STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENT

FOR

3D Printed Group 1 UAS Kits

1. General Information

New requirement(s) to purchase 3D printed Group 1 (20lbs or less) small Unmanned Aerial

System (sUAS) kits and ground control stations associated support equipment as defined in the requirements below. The requirement includes the digital files to print our own Group 1 UAS, build the UAS with the parts and components kits associated with the UAS model purchased. The requirement will be for the initial purchase of a complete sUAS build kit which gives the ORNG the opportunity to 3D print the airframe, build out the printed airframe with the vendor provided components , and repair Group 1 UAS in austere and tactical environments without heavily relying on logistical or supply chains, i.e., FEDEX or Amazon Prime. The Contractor will furnish all

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) required critical components, other UAS components, and 3D print files for fabricating the UAS airframe necessary to provide the identified products in

Paragraph 2 to the 249th Regional Training Institute, Hermiston, Oregon.
