Laser Aiming Devices

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source firm fixed purchase order to B.E. Meyers - Advanced Photonics for 10 Laser Aiming Devices (LADs). The procurement will be conducted through FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically targeting laser aiming equipment to be affixed to DEA-issued carbines. The notice is not a competitive solicitation, but rather a targeted procurement for specialized equipment designed to enhance agent safety during low-light and austere operational environments. B.E. Meyers has been identified as the sole vendor and manufacturer capable of providing the required equipment with the necessary specifications at a reasonable price. The contract opportunity is specifically for the stock number BEM-MAWL-DA, with an anticipated shipping timeframe of 30-45 days after order placement.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit a written response to DEA contracting specialist Jose Marin via email by May 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, describing their ability to provide the product. A preliminary market analysis was conducted, which solicited quotes from three vendors, with two providing higher-cost alternatives. The contract will be awarded on a lowest price/technically acceptable basis using an ALL or NONE award approach. While the notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses or other designated groups, potential vendors should carefully review the attached Limited Source Documentation for comprehensive details. The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire specialized laser aiming devices that can dramatically reduce target acquisition time and improve operational effectiveness for DEA agents in challenging environments. Interested parties are encouraged to review the full documentation and contact the contracting specialist with any questions or potential submissions.
