About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center, is conducting a Sources Sought Announcement for spare parts supporting the Common Sensor Payload (CSP), a multi-sensor Electro-Optic Infrared Sensor manufactured by Raytheon Company. The government seeks to procure six specific electronic and sensor components, including detectors, image intensifiers, antenna pedestals, electronic shields, and cooling units with associated National Stock Numbers. This market research effort aims to identify potential manufacturers capable of supplying these components for a sensor system designed for reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and target designation on manned and unmanned aerial platforms. Interested sources must submit a response by May 12, 2025, including company information, CAGE code, technical point of contact details, and documentation demonstrating manufacturing capabilities. Responses should include questionnaires, drawings, test results, previous contract information, and data rights documentation.

The Sources Sought Announcement currently has no specific small business set-aside designation, though the government will use the gathered information to determine if the procurement could be competitive or set aside for small businesses. The technical data package (TDP) for the parts is available for conditional release and includes level 2 developmental information, with specific access requirements including a completed Non-Disclosure Agreement and compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. While this announcement is explicitly not a Request for Quote and does not commit the government to contract award or cost reimbursement, it represents a critical market research phase to assess source availability and potential acquisition strategies. The parts are associated with CAGE codes 96214 and 1HYQ4, and fall under the NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. Responses must be submitted via email to the specified technical points of contact, with no phone inquiries permitted.
