About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of a small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) to support the 1st Marine Division's demonstration activities at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. The justification was awarded to W.S. Darley & Co. under contract M00681-26-P-0002 on October 20, 2025, for one MARDIV Critical Surveillance Supply Suite 1.1 on a firm-fixed-price basis. The sole source award was necessitated by urgent, time-sensitive requirements that emerged during a Government Shutdown, which prevented the Marine Corps from pursuing competitive procurement channels to meet the critical delivery deadline. The requirement supported Headquarters Marine Corps efforts to showcase modernization in autonomous systems and Marine Air-Ground Task Force capabilities during the Navy and Marine Corps 250th birthday commemoration and amphibious assault demonstration. While the specific contract value was redacted in the justification document, the Contracting Officer determined the award price to be fair and reasonable based on commercial pricing standards. The Regional Contracting Office MCIWEST intends to pursue competitive procurement for similar future requirements in accordance with applicable competition regulations.
