Skydio X10 Starter Kit

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) is procuring one Skydio X10 Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) starter kit to enable the 502nd Air Base Wing to train staff and capture still and motion imagery for various mission partner requirements in accordance with JBSA guidance and AFMAN 11-502. The solicitation was initially for a Skydio X2D model but was amended on September 4, 2025, to change the requirement to a Skydio X10 with part number DR4DSBN3IZA1000NA, extending the response deadline to September 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time. The procurement supports multiple mission areas including command and control, emergency management, civil engineering, mapping, facility support, security inspections, public affairs operations, and safety services. The government will evaluate quotes using the lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA) method with a pass/fail technical evaluation, requiring vendors to submit product data and ISBN information. This is a brand name requirement with no reconditioned or used parts acceptable, and the government intends to make a single firm-fixed-price purchase order award based on initial submissions.

This procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns under NAICS code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,500 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation, though the single source justification indicates an estimated total that has been redacted. The SUAS must meet specific technical specifications including a maximum range of 7.5 miles, maximum speed of 36 mph, and secure 4K60P HDR video streaming capability while complying with Trade Agreement Act and Buy American Act requirements. Delivery is required within 150 days after order receipt, specifically by February 12, 2026, to the 502 ABW/PA facility located at 3170 Stanley Road, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The procurement includes standard manufacturer's warranty with no additional training required, and the system will enhance the Small Uncrewed Aircraft System Operator training program for Air Force military and civilian personnel as well as personnel from other services and JBSA units.
