Night Vision Device Carry Pouch & Administrative Pouch Request for Information

The U.S. Army is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) pouches that can be fielded on individual Soldier load‑carrying equipment. Two pouch types are sought: (1) a Night Vision Device (NVD) carry pouch capable of housing an Enhanced Night Vision Goggle‑Bravo (ENVG‑B) with its battery pack, helmet mount and spare batteries, and (2) an “admin” pouch for squad‑leader items such as a notebook and writing tools. Both pouches must be MOLLE‑compatible, water‑resistant, Berry‑Amendment compliant, manufactured in the United States, and finished in Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) or Multi‑Cam. Closures may be zippers but are not required. The NVD pouch may include a separate, attachable helmet‑adapter compartment. This RFI is for information and planning only; no contract or funding is presently available and no reimbursement will be provided. Respondents must submit, by 12 May 2026, company name, CAGE (if available), small‑business status, manufacturing location, product description, photos/illustrations, retail price, production capacity, quality‑management system description, NAICS code, and any GSA Schedule contract number. Responses are to be sent by e‑mail only to Mr. Blaise Liess (blaise.p.liess.civ@army.mil) and Mr. John Kirk (john.kirk.civ@army.mil) with a courtesy copy to the Contracting Officer, Alexander Obriwin (alexander.s.obriwin.civ@army.mil), and Contracting Specialist, Christine Chase (christine.n.chase2.civ@army.mil). Selected pouches may be evaluated for fit with the ENVG‑B and tested with up to 50 Soldiers in a small‑procurement experiment. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
