About this opportunity
Air Education and Training Command issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Black River Systems Company, Inc. for the Ninja ES emulator system, with quotes and capability statements due by 10:00 AM CST on September 18, 2026. This is not a competitive procurement; the Government has determined under FAR 8.401 that only one source can meet the requirement. The 334th Training Squadron currently operates the Ninja Gen2 system for counter small unmanned aerial systems training and requires a compatible, integrated hardware and software solution to test, validate, and maintain that infrastructure as part of its curriculum. While other emulator systems exist in the market, none can guarantee 100% interoperability and compatibility with the Ninja Gen2 system. Interested parties may submit quotes and capability statements via email to zachary.willard.1@us.af.mil. The Government reserves the right not to compete the contract based on responses received.
