Elbit Systems Of America - Night Vision LLC

Elbit Systems Of America - Night Vision LLC, a foreign-owned manufacturer of advanced electro-optic systems and night vision equipment headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, operates as a subsidiary of Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems Ltd and competes as a prime contractor across full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside posture. The vendor manufactures precision optical components, image intensifier tubes, night vision goggles, and related electro-optic assemblies for defense logistics and soldier modernization, delivering through 883 federal awards totaling $4.95 billion in combined potential value across 14 customer agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward two agencies and one customer category. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) dominates award volume—DLA Aviation alone accounts for 435 awards ($92 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime for 285 awards ($28 million)—but the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier anchors the dollar value, with 72 awards carrying $3.14 billion in combined potential value. The U.S. Marine Corps ranks second in potential dollars ($1.28 billion across 10 awards) and the Army Communications-Electronics Command third ($399.4 million across 29 awards). Together, these top-five customers represent 100% of combined potential value, reflecting vendor concentration in military night vision and electro-optic supply to the Army and Marine Corps through both DLA logistics operations and direct prime platforms. Within that concentration, DLA awards are numerous but smaller-value component orders (cables, brackets, lenses, fasteners), while PEO Soldier and the Marine Corps drive large-dollar system and subsystem contracts.

The vendor sits on a substantial indefinite-delivery portfolio. The top parent vehicle is an Army Communications-Electronics Command IDIQ (W91CRB11D0082, $25.8 million across 41 task orders) for white phosphorus image intensifier tubes. Recent awards include a $450.6 million single-award IDC from PEO Soldier awarded February 27, 2026, for the BINOD ESA program (night vision equipment and electro-optic systems, performance through February 2031); a $135 million multiple-award IDC from CECOM awarded January 31, 2025, for white phosphor MX-11769 image intensifier tubes; and numerous smaller single-award DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime IDCs ($250 thousand to $4.75 million ceilings) for components including mount viewers, optical cases, battery boxes, wiring harnesses, and sacrificial windows. The vendor also holds a substantial CECOM vehicle valued at $25 million for white phosphorus tubes and related night vision equipment.

Recent activity shows declining trajectory year over year—188 awards in 2024 down to 159 in 2025, with 37 awards in 2026 through mid-April—reflecting the front-loaded spike of task-order issuance in prior years rather than pipeline decline. Recompete risk is material: 26 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $376.9 million, including the $116.4 million Marine Corps SBNVG (Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle) delivery order awarded February 28, 2025 (completion December 2026), the $139.2 million PEO Soldier Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular production delivery order awarded December 31, 2024 (completion December 2026), and the $74.4 million Marine Corps image intensifier assembly goggle kit delivery order awarded December 10, 2025 (completion December 2027).

The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor across its federal footprint (100% of awards are prime; 0% are sub-awards) and competes under full-and-open, unrestricted procedures with no set-aside designations across all named awards. Work is performed in Roanoke, Virginia, with some overseas or alternate domestic consolidation and containerization points for Defense Logistics Agency distribution. The vendor's capability profile is defined entirely by its award history: image intensifier tubes for night vision systems; optical assemblies and eyepiece components; mounting hardware, brackets, and plates; wiring harnesses and cable assemblies; purge kits and protective accessories; battery-related components; and specialized optics including lens caps, retaining rings, and sacrificial windows. Named representative work includes the $139.2 million ENVG-B production delivery order (PEO Soldier), the $116.4 million SBNVG systems delivery order (Marine Corps), the $74.4 million image intensifier assembly goggle kit delivery order (Marine Corps), a $13.05 million image intensifier tubes delivery order from CECOM (February 2026), a $4.66 million image intensifiers delivery order from DLA Aviation (November 2025), and numerous DLA purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars for component replenishment. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with secondary concentration in optical instrument and lens manufacturing and hardware manufacturing; primary PSC is night vision equipment and emitted/reflected radiation systems.
