Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Huntsville, AL, is issuing a presolicitation for a re-pricing effort concerning the Target Acquisition System (TAS) 2.8 2nd Generation and TAS 2.8 HD Longwave components for the Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem (IBAS). This effort supports the US Army AMCOM and TACOM. The acquisition is currently restricted to DRS Network & Imaging Systems, Inc. due to limited technical data, but the government encourages other qualified firms to seek source approval. Responses are due May 28, 2026.

Scope of Work

This presolicitation outlines the intent to procure TAS 2.8 components as a re-pricing effort under the existing Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract (SPRRA2-20-D-0012). The period of performance is two years. Contractor responsibilities include recurring and nonrecurring engineering services for qualification, comprehensive manufacturing/production (supply chain, logistics, forecasting, long-lead parts, material forecasting, obsolescence management), and final delivery of assets. The procurement will involve multiple requirements based on forecasted demands and will include a request for Economic Order Quantities (EOQs).
