About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground, Tobyhanna Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole-source contract to Orqa D.O.O, a Croatian company based in Osijek. This special notice pertains to the procurement of small unmanned aircraft system kits that include brand name items, classified under NAICS code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract will be awarded without competition directly to Orqa as they are identified as the only source capable of providing the required mission-capable electronics kits. The notice was posted on June 30, 2025, with responses due by July 5, 2025. The procurement falls under the Department of the Army's defense operations and involves unmanned aircraft systems.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform the contracting community of the Army's intent to award a non-competitive contract for electronics kits that must integrate seamlessly with RIA-JMTC-produced airframes. Orqa was selected as the sole source because they are the only vendor capable of guaranteeing complete interoperability and mission readiness within the Tobyhanna Army Depot's required fielding timeline. The contractor must demonstrate full compliance with National Defense Authorization Act Section 889 to ensure supply chain integrity and adherence to federal regulations. The acquisition will proceed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisitions Procedures and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items guidelines, specifically utilizing the sole source authority under 13.501(a)(1)(ii). This is explicitly not a solicitation for competitive quotes, and the government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to compete this requirement.
