Production Capabilities to produce Advanced Multi-Purpose (AMP) Eye safe Laser Range Finder (ELRFs)

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a market survey to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing Advanced Multi-Purpose (AMP) Eye safe Laser Range Finders (ELRFs) for the M1A2T Abrams Tank. This pre-solicitation notice, posted on November 4, 2025, is seeking information from both small and large businesses regarding their production capabilities, qualifications, and interest in manufacturing these specialized military optics systems. Interested parties must submit detailed capability statements that include company information, production capacities, manufacturing processes, quality management systems, and responses to four specific inquiries about manufacturing experience and delivery timelines. The evaluation will focus on identifying qualified sources with demonstrated production capabilities and the ability to meet government specifications. All responses must be submitted via email to Terrie D. Legette, with a deadline of January 5, 2026—60 days from the posting date. It is critical to note that this is purely an information-gathering exercise; no solicitation or contract will be awarded from this notice, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and involves the production of 20 units of the AMP ELRFs. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the pre-solicitation notice, as this market survey is intended to establish the industrial base for potential future procurement. No award value or budget range has been disclosed at this stage, as no funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for the effort. The focus of this sources sought notice is limited to capability assessment and qualification identification rather than formal procurement activity. All data submitted in response to this market survey will be retained by the government and reviewed confidentially by ACC-DTA and PEO-Ground Combat Systems personnel. This pre-solicitation represents an opportunity for manufacturers to position themselves for potential future contract opportunities related to ELRF production for Army vehicles.
