About this opportunity
The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa seeks quotes for a passive, non-emitting Counter sUAS detection system for 352 SOW at RAF Mildenhall, with quotes due August 4, 2026 at 15:00 GMT/BST and questions due July 28, 2026 at 15:00 GMT/BST. The solicitation is an RFQ (FA558726Q0019) issued by the 48th Contracting Squadron with no set-aside due to the overseas location.
Place of performance is RAF Mildenhall, Bury Saint Edmunds, UK (Building 755, IP28 8NG). The procurement covers three line items: four Discovair array G2plus sensors (or equivalent), four tripods for Discovair microphone array sensors (or equivalent), and one engineering support service for onsite integration and deployment assistance (or equivalent). All deliverables must arrive within 90 calendar days of award. The reference system is the Discovair array G2+ manufactured by Squarehead Technology.
The system must detect, classify, and track Group 1 and Group 2 unmanned aircraft based on passive acoustic signatures without emitting radio frequency signals. Essential technical specifications include minimum 500-meter detection range for Group 1 UAS under optimal conditions, individual sensor units with IP65 or higher ingress protection, minimum 100-degree field of view in both azimuth and elevation per sensor, and man-portable units not exceeding 10 kilograms each. The system must network four or more sensors for distributed coverage and provide target location data (azimuth and elevation) over standard IP networks. Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance is required. Desired capabilities include detection and classification of Group 1–3 UAS, accurate geolocation and tracking, minimal operator training, expeditionary environment operation, and integration with Gov ATAK-compatible command-and-control systems.
Evaluation uses best value methodology with tradeoffs permitted, considering price and technical capability. Quotes are firm for 60 calendar days. NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing); PSC is 5865 (Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures And Quick Reaction Capability Equipment). Contractors must have an active SAM account and submit their CAGE or NCAGE code. Technical documentation shall not exceed 20 pages.
