About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for a Navy solicitation related to First Person View (FPV) small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) training. The solicitation (H9224026Q2001) is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small-Business (SDVOSB) set-aside contract for training in FPV drone fabrication and flying, with base year performance beginning 15 January 2026. The United States Special Operations Command is the sponsoring agency, seeking a Firm-Fixed-Price contract under NAICS code 611699.
The RFI includes seven questions and responses addressing critical aspects of the potential training program, such as drone platform specifications, instructor qualifications, and training delivery methods. Key points include a preference for in-person course material delivery, flexibility on instructor backgrounds (including those with combat experience), and an emphasis on NDAA compliance and parts sourcing from non-covered countries. The government indicates that instructor experience will be evaluated based on ability to meet Performance Work Statement requirements, with the intent to make a best-value tradeoff award decision.
