Quick Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)-Aberdeen, on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center, is conducting a Market Survey (Sources Sought) to identify capable sources for 2GF Horizontal Technology Insertion (HTI) Afocal Spare Lens Assembly parts. Specifically, the requirement is for NSN: 6650-01-676-1468, NOMENCLATURE: 2GF HTI Afocal Objective Lens Assembly, PART NUMBER: 6439506-1, CAGE: 96214. The government does not possess the Technical Data Package (TDP) for these parts. Responses are due by April 8, 2026.

Scope of Work
