These missions will be executed in combat zones supporting combat operations OCONUS, as well as non-combat operations CONUS. Offerors are expected to provide imagery services using non-developmental contractor-owned and contractor-operated unmanned aircraft systems. It is anticipated that the offeror would be able to support multiple simultaneous task orders within one procurement year with contractor personnel supporting DOD and Other Government Agencies (OGC), including Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements. Following contract award, the contractor shall be expected to deploy to land and/or ship based missions within 90 days.
