The Department of Defense announced multiple contract actions through the Defense Logistics Agency on April 20, 2026, with awards supporting optical systems and hazardous material logistics services. The contracts reflect the agency’s role in sustaining supply chains and providing critical equipment and support to military services.
Elbit Systems of America, based in Roanoke, Virginia, was awarded a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum value of $21,663,920 for the procurement of image intensifiers. The contract was issued as a sole-source acquisition under federal statutory authority and Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions permitting such awards when only one responsible source is available. The agreement spans five years, with an ordering period extending through April 19, 2031, and does not include option periods. Funding will be drawn from fiscal 2026 through 2031 defense working capital funds. The primary user of the equipment is the Navy, while Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support in Richmond, Virginia, serves as the contracting activity.
In a separate action, Valiant Technical Services Inc. of Fayetteville, North Carolina, received a contract modification valued at $10,863,104. The modification exercises the third one-year option period under an existing contract that includes a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The contract provides third-party logistics services focused on hazardous material support. Structured as a hybrid contract combining firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-reimbursement elements, the agreement supports operations in Texas and is scheduled for completion by April 26, 2027.
The contract is funded through fiscal 2026 Army working capital funds, with the Army identified as the using military service. Defense Logistics Agency Distribution in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, is responsible for managing the contracting activity.
These contract actions underscore the Defense Logistics Agency’s continued role in delivering specialized equipment and logistics support across the military, ensuring operational units have access to critical materials and sustainment capabilities.
