MARKET SURVEY - SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS The purpose of this combined Sources Sought is to 1) identify potential vendors to meet a need of the United States Special Operations Command for a Thermal Laser Pointer (TLP) and 2) notify industry that NSWC Crane may procure up to 36000 units. This acquisition is for a laser product that provides aiming and pointing capability in the 8-12 micron wavelength range, or long wave infrared band (LWIR), for users with LWIR sensors. The TLP should be mountable to the rail system of the M-4 Carbine without obscuring the optics. The TLP is meant to augment or replace the current NIR AN/PEQ-2A systems. The white paper in response to this notification, should address in detail how the manufacturer intends to meet the LWIR requirement and future requirements in the Mid-Wave IR and Short-Wave IR bands. Summary of the firm's capabilities needs to address as a minimum the following: 1. An executive summary of the firm's capability and experience in pointer technology. Additional information in the executive summary should include a discussion of the proposed solution to NSWC Crane's requirements to include; proposed product maturity*, current status of proposed product (concept, brass board, engineering model, in production)*, any test results if applicable, pictures if applicable, and product literature. 2. Matrix that includes performance characteristics including expected range, power requirements, beam divergence, output power, wavelength, weight, and +dimensions. 3. A rough order of magnitude (ROM) pricing for units to include applicable quantity breaks up to 2000. *Note: It is NSWC Crane's intention to rapidly review the information received under this sources sought notification and proceed to issue a Request for Proposal. It is extremely important for companies to identify the level of maturity of their proposed solution. Responses are due by Noon (12:00PM) Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT) on April 1, 2010. All responses shall include company's administrative information in addition to the technical detail requested above. All responses must be sent electronically (Microsoft 2003 compatible) to the Technical Point of Contact: Mr. Matt Thurner, matthew.thurner@navy.mil, telephone number (812)854-2383. NSWC Crane anticipates conducting an industry day on April 15, 2010 to provide company(s) the opportunity to provide a technical presentation (no more than 30 minutes in length).
