherics, aim augmentation, passive targeting, aided target detection, and threat recognition technologies. Potential vendors must submit detailed responses by March 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, and must provide comprehensive company information including business size, CAGE/DUNS numbers, and contractor status. To receive the full Interface Control Document (ICD), companies are required to submit a signed DD Form 2345, completed AMSTA-AR Form 1350, and a US Government Use Non-Disclosure Agreement.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, meaning it is open to a broad range of potential contractors. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the Army is seeking technologies that can be integrated as modules to improve the XM157's existing capabilities, particularly in enhancing soldier performance and target engagement probability. The market research is focused on identifying technologies that can reduce system weight, improve spectral imaging, and provide enhanced situational awareness across various environmental conditions. Although no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation suggests potential for multiple contract awards or technology integration contracts. The overall objective is to develop additional capabilities that can be seamlessly integrated into the XM157 system, with a focus on increasing the speed and accuracy of target engagement for military personnel.

Sources Sought – Additional capabilities for the XM157 Fire Control
The US Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Soldier Lethality (PM SL), located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is conducting a market survey to identify novel technologies/software that can be utilized as a module on the XM157 fire control. The XM157 is a magnified direct view optic with laser range finder, environmental sensors, ballistic solver, wireless communication, compass, and digital display overlay. The sight provides the Soldier with the capability to accurately engage targets across the range of the host weapon and provides a marked point of aim directly in the sight picture. The system increases probability of hit and enables Rifleman and Automatic Rifleman to effectively engage targets faster.
This notice is looking for information from interested companies that have novel technologies or ongoing research that would be beneficial for the XM157 system as a module and/or software that provides enhanced capability.
See attached additional information and vendor questionnaire.
NOTE: Interested companies may request the Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreement (NDA) and AMSTA-AR Form 1350 at the time they respond to this Sources Sought notice. Information, instructions, and portal for the DD2345 can be found at: https://www.dla.mil/Logistics-Operations/Services/JCP/SpecificDD2345Instructions/
Companies who submit the completed NDA, Form 1350, and approved DD2345, will then be provided the data.
