E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Technical Representative, cardinal@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. This is a Market Survey to locate additional sources for commercial items that satisfy the Army's requirements for a Target Pointer/ Illuminator/ Aiming Light (TPIAL), the AN/PEQ-2A, an Infrared Aiming Light (IAL), the AN/PAQ-4C, mounting brackets, and spares. The base year quantities of both systems will be about 20,000 each with deliveries starting at 6 mos. after award at a rate of 1,000-1,500 each per month. There is a possibility that this requirement will be classified as a Small Business Set Aside. The AN/PEQ-2A, NSN 5855-01-447-8992, is a non-developmental (NDI) device which meets the requirements set forth in the Performance Specification #A3271173. The AN/PEQ-2A is an infrared illuminator and aiming light which provides the Soldier with the capability to accurately aim his assigned weapon during periods of darkness at ranges at or equal to the maximum effective range of the weapon when used with an image intensification device, such as a Night Vision Goggle (NVG). The AN/PEQ-2A can be hand held or weapon mounted using various mounting brackets or the Rail Grabber Assembly for the Modular Weapons. The Performance Specification #A3271173 fully describes the functional requirements of the AN/PEQ-2A and its physical interfaces, as well as the various brackets which it must interface with.The AN/PAQ-4C, NSN 5855-01-398-4315, is an eye-safe aiming light which meets the requirements of the Performance Specification #MIL-PRF-49434A(CR). The AN/PAQ-4C emits an infrared beam along the line of sight: visible only with Night Vision Goggles, the projected spot of light appears at the exact point where the weapon is aimed. This aiming light has a range of about 600 meters; it can be used only in the weapon-mounted mode using various weapons or the Rail Grabber Assembly for the Modular Weapons. The Performance Specification #MIL-PRF-49434A(CR) fully describes the functional requirements of the AN/PAQ-4C and its physical interfaces. The various brackets which it must interface with will be the same as those required for the AN/PEQ-2A.The current source for both of these systems is Insight Technology, Inc., in Londonderry, New Hampshire.Draft Specifications may be obtained for review from the CECOM Acquisition Center Business Opportunities Page at: http://acbop.monmouth.army.mil under (Draft) Solicitation No. DAAB07-98-R-G045.Suppliers capable of furnishing these systems, must so indicate in writing to Commander, CECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-IEW-N-LS (Cardinale), Fort Monmouith, NJ 07703-5000.
