About the company
Optex Systems, Inc., through its Applied Optics Center Division, manufactures specialized optical components and assemblies for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations on the majority of its work but holding two total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency.
Optex Systems is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Richardson, Texas with operations in Dallas, Texas. The company specializes in optical sighting systems, infrared light filters, night vision device components, lens caps, eyeguards, binoculars, and webbing straps for military applications. The Applied Optics Center Division operates as a small business classified under NAICS 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and multiple specialty codes including Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing (NAICS 333314), with product service codes spanning Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories (PSC 4610) and Optical Sighting and Ranging Equipment (PSC 4640).
Recent prime work centers on high-volume delivery orders against indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for optical components—including a $1.25 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Communications Electronics Command issued June 5, 2026, for infrared light filters (NSN 5855-01-379-1410) supporting night vision devices with completion scheduled October 25, 2027, and a $1.23 million order from CECOM issued March 25, 2026, for the same filters. Optex also supplies optical lens caps through multiple single-award IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime, with one $350,000 ceiling IDC awarded February 20, 2026, and another $250,000 ceiling IDC awarded October 24, 2025. The Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command maintains a $7.5 million ceiling indefinite delivery contract awarded November 8, 2022, through November 7, 2027, for infrared light filters, with four delivery orders collectively valued at approximately $4.16 million issued through August 2025.
Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of the Army's contracting commands. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal anchors the portfolio with 4 awards totaling $136.9 million combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 134 awards valued at $22 million combined potential. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware and Aviation commands represent 38 awards combined with approximately $393 thousand in potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command brings 11 awards valued at $18.5 million, and the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command contributes 3 awards (including the $451,196 M22 binocular delivery order) for $11.4 million.
Optex Systems holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts across the Defense Logistics Agency and Army customer base. Beyond the lens-cap and eyeguard IDCs noted above, the company maintains a $4.31 million Army Contracting Command Warren IDC for M22 binoculars running through September 15, 2028, and two total small business set-aside IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime—one for $1.23 million (telescope light filters, ceiling June 27, 2027) and another for $1.32 million (light optical filters, ceiling June 27, 2027). The DLA also awarded smaller IDCs for webbing straps ($250,000 ceiling, April 4, 2025) and eyeguards ($250,000 ceiling, July 7, 2025). Activity has trended downward from 19 awards in 2022 to 7 in 2026 year-to-date; however, the portfolio carries $191.1 million in combined potential value across 196 prime and sub awards. Only 2 awards with combined potential value $2.5 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
Optex operates primarily as a prime contractor (97% of awards). In its subcontractor role, the company provides optics and optical-assembly services to General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. under the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle Phase 3 and 4 development program (multiple sub-awards issued February 2025), to L3 Technologies, Inc. on Enhanced Night Vision Goggle binocular production systems (sub-award February 22, 2024), and to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for M45 periscope laser filter components (sub-award September 12, 2024).
