About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is for research at the Army Research Laboratory to improve the endurance, noise reduction, and durability of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial systems. The justification cites that market research determined Carbon Consultants, a HUBZone small business, as the only company capable of performing the required research. As a result, the sole source award was made to Carbon Consultants for $3,998,027.75 over a one-year base period and one-year option to reduce noise from a Group 2 UAS and potentially scale the technologies to a Group 3 UAS. The contract was subsequently awarded to an unknown vendor on June 30, 2020 for an unknown amount.
Notice text
This HUBZone sole source effort focuses on Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) research that has the following attributes: reduced UAS noise signature; develop hybrid power plant and active variable pitch propeller system to increase range and endurance; enhance UAS control during VTOL operations; and improve UAS propulsion system durability to achieve time-between-overhaul (TBO) of at least 1900 hours.
Awarded contract W911NF20C0050 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2020-06-30.
