Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Detection Services

The Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington is procuring a commercially available, contractor-owned and operated Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) detection and alerting solution to support Joint Base Andrews and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. The subscription-based service must provide persistent air domain awareness through remote sensing, telemetry decoding, and pilot geolocation capabilities, delivering real-time data through secure web and mobile dashboards without requiring government-owned infrastructure or personnel maintenance. Key technical requirements include achieving greater than 95% detection accuracy for Group 1-2 unmanned aerial systems within 3-5 km in urban environments and 10-15 km in rural environments, real-time geolocation capabilities, and integration with government command-and-control systems like ATAK. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing technical acceptability, past performance based on two relevant C-UAS examples from the last three years, and price. The solicitation has been amended twice, with the final quote submission deadline extended to September 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees, and the original solicitation indicated it was set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract structure includes a base year running from September 2025 to September 2026, followed by four one-year option periods extending through September 2030, potentially creating a five-year engagement. The contractor must deploy the turnkey solution and achieve operational capability within 30 calendar days of contract award, with performance monitored through monthly reporting and random sample testing. Services will be performed at Joint Base Andrews in Camp Springs, Maryland, and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., with the place of performance listed as Callaway, Maryland.
