About this file
This document is a Virtual Industry Day presentation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Services. FEMA seeks to establish a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for UAS capabilities to support disaster response operations. The contract will have one 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods, with an anticipated solicitation posting in the third quarter of 2025. The UAS are required to support three primary lines of effort: imagery/remote sensing, confined space accessibility, and cargo transport.
Key technical requirements include UAS capabilities such as still and video imagery, remote sensing, streamed video, infrared and thermal imaging, ability to fly at 1000' elevation, minimum 30-minute flight time, payload capacity up to 500 pounds, and features for operating in confined spaces like collapsed structures. Potential mission sets include aerial search and rescue, moving commodities to isolated communities, and remote damage assessment. Interested vendors must submit a capabilities statement by June 9, 2025, limited to 5 pages, addressing company overview, services offered, experience, key personnel, performance metrics, equipment, and FAA compliance. Questions about the opportunity must be submitted by May 30, 2025, and will be posted on SAM.gov.
