The Department of the Navy (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH) has issued a presolicitation for 40 Thermal Imaging Systems (NSN 7H-5855-014991240). This is a proposed sole-source contract action, as the Government does not own the necessary data and deems it uneconomical to acquire or reverse engineer. Interested parties must submit capability statements by April 27, 2026, to challenge the sole-source determination.
