About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA Weapons Support in Columbus) is conducting market research to solicit a one-time purchase of Mounting Brackets (NSN 5340-016865201) used for Night Vision Gun (NVG) equipment. This pre-solicitation notice is not a request for quotes or proposals but rather a market research initiative to identify potential sources and gather information necessary to develop a competitive solicitation. Key requirements include demonstrating manufacturing capability to meet or exceed the quality standards of the current approved Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), with responses to the attached market survey due by December 17, 2025. Companies interested in being considered as alternate sources must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, which requires comprehensive technical documentation proving their product meets or surpasses OEM specifications. The evaluation will focus on supplier capacity, inventory availability, commercial item status, delivery timelines, and pricing competitiveness for a Firm Fixed Price Contract.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations and is currently sourced from Elbit Systems of America—Night Vision (Part Number 286236-1). The estimated quantity for the one-time buy is 2,000 units with a potential for a 100% quantity option, indicating possible future buys. The contract falls under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and PSC code 5340 (Hardware, Commercial), with a small business size standard of 750 employees. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the substantial quantity combined with a one-time buy structure suggests a significant procurement. Interested vendors should direct completed market surveys to Jacob McGee at Jacob.mcgee@dla.mil by the December 17, 2025 deadline to participate in the upcoming formal solicitation process.
