Subject: Sources Sought for modernized, multi-spectral, automated test set during field- and depot-level maintenance across Army aviation and ground night vision systems.

Purpose: The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), on behalf of the Project Manager Force Projection (PM FP), Test, Maintenance and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), is issuing this Sources Sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to determine the availability, technical maturity, trade space, and budgetary cost benchmarks for COTS or Non-Developmental Item (NDI) electro-optical test stations capable of fulfilling the requirements outlined in the Purchase Description (attachment) for the Night Vision Device Test Set (NVDTS).

Background: The Product Director Test, Maintenance, and Diagnostic Equipment (PD TMDE) requires a modernized, multi-spectral, automated test set to verify operational and performance parameters during field- and depot-level maintenance across Army aviation and ground night vision systems. The intended system must evaluate legacy Image Intensifier (I2) devices, thermal weapon sights, fused multi-band systems (e.g., ENVG-B), and digital augmented reality displays (e.g., IVAS).

Our technical and operational communities need to assess the degree to which existing commercial solutions can satisfy these requirements without necessitating an extensive, high-risk Government development program.

Acquisition Timeline: The Government is in the acquisition planning phase for a commercial five-year Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with two, one-year option year periods.
