- This is a notice of intent from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to conduct a full and open competition in accordance with the requirements stated in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 for the procurement of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) services using slung loads to support deployed operational units. NAVAIR anticipates issuing a fixed price contract to include a base period for the pre-deployment preparation effort, including training, an option for a twelve month period of performance to include the actual deployment effort and possibly one (1) priced option for an additional period of performance of twelve months. The Government may award one or multiple contracts to satisfy NAVAIR's need to fulfill the immediate UAS Cargo services requirements. Tasks performed under this contract will include all engineering, technical, program management, maintenance and operation services to the United States Marine Corps Unmanned Air Vehicle Squadron (VMU), Cargo UAS Detachment. This service encompasses all maintenance, flight planning, flight operations of the Cargo UAS while deployed in OCONUS combat areas or other OCONUS cargo delivery missions as determined by the MAGTF commander. The contractor shall be required to provide the Cargo UAS capability, performing to the requirements stated within the solicitation. All equipment required to perform the service, other than any Government Furnished Property shall be furnished by the contractor. Contractors can expect to be embedded with VMU supporting the Marine Corps Expeditionary Brigade. FOR PLANNING PURPOSES The purpose of this notice is to provide industry with a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for a Cargo UAS Services Contract. Presently the Technical Performance Specification and Cargo UAS Services Statement of Work are available for review and may be obtained by contacting the NAVAIR Contract Specialist via a letter or e-mail for an electronic copy (see below for address and e-mail information). Prospective offerors that are interested in discussing the draft documents may request a one-on-one meeting by contacting the NAVAIR Contract Specialist.

Harritt, NAVAIR, Building 2272, 47123 Buse Road, Unit IPT, Room 155, Patuxent River, MD 20670 and electronically to Diana.Harritt@navy.mil.

No response will be provided to any question or comment with proprietary or restrictive markings. The Government may have a Pre-proposal conference prior to the release of the RFP. If a Pre-proposal conference is deemed necessary, a FEDBIZ announcement will be posted two weeks prior.
