AN/PVS-7 & AN/PVS-14 NVD: ACH Lever Bracket Supply Sub

BLUF: Due to a production delay for the Night Vision Device (NVD) Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) lever bracket, order the next higher assembly, NSN 5855-01-610-8704, as a substitute for the AN/PVS-14 and AN/PVS-7 for now, but you'll pay more.

Take note, Soldiers.

The advanced combat helmet (ACH) lever bracket, NSN 5340-01-509-1467, supports the AN/PVS-7 & AN/PVS-14 night vision device (NVD). There are currently delays in lever bracket production.

For units that have critical/high priority requisitions for the ACH lever bracket, there's stock available for the next higher assembly (NHA), NSN 5855-01-610-8704. However, there are some important things to know:
 

•  The difference between the current cost of the lever bracket alone ($66.48) versus the NHA ($120) is considerable. For example, an order for 100 lever brackets with the NHA costs an additional $5,352. For existing orders, units must understand and agree to the price increase. For new orders, the correct price will already be included.
•  Some of the currently open orders are old enough they may no longer be valid. CECOM can assist in cancelling the orders.
•  If an order is valid and the unit doesn’t want the NHA, then the order will remain open and be filled based on priority when the delayed lever brackets become available.

For answers to your questions, the POC listed HERE can advise.
