About this file

This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) services to support wildland fire operations, search and rescue, emergency management, and other resource missions across the contiguous 48 states. The Department of the Interior (DOI) intends to award multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a five-year ordering period from June 15, 2026 to June 14, 2031. The maximum shared contract ceiling is $7.5 million, with a minimum guarantee of $500 per contract.

The solicitation requires contractors to provide fully operated and maintained UAS, including at least two fixed-wing or VTOL unmanned aircraft with stabilized dual electro-optical and infrared gimbals. Key requirements include day and night operational capabilities, 12,000' density altitude performance, 8-hour continuous flight time, and ability to operate in 25-knot winds. The contract is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns, with NAICS code 541370 and a $19 million size standard. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, past performance, organizational safety, and price, with non-priced factors being more important. Contractors must submit detailed pricing, technical specifications, safety management system documentation, and reference information.

SECTION C – CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION B – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

For clarity, all references to the Federal Aviation Regulation (14 CFR) in this requirement will be by reference to Title 14, CFR and abbreviated with the acronym “14 CFR”. When the requirements exceed the minimum requirements of 14 CFR, this Statement of Work (SOW) takes precedence. Definitions contained in 14 CFR Part 1 apply to all situations and conditions related to flight operations, aircraft maintenance, and flight crew certifications and qualifications, except as noted or defined otherwise herein.

B1 Scope of Contract

B1.1 The purpose of this contract is to obtain fully contractor-operated and maintained On Call (OC) and/or Exclusive Use (EU) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to support wildland fire operations, Search and Rescue (SAR), emergency management and other resource missions in the contiguous 48 States. Contractor services include provisions of a minimum of two complete UAS, necessary spare parts, personnel, servicing vehicles, fuel, and all other associated equipment, as prescribed in this RFQ, compliant with Section C – Exhibit 1, Technical Specifications, and/or offered by the Contractor and accepted by the government. The Government will direct aircraft to support its missions and objectives.

B1.2 The Department of the Interior (DOI), wishes to collaborate with vendors to develop a safe, effective, and efficient concept of operations which will support both incident and resource management objectives within the Department, U.S. Forest Service and partner agencies. Contractor provided UAS services will potentially augment and support current incident management and remote sensing programs.

B1.2.1 UAS will supplement the manned fleet by providing the capability to operate during dense smoke/inversion situations.

Infrared/thermal camera technology will be utilized to penetrate smoke and gather/disseminate information to increase strategic and tactical situational awareness

B1.3 The primary use of this UAS is to support wildland fire operations and planning personnel by providing:

B1.3.1 Strategic Situational Awareness:

B1.3.1.1 The vendor shall support reconnaissance missions to determine general incident characteristics. Command/Overhead personnel will have the ability to view a live feed at the Incident Command Post (ICP) or other known location.

B1.3.1.2 The vendor shall support data collection missions to provide near real-time data utilized by qualified personnel to develop incident planning products.

B1.3.2 Tactical Situational Awareness:
