The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to extend a sole source contract for the Hand Held Imager-Mini Long Range System (HHI-MLR), along with associated post-installation operations/spares and repair services. This procurement falls under the night vision equipment category and involves search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing capabilities. The solicitation was posted on August 25, 2025, with an extremely tight response deadline of August 26, 2025, providing potential respondents with only one day to submit their proposals. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334511 and PSC code 5855, indicating specialized night vision and radiation detection equipment requirements. The brief timeline suggests this is likely an urgent operational requirement or a time-sensitive contract extension.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to full and open competition despite being characterized as a sole source extension. The solicitation notice does not specify the current incumbent contractor, potential award values, or budget ranges for this procurement. Similarly, no information is provided regarding the quantity of systems required, service timelines, or place of performance locations. The limited details in the notice and the expedited timeline indicate this may be a continuation of existing contract arrangements where the agency already has established relationships and requirements. The nature of the equipment suggests military or defense-related applications, consistent with the Naval Sea Systems Command's operational responsibilities.
