- Description
- The U.S. Army RDECOM-Natick Contracting Division, Kansas Street, Natick, MA on behalf of the United States Army Soldier Systems Center, Natick, MA in support of the Special Operations Command has a requirement for non-developmental Special Operations Eyewear Protection (SOEP) Spectacle Kits, to meet the needs of Special Operational Forces (SOF) utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. The SOEP spectacle kits must provide a lens suite that allows the opera tor to function in no-light to daylight conditions and in a laser environment while still providing ballistic and UV protection, and be prescription compatible. The spectacle kits will (at minimum): provide required ballistic fragmentation protection for t he eye in every configuration, protect from 99% ultraviolet (UV) A and B light, and provide protection against laser wavelengths in the 820-850 nm range for our SOF operators for use in daylight and no-light conditions, and objectively protect from 100% UV C, harmful blue light, and laser radiation at 1064 nm and 694 nm wavelengths. Spectacles kits shall: accommodate prescription users while still providing ballistic protection and be compatible with Special Operational Forces equipment: helmets (MICH and ACH), visual augmentation systems, night vision devices, communications, and weapon systems, provide for good field of view, and allow full environmental awareness, minimize fogging to the greatest extent possible, and be lightweight without sacrificing t he other required capabilities. Offerors will be required to submit supporting test data for ballistic, optic, and laser requirements. This will be a full and open competition. The NAICS code for these items is 339115 and the Standard Industrial Classifi cation (SIC) is 3851. This is not a request for proposals (RFP). The Government intends to make multiple awards on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract as a result of the Request for Proposals (RFP), but reserve s the right to make one or no awards. The Government anticipates a five year ordering period. The anticipated total minimum requirement is 100 kits with a maximum total requirement of 70,000 kits.
