The bracket is the mechanical interface between Mk-19 Grenade Machine Gun and the AN/TVS-5/5A long-range night vision sight, and provides a stable platform by which to secure that sight to that weapon. The bracket also provides compensation for windage of the outgoing round, and elevation adjustment to compensate for trajectory.

The Government is seeking best value approaches to procuring brackets with same functionality as the existing limited procurement bracket. Required production rate is expected to be 400 per month, commencing ideally 16 weeks after contract award.
