What the buyer needs

AI summary

The Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), on behalf of the Project Manager Force Projection (PM FP), Test, Maintenance and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), is conducting market research for a Night Vision Device Test Set (NVDTS). The buyer seeks commercial off-the-shelf or non-developmental item electro-optical test stations to provide a modernized, multi-spectral, automated test set for field- and depot-level maintenance across Army aviation and ground night vision systems.

ACC-DTA aims to identify interested parties with the resources to determine availability, technical maturity, trade space, and budgetary cost benchmarks without necessitating an extensive Government development program. The Government is planning a commercial five-year Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with two one-year option periods. This Sources Sought notice is for informational purposes only, and respondents must clearly mark any proprietary data.
