Why would they do that when ITT and L-3 units are readily available to them?
What evidence do you have that the U.S. military would grab NVGs from whoever could supply them? I really don't believe that at all when it comes to night vision.

My understanding is that if you are mil/LE companies like GSCI and Alpha can get you L3/Harris components. That's not to say they have stock readily available and will sell to any random Joe, but rather these companies deal with more than just the "Civilian" market and sell more than just European tubes. At least that's what I was told when I contacted them for info.
