Wasniewski, Contracting Officer, 201-724-2164. The U.S. Army has identified a need for an optic to improve the operational performance of the M249, M60 Series, and M240G machine guns in the dismounted role in Infantry units. The U.S. Army ARDEC is seeking information and potential sources for a fixed 3-4x telescopic sight for the M249, M60 Series, and M240G machine guns to improve the effectiveness of those weapons at extended ranges, while reducing the risk of fratricide. The Telescopic sight shall incorporate laser eye protection, battery power or tritium illuminated reticle and lens/dust cover, and will mount on a MIL-STD-1913 Accessory Mounting Rail. Information is desired on any sighting systems/optical devices that would meet this goal. Items in production as well as modified Non-Development Items will be considered. A draft solicitation which includes an unclassifed draft purchase description is available upon request. Responses should include any available photographs, descriptive literature, price lists, and test data. Comments on the purchase description are encouraged. No telephone requests will be accepted.
