The IVS incorporates day/night and infrared cameras along with laser rangefinder technology to provide comprehensive vision and range detection capabilities. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the government's intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract over a five-year period in accordance with FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(i), which allows for procurement from a single source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. While this is a pre-solicitation notice issued for informational purposes only, the government has emphasized that all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration under FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii). The notice was posted on April 30, 2026, with a response deadline of May 15, 2026.
This contract carries no small business set-aside designation. The intended sole-source contractor is Diagnostics/Retrieval Systems Network and Imaging Systems, Inc. (DRS-NIS), a company with CAGE code 32865 headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with production facilities in Cypress, Florida. The contract will support continued production of the IVS subsystem, with the government planning to manufacture a total of 37 units under this requirements contract. Although specific dollar values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the five-year contract term and substantial production quantity suggest a significant procurement action. Notably, the government has clearly stated that despite this notice, it intends to make award to DRS-NIS on a sole-source basis and will not consider proposals submitted in response to this notice for competitive evaluation.
