Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense, through the Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking information regarding the Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Sight System (EOSS) to support the MK34 and MK48 Gun Weapon Systems. This Request for Information (RFI) aims to gather insights on the current market for EOSS, including delivery timelines, prototype and production capabilities, and integrated logistics support, as the system is intended to replace the existing MK20 MOD 1 EOSS. The EOSS will serve critical functions such as gun sighting in both visible and thermal spectrums, enhancing navigation, surveillance, and threat warning capabilities for U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels. Interested vendors should submit their responses by the specified deadlines, with the primary contact for inquiries being Mark Dravet at mark.v.dravet.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 812-381-7085.
