About this opportunity
The FBI Chicago Division is conducting a Request for Information to gather market intelligence on Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) required for law enforcement teams operating in variable weather and lighting conditions. The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation seeks comprehensive vendor information to determine procurement methodology and identify potential sources before issuing a formal solicitation. This informational notice emphasizes that responses are strictly voluntary, no government commitment exists, and no funds are available for response preparation. The RFI requests detailed company profiles including employee count, revenue history, CAGE codes, DUNS numbers, government contract experience, and technical capabilities specific to law enforcement equipment procurement. Interested parties must submit their responses by June 24, 2025, fourteen days after the initial posting date of June 10, 2025.
The procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with all small business categories eligible for consideration including potential 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, and SDVOSB classifications. The government files do not identify any incumbent contractors or existing vendors currently providing these services to the FBI Chicago Division. No specific award values, budget ranges, or quantity requirements are disclosed in the available documentation, as this represents preliminary market research rather than a definitive procurement action. The timeline for actual contract performance and specific technical specifications for the night vision equipment will likely be detailed in subsequent formal solicitation documents following completion of this market research phase.
