About this opportunity
The 177th Fighter Wing Contracting Office intends to sole-source a contract to Black River Systems Company, Inc. for BR4925R Ninja RFFE System upgrades under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), with responses due by July 29, 2026. The set-aside is Total Small Business. This notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive quotes; however, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements may submit written information describing their ability to provide the product, and the Government reserves discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
The Ninja system is the USAF and Air National Guard's program of record for counter-small unmanned aircraft system capability protecting airbases, currently deployed at over 20 Air National Guard bases. Black River Systems is the sole manufacturer of the RFFE device compatible with Ninja. The upgrade replaces the legacy 284501 RFFE with the 4925 RFFE Retrofit Kit, addressing supply chain issues affecting warranty and maintenance contracts and improving engagement capability. The estimated contract value is $93,000. Market research determined no viable third-party options exist for system updates and upgrades; replacing the entire Ninja system is prohibitively costly due to capital expenditure requirements, sunk investment loss, and additional licensing and retraining expenses. The award will be issued as a delivery order under Black River Systems' GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. Contact Contracting Officer Johanna Paz at 609-761-6097.
