Aviator’s Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Solutions

The U.S. Army is conducting market research for Commercial Off‑the‑Shelf (COTS) helmet‑mounted night‑vision goggles (ANVIS). The agency seeks white papers (≤10 pages) and a production sample for testing to evaluate potential solutions that meet specific MIL‑PRF specifications. Respondents must detail product specs, compliance, cost, manufacturing sources, interchangeability, field maintenance, test set compatibility, and production capacity. Samples will be tested for resolution, signal‑to‑noise ratio, gain, collimation, and EMI. No contract award is intended; this RFI is purely informational. • Submit white paper (≤10 pages) and at least one production sample. • Include detailed technical data, MIL‑PRF compliance, cost estimates (up to 17,000 units), and manufacturing source information. • Provide production capacity and lead‑time. • Questions due 25 Sep 2026 2:00 PM EST; final response (white paper & sample) due 2 Oct 2026 (4 PM EST for paper, 2 PM EST for sample). • Sample shipping address: Ft Belvoir, VA 22060. • This is a market‑research RFI; no award or funding is associated.
