- MARKET SURVEY AN/PVS-7( ) and AN/PVS-14 Helmet Mount Assembly Background This is a Market Survey to locate sources for the AN/PVS-7( ) and AN/PVS-14 Helmet Mount Assembly. The Government is considering a Request for Proposal (RFP) for procurement of the Helmet Mount Assembly, herein identified as the HMA. The HMA is a mechanical device that attaches the AN/PVS-7B, AN/PVS-7D and AN/PVS 14 Night Vision Device (NVD) systems to the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) helmet, Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) helmet and the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH). The HMA consists of two major components; a Front Bracket and Mount. The Front Bracket hooks onto the front edge of the helmet and is fastened directly to the helmet using the existing mounting aperture and ballistics hardware. The Mount clips into the Front Bracket, attaches to and supports the NVD system, and provides for adjustments to the system position. Description The HMA shall attach securely to the PASGT, ACH and CVC helmets with a camouflage cover installed without affecting the protective qualities of the helmet. The HMA shall utilize or be backwards compatible with the currently fielded Front Brackets (Government drawings A3256371 and A3297307). The HMA shall accept the AN/PVS-7B, -7D and -14 NVD systems (including Headset Adapter, NSN 5965-01-444-1216). The HMA shall hold the NVD securely in place during normal operation and make the system free for release with one hand when the systems release latch is activated. Removal of a system using the system latch while the system is operating shall cause the NVD system to shut off. The HMA shall include adjustments for quick helmet release, flip-up (out of sight)/flip-down (system operation), line-of-sight tilt (above and below horizontal), fore-aft eye relief distance and to center the eyepiece optical axis with the viewing eye (horizontal and vertical adjustment or equivalent). The flip-up/flip-down mechanism shall not require the user to push, pull or twist any button, lever or knob. Each mechanical adjustment shall consist of a single control and be designed for one-handed operation. When the AN/PVS-7B, -7D, or -14 system is installed in the helmet mount and operating, flipping the assembly up from the system operation position to the out of sight position shall cause the system to automatically shut off. Acquisition The anticipated acquisition strategy for the award is as follows: [1] Full and open competition; [2] It is the Governments intention to make one award; however, additional awards may be considered; and [3] Contract will be a three (3) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract. The minimum quantity is anticipated to be approximately 5000 HMAs per month. This is not an RFP and no award will be made from this sources sought notice. Suppliers interested in the ID/IQ contract are encouraged to monitor the U.S. Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) for further program information.

Website URL is acceptable. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. This is a sources sought notice only.
