    Nightforce scores DoD contract

    From today's contract announcements. Is this a new development or one of their off-the-shelf products?

    "Lightforce USA Inc., doing business as Nightforce Optics,* Orofino, Idaho, is awarded a $53,735,930 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a five-year ordering period for Precision-Variable Power Scopes (P-VPS). This procurement is for the P-VPS Standard and the P-VPS Standard, Long Range. The P-VPS is a precision direct view optic with continuously variable magnification ranging from 3x to less than or equal to 7x and greater than or equal to 25x continuous zoom for U.S. Special Operations Command. Work will be performed in Orofino, Idaho, and is expected to be complete by December 2024. Fiscal 2020 defense procurement funding in the amount of $2,351,124 will be obligated at the time of award and will expire at the end of the current continuing resolution period. This contract was competitively procured via the Federal Business Opportunities website with two offers received. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Crane, Indiana, is the contracting activity (N00164-20-D-JQ57)."

    I am thinking it is the Nightforce ATACR - 5-25x56mm since the specs call for 3-7 on low end and 25 or more on upper.

    Although we used mainly S&B and Leupold it wasn't uncommon to see NF filtering in. This was, what, 20 years ago? Not sure if those were COTS procurements or what. Good for them.

    I am still thinking I should have gone with the ATACR 5-25 instead of the NXS 2.5-20.

    Yeah, I'm kinda surprised it took this long.

    On the subject of military optics contracts, evidently Leupold filed a protest against SIG (and won) on a recent award:

    "Leupold Stevens, Inc., of Beaverton, Oregon, protests a modification to a contract held by Sig Sauer, Inc., of Newington, New Hampshire, which was issued by the Department of the Navy, Navy Surface Warfare Center, for purchase of the second focal plane squad variable powered scope (S-VPS).1 The challenged modification is for the purchase and installation of the Horus T-8 glass-etched internal reticle in the Sig Sauer S-VPS. Leupold argues that the modification is outside the scope of Sig Sauer’s awarded contract.

    We sustain the protest."
