Intent to Sole Source. Common Laser Range Finder (CLRF) Retrofits to include Auto-Calibrated Digital Magnetic Compass, integrated 100% Duty Cycle Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Firmware, and updated the Image/Video Output to THSv2, and 500 battery cartridges.

The Marine Corps Systems Command issued this Sources Sought notice, identified by solicitation number M6785423R1022, regarding a planned sole-source follow-on to production contract M67854-15-D-6001. The procurement covers maintenance and upgrades for Common Laser Rangefinder Integrated Capability (CLRF IC) handheld units located in New Hampshire. The scope includes performing necessary rework and implementing Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) #01139, which retrofits the devices with an auto-calibrated digital magnetic compass, integrated 100% duty cycle Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) firmware, and updated THSv2 image and video output. Additionally, the requirement includes a one-time purchase of 500 AA battery cartridges to replace damaged or missing units previously fielded.

The government intends to award this contract on a sole-source basis because it lacks the data rights and complete specifications necessary to facilitate a competitive procurement for the required modifications. This requirement falls under NAICS code 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, and PSC 1240, Optical Sighting and Ranging Equipment. Responses to this notice are due by April 14, 2023, and Brian Lewis is the designated point of contact for the action.
