About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Alabama Army National Guard announced a sole source notification for Ninja System Warranty services through Black River Systems, with a protest period closing August 18, 2026. This procurement is restricted to total small business set-aside and is limited to Black River Systems, the only manufacturer capable of providing warranty support for the Ninja C-sUAS system currently owned by the 117th Security Forces; obtaining warranty services from any other vendor would void Black River's ability to provide equipment replacement or future warranty coverage.
The requirement covers annual warranty support, software library updates, customer service and help desk support, web-portal access, and RMA evaluation for Ninja GEN2, TRx, and related hardware systems on a per-system, one-year firm fixed-price basis. Contracting authority is cited under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) and 41 USC 3304(a)(1). The National Guard conducted market research confirming that Ninja is the USAF and ANG Program of Record for C-sUAS capability and obtained comparative quotes from multiple Black River variants to establish price reasonableness. This represents a new firm fixed-price contract action funded under O&M, Air, with the point of contact being SMSgt Justin Hollingsworth at 117 Military Security Forces. A prior related contract (W50S6M-25-F-A017, dated September 30, 2025) was also awarded on a sole source basis for the same services.
