About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking to procure five PVS-31A night vision devices (NVDs) for SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) Specialists at Travis AFB, California. The pre-solicitation notice is designed to identify potential small business contractors capable of supplying night vision equipment that meets specific technical requirements.

This procurement is characterized as a "brand name or equal" solicitation, allowing some flexibility in product selection while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The sources sought notice is scheduled for response by May 9, 2025, with interested parties required to submit business name, representative contact information, and CAGE/UEI numbers.
The contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses, with particular interest in specific small business subsets including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, HUBZone Firms, certified 8(a) firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Woman Owned Small Businesses. While specific award value is not disclosed, the procurement involves five individual night vision devices for the 60 OSK/OSK flight, aimed at enhancing training scenarios and reducing operational risk. The procurement falls under NAICS category 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC category 1220 (Fire Control Computing Sights And Devices).
