About this opportunity

The United States Army, specifically the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, is seeking manufacturers and suppliers for Light Interference Filters (LIF) to support the Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVG) PSQ-20B system. The government possesses a technical data package (TDP) for the part and is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources. Interested suppliers must submit documentation demonstrating their ability to produce or source the LIF components by February 3rd, 2024, to matthew.n.eberhardt.civ@army.mil. Submissions must include a list of producible items and supporting evidence such as test results, purchase orders, or vendor statements. Potential suppliers will need to comply with a non-disclosure agreement and have an active Defense Logistics Agency Joint Certification Program (JCP) status to access the full technical specifications.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates an estimated requirement of 1,000-5,000 LIF units (NSN: 5855-01-611-2113) over a two-year period, with no specific set-aside designated for small businesses. The opportunity falls under NAICS category 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement is for an existing technical data package and is not a developmental effort. Alternate designs will require approval from the Product Manager-Soldier Maneuver Sensors (PM-SMS). The government emphasizes that this pre-solicitation notice is not a binding solicitation and does not guarantee a contract, and suppliers will bear all costs associated with preparing and submitting market survey responses.
