About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command's 56th Range Management Office at Luke AFB, Arizona has issued a sole source justification for the acquisition of an Event 38 Unmanned Systems E400 ISR Drone valued at $72,856.07. The contract FA488725P0032 was awarded on June 25, 2025, to an unknown vendor for one complete unmanned aerial system package that includes the drone, hardcase, mapping payload, Nextvision Camera Suite, batteries, charger, spare parts, and training/support services. The sole source justification is based on the determination that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with the acquisition requiring special waivers from both SAF/CN and SAF/AQ due to American Security Drone Act prohibitions on certain foreign-manufactured drones. The purchase represents a one-time waived acquisition that operates under controlled environment conditions and cyber vulnerability risk mitigation strategies, with the operational approval valid until April 30, 2026. This simplified acquisition demonstrates the Air Force's need for specialized unmanned aircraft capabilities while navigating regulatory restrictions on foreign drone technology.
