About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command is procuring one FLIR R80D SkyRaider Mission Kit through the 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base. The comprehensive procurement includes two SkyRaider vehicles, EO/IR payloads, base station equipment, isotope identification detector, Pix4D mapping software, spare parts, long-endurance batteries, an R80D simulator, and five-day on-site training. This sole-source acquisition is justified based on the R80D SkyRaider being the only drone capable of meeting the base's extreme environmental requirements of cold temperatures and high wind speeds while maintaining semi-autonomous piloting capabilities. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability to meet Performance Work Statement specifications and price, comparing quotations against the government estimate. The response deadline is Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. CST, with quotes required to remain valid through September 30, 2025.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 336413 with a size standard of 1,350 employees. While Teledyne FLIR is the manufacturer, they have two authorized small business resellers eligible to compete for this requirement. The procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as the R80D SkyRaider is the only model on the Air Force Special Operations Command's Approved Procurement and Operations List that meets the specific operational requirements. The contract includes delivery F.O.B. Destination to Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. The government has noted that funds are not currently available and reserves the right to cancel the solicitation before or after the closing date without reimbursing offeror costs.
