Purchase Description Rev 2 REDACTED.pdf

This is a Purchase Description (PD) document for the procurement of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 7-inch First Person View (FPV) quadcopter drones, unassembled drone kits, and FPV pilot kits with training. Prepared by the Technical Procurement Division with an effective date of June 30, 2026, this document outlines requirements for systems to conduct Red UAS adversary emulation training and short-range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations.

The procurement specifies four major product categories: (1) 100 assembled 7-inch FPV quadcopters featuring carbon fiber frames, solder-free 2807 1300KV motors, STMF722RET6 flight controllers with integrated OSD, video transmission systems with adjustable power output and low-latency FPV cameras, control receivers with dual-antenna diversity, and integrated visual sensors; (2) 16 unassembled drone kits containing 100% solder-free components including flight controllers, electronic speed controllers, carbon fiber frames, Long Range System modules, video transmitters, analog cameras, RHCP antennas, motors, LiPo batteries, and propellers; (3) 17 FPV pilot kits with radio transmitters (ExpressRS 2.4 GHz protocol), FPV goggles with adjustable optics and ultra-low latency digital display, and batteries with multi-channel smart chargers; and (4) training services consisting of 3-day unit training programs covering build, flight, and repair with class sizes of 2-3 students minimum and 8 maximum, conducted at Moody Air Force Base with vendor travel expenses.

Critical regulatory requirements mandate strict NDAA Section 848/889 compliance for all system components with full compliance to FY24 NDAA Subtitle B Drone Security restrictions. Vendors must certify that sub-components do not violate supply chain restrictions and contain no components from covered entities including DJI, Autel, or their subsidiaries. The systems must feature fully open architecture with no proprietary software or hardware restrictions, solder-free design for rapid field assembly and repair, and operate reliably across temperatures of 10°F to 110°F. Cost constraints and delivery schedules are redacted in the document, though delivery is required as soon as possible with a maximum 6-month timeline, with vendors expected to account for extended lead times associated with sourcing NDAA-compliant microelectronics.
