About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) Next, seeking industry capabilities to develop and manufacture an advanced soldier technology platform. The IVAS system is designed to provide soldiers and squads with a single integrated platform that enhances lethality, mobility, and situational awareness in military operations. Positioned as a "fight first" system, IVAS also offers rehearsal and training capabilities to improve battlefield performance. The RFI is part of the Army's effort to achieve technological overmatch against current and potential future adversaries. This special notice is specifically targeting technology and defense contractors with capabilities in augmented reality, night vision, and soldier-borne electronic systems.
Contractors interested in responding to the RFI must submit their proposals by February 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST via email to specific government contacts. Submission requirements include a 25-page document in 12-point font with 1-inch margins, excluding cost/price information and classified data. Vendors may optionally submit sample hardware by February 21, 2025, to Fort Belvoir, VA, with functional samples preferred. The RFI requires comprehensive technical details including system design, human-machine integration, software development, and technology readiness levels. Participants must provide administrative information such as CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, business size/type, and NAICS code. While this RFI does not guarantee a future Request for Proposal (RFP), it represents a significant opportunity for contractors to demonstrate their technological capabilities in developing advanced soldier systems. The government emphasizes that this is an informational request and will not provide feedback on submissions.
