Unmanned Government Bids & RFPs

This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes to identify sources capable of providing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) spanning U. S. Department of War (DOW) Group 1 and Group 2 classifications. The UAS are intended for one-way attack missions and must incorporate advanced terminal guidance features. The vendor must be a high-volume manufacturer with a secure and integrated supply chain. Key requirements include offering multiple drone platforms and configurations, various size variants, payload capacity up to 5 kg, FPV capability, and IR low-light camera capabilities. The terminal guidance system must have an integral operator-engaged auto-target and auto-engagement mechanism with pixel lock and override capabilities.

Vendors not meeting this must provide a detailed supply chain risk mitigation plan. All systems must be compliant with NDAA, TAA, and the Berry Amendment. The vendor should demonstrate proven past performance with the delivery of over 50,000 drone units annually for each of the past three years.

Interested parties must submit a capability statement (no more than 10 pages) including company information, business size, a detailed capability narrative addressing all requirements with specific examples and evidence, and product data sheets. Responses are due by May 5, 2026, and should be submitted via email to maj tiffany white and sfc justin bowling. This is not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded from this announcement.
