The intent of the Government in this solicitation is to award a multiple, indefinite delivery – indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for On Call (OC)/Call When Needed (CWN) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) services to support wildland fire operations, search and rescue (SAR), emergency management, and other resource missions. Each aircraft will be fully contractor-operated and maintained.

Contractor services include provision of the required UAS, personnel, and all other associated equipment to perform the required services as prescribed in this solicitation (See Bl.1.) The IDIQ contract has a three-year ordering period and will be procured in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The maximum Ceiling value is $7,200,000.00 over the life of the IDIQ contract. However, the Minimum Guarantee Amount for each IDIQ contract is limited to $550.00.
