Sole Source - Enhanced Combat Optical Sights (ECOS) SU-230/PVS, SU-230A/PVS, and SU-230B/PVS   3

Anticipated Issue Date: 27 AUG 2015 - Closing Date: 29 SEP 2015 - 2:00 PM EDT

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division intends to solicit and award a 3-year, Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Enhanced Combat Optical Sights (ECOS) SU-230, SU-230A, and SU- 230B. This proposed sustainment procurement also provides for FMS variants, as well as provision item orders (PIO).

The SU-230/PVS (5.56mm) and SU-230A/PVS (7.62mm) are optical sights that provide the shooter with the capability of selecting between two fields-of-view. The first option is a 1X (reflex type) sight with a 26 degree field-of-view. This magnification, together with a red dot illuminated reticle, provides the shooter with an extremely fast, "both eyes open", target acquisition, close quarters battle (CQB) sight. The second option is a 4X magnified sight with a 6.5 degree field-of-view. This magnification provides the shooter with long-range target identification and precision marksmanship capability out to 600 meters using a bullet drop compensation reticle. The two different fields of view, in one housing, are easily and quickly interchanged by means of a high efficiency resonant cavity red light emitting diode (LED). When turned in one direction, the reticle illumination switch provides five different illumination levels of a "red dot" aiming mark.

The SU-230B/PVS is also a dual field-of-view ECOS with both a 1.5X and 6X scope. It is capable of illuminating a center red dot reticle for CQB use at 1.5X or a fully illuminated reticle for use on 6X.

This procurement will be for a minimum of 100 each (combined) and a maximum of 5,087 each (combined). Manufacture of these ECOS shall be in accordance with NSWC Crane Statement of Work. Delivery is required within 60 days after effective date of delivery order, FOB Destination. Inspection will performed at source by a representative of the Government and acceptance will be performed at destination. Accelerated deliveries are acceptable at no additional cost to the Government.

The Government intends to enter into a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract with Canadian Commercial Corporation (ELCAN Optical Technologies as the primary subcontractor) 450 Leitz Rd Midland, ON, L4R 5B8, Canada. The acquisition will be negotiated on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
