Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land Warren has issued a Sources Sought Notice (SPRDL1-26-R-0055) for an Eyesafe Laser Rangefinder (ELRF) with Container (PN: 13083231, NSN: 1240-01-695-0625). This market research aims to identify potential sources for this critical component, which integrates with the Gunner's Primary Sight (GPS) on the Abrams M1A2 Tank. Responses are due March 11, 2026.
Scope of Interest
The ELRF with Container is a subsystem designed to determine target range on the battlefield, even in the presence of obscurants. It also projects a visible, collimated reticle into the GPS to provide an aim point for the tank's weapon systems. The Government anticipates a guaranteed minimum quantity of 24 units and an estimated maximum of 570 units over five years.
Key Requirements & Challenges
- The Government does not possess drawings suitable for competitive procurement, and while the Technical Data Package (TDP) is fully defined, the Government does not have full data rights.
- Interested contractors must meet the requirements of the Source Approval Program, including vehicle-level qualification testing, at their own expense. The TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, Competition Management Office (CMO), is the lead proponent for this program. Further information is available via the Ombudsman section at https://tacom.army.mil/.
Submission Details
This is a market research effort published in compliance with FAR Part 10 and does not constitute a request for proposals. Submission of information is voluntary, and the Government will not assume financial responsibility for any costs incurred. The purpose is to canvas the industry for possible alternative sources.
