Laser Aiming Devices

The Department of Justice's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Laser Aiming Devices (LAD) to be attached to firearms. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed price sole source purchase order to B.E. Myers & Co., Inc., located in Redmond, Washington. The acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the federal acquisition regulation 13.106-1(b)(l)(i), which allows for procurement when only one source is reasonably available. The contract falls under NAICS code 332994 for Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing. The government has determined that B.E. Myers & Co., Inc. is the preferred vendor based on their Firearms and Tactical Policy dated June 2023.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire Laser Aiming Devices that will aid in target acquisition and point of impact determination without traditional sights or optics. Contractors interested in submitting capability statements must do so electronically to Ms. Angel Barkley by April 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. The government emphasizes that this notice is not a request for proposal, but rather an opportunity for potential vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Any source capable of providing the LADs may submit a capabilities statement for consideration. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to open the requirement to competitive procurement. The purchase request number is DAC D-25-LO-0019, and the procurement is for a limited source acquisition valued over $10,000 but not exceeding $250,000. The final order will only be placed if the price is determined to be fair and reasonable.
