Lightforce Usa, Incorporated

Lightforce USA, Incorporated, operating through its Mil-Gov-Le Division as Nightforce Optics, manufactures and supplies precision optical systems—riflescopes, spotting scopes, sight mounts, and related components—to the Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies as a prime contractor. The company is foreign-owned, for-profit, and manufactures goods at its facility in Orofino, Idaho; it competes on full-and-open basis across all recent awards, with no set-aside designations.

Lightforce's customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, which accounts for 61 awards valued at $160.2 million combined potential value—roughly 70% of the vendor's total portfolio. The United States Special Operations Command (16 awards, $40.5 million), the Department of the Air Force (18 awards, $19.3 million), and the United States Marine Corps (7 awards, $2.3 million) form a secondary tier. Across the top five customers, coverage reaches 98% of the vendor's combined potential value of $227.1 million. The portfolio tilts heavily toward Naval Sea Systems Command both by order count and dollars, making that customer the anchor of the footprint.

Lightforce holds three significant single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicles. The largest is a $35.3 million IDIQ with the United States Special Operations Command running through September 2029, established in September 2022, from which task orders for Nightforce rifle scopes and related parts are issued on a firm-fixed-price basis. A $537,000 single-award IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command extends through September 2027. Additionally, the vendor operates under five Navy IDIQs (N0016405D8558, N0016419DJQ31, N0016410DJQ23, N0016420DJQ57, and N0016421DJQ74) that collectively account for 64 task orders and $46.1 million combined potential value. Representative delivery-order work under these vehicles includes a $5.26 billion Ranging Variable Power Scope (R-VPS) systems delivery order to Naval Sea Systems Command (July 2024, completed April 2025), a $2.58 million delivery order for 31 Nightforce scopes (expanded to 787 units) to Special Operations Command (September 2023, completed August 2024), a $944,423 delivery order for kits to Special Operations Command (July 2025, completing May 2026), and a $716,208 R-VPS delivery order to the Air Force (September 2025, completed December 2025). The vendor also executes small purchase orders—under $25,000—for maintenance items including wrench kits, lens caps, socket head screws, and torque wrenches across Aviation and Land and Maritime agencies.

Activity has grown sharply in the past two years, from 16 awards in 2022 to 29 in 2025, with 6 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Only 2 awards totaling $36,000 in combined potential value face completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor is predominantly a prime contractor (97% of awards); subcontract work (3%) is routed through Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., where Lightforce Optics supplies optical equipment including laser filter units, mil-spec NX8 rifle scopes, and advanced tripod kits.

Lightforce's capability portfolio reflects narrow, specialized focus: NAICS 339500 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing) dominates the award footprint with 134 awards, supplemented by commercial machinery, small arms accessories, and hand-tool manufacturing. The PSC profile emphasizes Optical Sighting and Ranging Equipment (79 awards) and Night Vision Equipment (33 awards). The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since 2001 and operates as a primary supplier to military optical procurement without material competition from secondary contract vehicles, GWACs, or civilian agency work.

Manufacturer of riflescopes and spotting scopes for precision capability and close proximity capability.
