About this opportunity
The Oregon Army National Guard (142nd Wing) issued a sole-source intent notice on July 2, 2026, for procurement of a NINJA RF Front End Retrofit system, annual support, and warranty from Black River Systems, with the justification document due to vendors by July 30, 2026. The National Guard Bureau A4S Memo dated June 7, 2024, designates NINJA as the United States Army and Army National Guard Program of Record for counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS), and Black River Systems is the sole authorized manufacturer and support provider. The legacy RFFE model has become obsolete due to supply chain issues affecting warranties and maintenance capabilities. The new modular NINJA 4925 RFFE serves as a drop-in replacement for discontinued hardware, featuring integrated support across all Ninja RF signal bands, increased peak transmit power for enhanced countermeasures, and RF band-agile configuration to address swarms and mass attacks. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price procurement using operations and maintenance air funding. The contracting officer certified fair and reasonable pricing on July 1, 2026; the technical representative certified the justification on June 16, 2026. Black River Systems is identified as the only vendor manufacturing the hardware and providing compatible support and warranty services for existing Ninja equipment on base.
