Judith Szabo email=jszabo, Contract Specialist, 201-724-5373 Catherine
E. John-Angle, Contracting Officer, 201-724-3214. This is a
Non-Developmental Item (NDI) procurement program for anti-reflection
devices to be used in conjunction with small arms battlefield optics.
The Anti-Reflection Device (ARD) is a generic term to describe a
hardware which when placed over the visibly exposed lens of an optical
device, will inhibit reflection or glint which could visually reveal
a users position. Proposed optical systems designated for possible
anti-reflection devices include the M22 Binoculars (currently two
configurations: Steiner (Green) Version and Corion/Fujinon (Black)
Version), the M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS), the AN/PVS-10 Day/Night
Scope planned for the M24 SWS, the M144 Telescope, and the M24
Miniature Binoculars. The characteristics/features for these
anti-reflection device(s) includes: (1) the ability to inhibit visible
objective lens/window reflections; (2) the ability, when attached to
the supported optical device, to NOT appreciably degrade or impact
optical performance (i.e., light transmission, optical resolution, and
field of view) of the system; (3) the ability to be easily
attachable/removable by a soldier from the supported optical device;
(4) the ability to require NO special tools by the soldier in the field
for attachment or detachment; (5) the ability to NOT require physical
modification of the supported optical system; and (6) the ability to
reasonably perform in a typical battlefield environment. A Request for
Proposal (RFP) will be issued and contractors will be required to
submit a free test sample of any one of the above listed optical
devices and a technical proposal. The technical proposal shall address
the above ARD capabilities for all six (6) optical devices (i.e., M22
Green and Black, AN/PCS-10, M24 SWS, M144 and M24 minibinoculars). A
contract will be awarded for forty (40) sets for each device; and a
production option for fielded units and spares for up to a maximum
quantity as listed: (Item) M24 Sniper Weapon System Rifle Scope ARD,
(Qty) 1-4,375; (Item) M144 Telescope, Straight (spotting scope) ARD,
(Qty) 1-4,375; (Item) AN-PVS/10 Day/Night Sniper Scope ARD, (Qty)
1-4,375; (Item) M22 ''Green'' Steiner Binocular ARDs, (Qty) 1-13,750;
(Item) M22 ''Black'' Fujinon/Corion Binocular ARDs, (Qty) 1-7,500;
(Item) M24 Miniature Binocular ARDs, (Qty) 1-1,250. The planned
delivery of the test quantities will be 2nd/3rd quarter FY97. Upon the
release of the RFP, information will be provided for contractor to
make arrangement with the Contract Specialist to come to Picatinny to
view and analyze the optical devices. Estimation of the date is
approximately mid September, two weeks from release of solicitation.
All responses should be submitted in writing in the English language.
