C-SUAS Equipment

The 97th Contracting Squadron at Altus Air Force Base is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) to procure Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) equipment, specifically soliciting DroneShield brand products or equivalent alternatives that meet the specified salient characteristics. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command seeks an Immediate Response Kit, Magnetic Antenna Kit Wideband, Rugged Tablet for Command and Control, and C2 Tactical Configuration to support tactical operations at Altus AFB. Evaluation will follow a two-factor methodology prioritizing technical acceptability and lowest evaluated price, with quotes deemed acceptable if they clearly meet all minimum solicitation requirements and unacceptable if they do not. The government will evaluate the total price of both the Funded CLIN (0001) and Unfunded CLIN (0002) together, reserving the right to award to other than the lowest quote if higher quality justifies the decision. Questions must be submitted by May 1, 2026 at 11:00 AM CST, with final quotes due by May 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM CST, and all submissions must remain valid for at least 30 days after solicitation closure.

This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside procurement with no identified incumbent contractors or budget range disclosed in the solicitation documentation. The requirement encompasses two contract line items, each with a quantity of one unit issued as lump sum—one funded CLIN for immediate acquisition and one unfunded CLIN for an optional second C-sUAS system should funding become available by July 1, 2026. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,350 employees. Delivery is required to Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma (Building 130), with FOB point at Destination, and all vendors must maintain current SAM.gov registration and provide certifications as of October 2025. Offerors must submit pricing on the solicitation document and technical proposals as separate secondary documents via email to the designated contracting officers.
