Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT, has issued a Presolicitation for the repair/modification of Night Vision Viewers (NSN 7R-5855-015901553-QE), quantity 375 EA. This is identified as a Critical Application Item (CAI), leading to an intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source: COLLINS ELBIT VISION SYSTEM, LLC (6VSE4). The Government considers COLLINS ELBIT VISION SYSTEM, LLC the sole approved repair source with the necessary technical data. Responses from interested parties are due by June 2, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the repair and modification of Night Vision Viewers, NSN 7R-5855-015901553-QE, with a quantity of 375 units. Delivery is FOB Origin. Due to the item's Critical Application Item (CAI) status and the lack of sufficient Government rights to technical data (drawings, specifications, test equipment/procedures), a full and open competitive solicitation cannot be supported. The approved source possesses unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing/repair knowledge essential to maintaining the quality of the part.

Source Approval Requirements
Alternate sources must undergo a rigorous Government source approval process by NAVAIR/NAVSUP WSS Source Development Department prior to contract award. This process requires submission of detailed technical data as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures for Spares and Repair. Offers failing to provide required data or documentation of previous submission will not be considered. The time required for new source approval typically precludes award delays.
