AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense, through DLA Land at Aberdeen, is conducting market research to identify manufacturers and suppliers capable of providing new Light Interference Filters (LIF) to support the Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVG) PSQ-20B. The LIF is a critical optical component necessary for the ENVG system, which enhances night vision through ambient light amplification. The government holds a limited Technical Data Package (TDP) containing conceptual information but this is a non-developmental effort; vendors must demonstrate their ability to supply physically and functionally equivalent filters rather than develop new designs. The estimated demand ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 units over a five-year period, although these quantities are non-binding and subject to final determination at solicitation. Interested suppliers must submit capability statements and supporting documentation—including test results, previous purchase orders, or vendor endorsements—by May 8, 2026, to designated government contacts. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334290 (other communications equipment manufacturing), and no set-aside or socio-economic preference is applied. Strict controls govern access to the controlled technical data, including mandatory ITAR compliance, JCP certification, and execution of NDAs before data release. The government prohibits unauthorized commercial use or transfer of the data and imposes indemnification obligations on recipients. Key evaluation considerations focus on engineering expertise, manufacturing capacity, past performance, and security compliance. While this market research does not constitute a solicitation or contract, it informs future competitive procurements, expected to be structured possibly under Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangements, with performance centered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. No formal contract clauses, pricing, packaging requirements, or evaluation criteria have been finalized at this stage.
