About this file

This is a System for Award Management (SAM) informational document providing guidance to vendors on federal procurement registration requirements and processes applicable to state and local contracting opportunities, specifically related to an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) request for quotations.

The RFQ 18-904-27 seeks quotations from qualified vendors for the purchase of U.S.-made unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to support Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Spill Prevention & Response (SPAR) emergency response operations following the ex-Typhoon Halong disaster. The solicitation was issued on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, with a quotation deadline of 1:00 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, as indicated by email timestamp; late submissions will not be considered. The Notice of Award and Contract Issuance are anticipated for approximately the week of October 12, 2026. Offerors must self-attest that the UAS units comply with FAR 52.240-1 and are listed on the Defense Contract Management Agency's (DCMA) Blue List Unmanned Aircraft Systems website.

The Department of Environmental Conservation estimates a budget between $70,000.00 and $80,000.00 for this purchase, with quotations exceeding $90,000.00 potentially deemed non-responsive. Vendors must register with the Procurement Officer, Bryant Trujillo (Procurement Specialist III, Division of Administrative Services), by providing company name, representative's name and title, email address, and phone number to decdasprocurement@alaska.gov to receive subsequent addenda and ensure quotation acceptance. The SAM document emphasizes that federal regulations require vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management to receive awards and payments on federal contracts, with free registration available through SAM.gov, and Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) available to provide support, including Alaska PTAC at (907) 274-7232 or 1-800-478-7232.

System for Award Management (SAM) Helpful Information https://www.sam.gov/SAM/

Federal regulations require vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to receive awards and payments on federal contracts. (FAR 52.204-7). SAM is a composite procurement system that replaces several government legacy systems, including the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) and serves as a common source of vendor data for government agencies. Registration in SAM is free, and extensive help files are available on the site to assist you with the registration process. SAM registration provides your company the added benefit of being visible to federal, state, and local agencies, as well as other contractors, searching for the products and services your company has to offer.

SAM is maintained by the General Services Administration, but personalized assistance with registration and other government procurement related matters is available through the nationwide network of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers or “PTACs”. To find the PTAC office nearest you, visit the national PTAC website at http://www.aptac-us.org. You can also find a listing of PTAC offices by state on the Defense Logistics Agency small business website at the following URL: http://www.dla.mil/smallbusiness/pages/ptap.aspx.

In Alaska, contact the Alaska Procurement Technical Assistance Center via their website at http://www.ptacalaska.org, or by calling (907) 274-7232 in Anchorage, or via their statewide toll-free number at 1(800) 478-7232. Alaska PTAC staff will assist you with your SAM registration and can answer any other questions you have regarding federal, state, or local procurement opportunities and requirements.
