About this opportunity

The Mississippi Army National Guard (MSARNG) is seeking to procure 6 Drone Anafi USA MIL KITs through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) solicitation to replace their divested RQ-7 Shadow Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The solicitation, numbered W9127Q25QA003, is a commercial item acquisition seeking a small business contractor to provide short-range reconnaissance drones that meet specific technical specifications, including DIU UAS Blue List compliance, 30-minute minimum endurance, and advanced encryption capabilities. The government will evaluate quotes based on three equally weighted factors: technical capability, price, and past performance history, with technical and past performance assessments being rated as acceptable or not acceptable. Interested offerors must submit comprehensive quotes including detailed product specifications, commercial warranties, country of origin, and company contact information by January 7, 2025, at 4:00 PM CDT. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by December 31, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT and will be answered through a solicitation amendment.

This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336411 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, targeting unmanned aircraft manufacturers. The drones will be delivered to Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with the government intending to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to the most advantageous offeror. The required UAS kit includes multiple components such as three smart batteries, an 8-inch display controller, multi-port USB charger, encrypted radio communication system, and a hard case. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with active status to be eligible for contract award. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement is for six drone kits delivered to a military installation, suggesting a focused, targeted acquisition to meet the Mississippi National Guard's specific unmanned aircraft system requirements.
