The Government intends to issue one (1) single award Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) commercial contract. Maximum contract value will be $99 million over the five (5) year life of the contract. A Sources Sought Notice was published in the FedBizOpps on March19, 2018, where more than two small businesses responded that were judged to be able to meet the requirements. Based on this and other Market Research, a determination was made to set the effort aside 100% for Small Business. Therefore, only qualified Small Business offerors may submit their Proposals for the anticipated Solicitation. This requirement will provide Warehouse Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and supporting Logistics Program Management for the Family of Small Unmanned Aircraft System (FoSUAS) as well as Training and Fielding required to support the Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TUAS) Product Office (PdO) in CONUS and OCONUS, as well as its domestic and foreign customers. FoSUAS provides support for Group I UAS products, primarily the RQ-20A (Puma) and RQ-11B (Raven), make up the current fleet. In the future, Group I UAS products will consist of the SRR, MRR, and LRR aircraft as well as the H-GCS. The US Army is not currently fielding any Group II UAS, however there may be support required in the future. Group II Aircraft weigh between 21 and 55 pounds. The current contract that supports these efforts will end in June 2019. The current fleet of SUAS includes: • 2175 RQ-11B systems in the inventory • 338 RQ-20A systems in the inventory • 34 Non-Standard Equipment (NSE) SUAS Desktop Training Systems. These Desktop Training Systems are embedded in select active duty and reserve component installations worldwide. A brief synopsis of the support required for these systems as well as future modified systems, and new SUAS acquisitions are as follows: Facilities Provide a climate controlled facility for warehouse, repair, and logistic services to take place (hereafter referred to as the SUAS Contractor Depot) within 25 miles one-way distance from the PdO TUAS official duty station (Redstone Arsenal, AL). Currently there are Government representatives that work in the ICP/warehouse facility on an on-going basis. That oversight is expected to continue during this contract. Contractor Logistics Support provides Warehouse Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and other supporting services necessary to sustain the current program managed systems identified above and any newly acquired or program managed systems during the life of the contract.
