About this opportunity
The Alabama Army National Guard is conducting a sole-source procurement of a 4925 RF Front End Retrofit Kit for the Ninja C-sUAS system from Black River Systems Company, with competition restricted to that vendor per NGB A4S Memorandum dated 7 June 2024. The requirement addresses obsolescence of the legacy RFFE model, which faces supply chain constraints affecting warranty and maintenance contracts and delivers reduced engagement capability compared to the upgraded model. Black River Systems is the sole manufacturer of this device for the Ninja system. The contracting activity is the 117 Military Intelligence Squadron at the National Guard Bureau, Arlington, Virginia, procuring under firm fixed-price terms using O&M Air funding. The justification supports sole-source authority under FAR 6.302-1 (10 USC 2304(a)(1) or 41 USC 3304(a)(1)). Prior competition pursuit included Google, GSA Advantage, SAM.gov searches and a Sources Sought Notice posted 17 September 2025; only Black River Systems demonstrated capability and submitted pricing. The Contracting Officer has approved the quote as meeting fair and reasonable pricing standards. NAICS 334511; PSC 5865.
