Grenadier Sighting System (GSS) w/equipment for the M320/M320AL Grenade Launcher. 1010-01-686-8798

The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), is conducting market research to identify sources capable of manufacturing the Grenadier Sighting System (GSS) with equipment, a day/night sighting system designed for M320/M320AL Grenade Launchers (NSN 1010-01-686-8798). This is a sources sought notice intended to gather vendor capabilities and qualifications for a potential future acquisition rather than a formal solicitation. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive responses via email to Contriance Specialist Terrence Brown at terrence.r.brown.civ@army.mil with the subject line "Day/Night Grenadier Sighting System w/equipment Response" by April 13, 2026. The notice requires vendors to address their business classification (small disadvantaged business, HUBZone, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, or large business), manufacturing experience with the Government, current production capabilities, first article testing experience, production lead times, quality management system certifications, and unit pricing. The Government explicitly does not own or have access to the technical data package and cannot grant access to respondents; therefore, vendors must demonstrate their approach to manufacturing to required specifications independently.

The procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors. The anticipated requirement is for 21 units with a 100% option, indicating a potential total of 42 units, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. No incumbent contractor information or detailed award values are provided at this pre-solicitation stage. This market research effort does not guarantee that a formal solicitation or contract award will result from the notice. Vendors should note that the responses will inform the Government's understanding of available manufacturing sources and capabilities in the market for this specialized defense ordnance accessory.
