About this opportunity
The 114th Fighter Wing Contracting Office at Joe Foss Field, South Dakota, published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Black River Systems Company, Inc. This procurement is being conducted under the Department of the Army National Guard and falls under the Total Small Business set-aside category. The contract covers the BR4925R Ninja RFFE System along with comprehensive support services including annual software support, library updates, customer service, help desk support, and hardware warranty extensions for both Ninja Gen2 and TRx systems. The procurement is justified under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) due to the proprietary nature of the specialized equipment requiring replacement. The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price Delivery Order under Black River Systems' existing GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract.
The primary objective of this procurement is to update and upgrade the Black River Systems Ninja Counter sUAS (small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) system currently deployed at Joe Foss Field to support the 114 Security Forces Squadron's unmanned aircraft protection mission. While this is not a request for competitive quotes, the government has invited any interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements to submit written information describing their capabilities to provide the specified products and services. The sole source justification is based on Black River Systems being the exclusive manufacturer of this proprietary system, with no third-party alternatives available to perform the required system updates and maintenance. Market research confirmed that BRS does not provide other companies with access to the technical information necessary to complete these specialized upgrades. The contract is scheduled for award on September 6, 2025, with funding provided through Operations and Maintenance Air sources, and any responses received will be used solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted.
