About this opportunity
The Alabama Army National Guard is seeking warranty renewal services for the Ninja Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) capability, which includes Ninja Annual Software Support, Ninja Gen2 System Warranty Extension, and Ninja TRx System Warranty Extension. The 117th Air Refueling Wing currently operates both the Ninja Gen2 and TRx Systems, with existing sustainment coverage expiring on October 1, 2025. The contractor must provide all materials, equipment, tools, and labor necessary to deliver services in accordance with applicable codes, Unified Facilities Criteria, Air Force Instructions, and Air National Guard AFI Supplements. Required services encompass annual software support, library updates, customer service, help desk support, web-portal access, and hardware warranty extension for the Gen2 system. This pre-solicitation notice is posted for informational purposes only, with the posting date of September 26, 2025, and a due date of September 29, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. According to the National Guard Bureau memorandum, sustainment for the NINJA system can only be provided by Black River Systems, indicating a sole-source requirement that may limit competition despite the small business set-aside designation. The NINJA system represents the current program of record for the United States Air Force and Air National Guard for domestic C-sUAS operations, particularly for protecting airbases located near civilian airports. The sustainment requirement covers a one-year period, with the current system configuration optimized for varying mission requirements and threat landscapes rather than following a "one size fits all" approach. The memorandum emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining continuous system support to ensure operational relevance and effectiveness.
