About this file

This document contains a sources sought notice and performance specifications for aerial target systems to support Army training requirements. The U.S. Army is seeking sources to produce MQM-170, MQM-171, and MQM-186 aerial targets in accordance with the specifications provided. Interested vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet all threshold performance requirements for airspeed, endurance, payload capacity, altitude, range, and other criteria. Responses are requested by March 23, 2021 to inform the development of a follow-on indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for aerial target production and services. The anticipated award date for the IDIQ is the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Army intends to set aside this requirement fully for small businesses under NAICS code 336411.
