About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $209,117 firm fixed-price purchase order to WS Darley & Co's Ohler Pump Division on September 3, 2025, for the procurement of a small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS). The contract specifies that the SUAS must be NDAA-compliant and listed on the Defense Innovation Unit Blue UAS List or possess a successfully waivered system certification. The system is limited to a maximum gross takeoff weight of 4 pounds and must operate on 2.4 GHz or 1.8 GHz frequency bands to ensure spectrum management compliance. Performance will be completed in Charlotte, North Carolina, with an ultimate completion date of November 1, 2025. This award is designated as a total small business set-aside, reflecting WS Darley & Co's status as a qualified small business prime contractor.
WS Darley & Co, headquartered in Itasca, Illinois, operates through its Ohler Pump Division and maintains an extensive track record of federal contracting across the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and FEMA. The parent company holds several significant indefinite delivery contracts, including a notable $500 million Special Operations Equipment - Tailored Logistics Support (SOE-TLS) IDIQ with the Defense Logistics Agency. While the Ohler Pump Division is traditionally known for supplying firefighting, rescue, and pumping equipment, this SUAS procurement represents an expansion into unmanned aerial systems capabilities in support of Air Force operational requirements.
