About this file
This document is a Boom Lift Minimum Specification sheet prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) detailing precise technical requirements for three boom lifts to support the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Detection and Mitigation research program. The specifications include 14 key technical requirements such as an 80-foot platform height, non-articulating boom type, 1000 lbs platform capacity, diesel fuel, foam-filled rough terrain tires, 4-wheel drive, and specific features like a flashing amber beacon, cold start/weather package, lighting package, 3-phase AC generator (minimum 7.5 kW), platform power receptacle, compressed air line, and lanyard attachment points. The lifts are intended for use at the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with the goal of elevating equipment to maximize performance assessment of CUAS equipment.
The associated market survey is seeking capability statements from potential vendors who can meet or exceed these exact specifications, with responses due by 12:00 PM EST on June 30, 2025. The FAA is exploring potential acquisition strategies, including possible set-asides for small businesses such as 8(a) program, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and other designated small business categories. Vendors are requested to submit two-page capability statements demonstrating compliance with specifications, indicate their size status, and provide information about existing contract vehicles if applicable. The procurement will use NAICS code 333923 with a size standard of 1,250 employees.
