AI Contract Overview
The United States Army is conducting a market survey to identify manufacturers and suppliers capable of providing new Light Interference Filters (LIF) for the PVS-14 night vision system. The LIF is a vital component that enhances the performance of the PVS-14 by improving night vision capabilities. The government holds a limited technical data package for the part, which is available under certain conditions, and any alternate designs require approval from the Product Manager for Soldier Maneuver Sensors. This survey is not a solicitation and does not commit either party to a contract. The Army anticipates a requirement for approximately 75,000 to 120,000 units of the LIF over a five-year period, but these quantities are estimates and subject to change at time of solicitation. Interested suppliers must respond by May 15, 2026, providing information about their ability to manufacture or source the component, supported by documentation such as test results, purchase orders, or statements from previous vendors. The survey is conducted under NAICS code 334290, and the points of contact include Matthew Eberhardt and Tim Langan at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing responses, and no set-aside applies to this sources sought. The data collected will help the Army understand market capabilities and guide potential future procurement actions.
