About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command (SOCCENT) has issued a Special Notice for an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Procurement using a single-source contract approach. The notice was published on March 10, 2025, with a response deadline of March 24, 2025. The procurement is categorized under the NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and the Product Service Code 1550 for Unmanned Aircraft. The contract opportunity is being pursued under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(B)(1)(i), which allows for solicitation from a single source under specific circumstances. This Special Notice is not a formal Request for Proposal and does not constitute a commitment by the government to award a contract.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about SOCCENT's intent to procure an Unmanned Aerial System through a simplified acquisition procedure. Contractors should understand that this is a voluntary technical description submission, and no funds are available for response preparation. The government may proceed with a single-source contract if it determines that only one source is reasonably available, which could be due to factors such as urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name requirements, or industrial mobilization needs. Eligibility criteria are not explicitly defined, but the notice suggests that contractors with unique capabilities in UAS technology may be considered. Interested parties are advised that submitting information is completely voluntary, and the government retains full discretion in the contract award process. The notice emphasizes that responses will not be considered offers, and there is no guarantee of contract award.
