About this opportunity
The United States Special Operations Command is soliciting training services in the fabrication and flying of First Person View (FPV) small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) through Request for Quotation H92240-26-Q-2001. The requirement calls for an 80-hour Course of Instruction (COI) to be delivered biannually to six personnel per class, covering 35 hours of FPV development fundamentals, 5 hours of supervised build instruction, and 40 hours of supervised flight instruction. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability in delivering comprehensive training that includes theory, system design, drone assembly, troubleshooting, and advanced flight techniques, with evaluation using a best-value tradeoff approach in which technical capability is significantly more important than price. Key submission deadlines include a question submission deadline that has already passed and a proposal due date of December 17, 2025, with quotes to be submitted via SAM.gov and emailed to jeffrey.s.morris.civ@socom.mil. Offerors must provide a 10-page technical narrative addressing course timeline, proposed sUAS types, facilities, instructor experience, and past performance, along with detailed unit pricing for the base year and two option years.
This solicitation is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with no identified incumbent contractor. The requirement is currently unfunded and contingent on appropriated funds availability per FAR Clause 52.232-18, with no specific award value disclosed in the solicitation documents. The base year performance period begins January 15, 2026, and extends through January 14, 2027, with two additional option years available, and performance will be conducted at the contractor's facility. Students will build two 5-inch FPV sUAS during the course and take them home upon completion, with training to be delivered across both indoor and outdoor controlled environments. The place of performance is identified as Virginia Beach, Virginia, and the applicable NAICS code 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) applies with a small business size standard of $16.5 million.
