USSOCOM anticipates the award of one or two Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts. The contract(s) will include a 54-month Period of Performance (POP), with four 12-month ordering periods followed by one 6-month ordering period. At time of contract award a task order(s) will be issued for each contract awarded. MEUAS III is a follow-on contract(s) for UAS ISR services supporting Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel and missions world-wide. This requirement is currently being performed by Insitu, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company) under contract H92222-13-D-0005 and by AAI Corp. d/b/a Textron Systems Unmanned Systems under contract H92222-12-D-0008. The new requirement is being solicited under NAICS 541330 with a Small Business Size Standard of $15.0 Million. Posting of the formal RFP on FedBizOpps is anticipated by 13 March 2015 with a projected award date of 15 November 2015. The contract will require contractor personnel to possess a minimum of a Secret clearance with select personnel required to possess a Top Secret clearance to provide 24-hours per day/seven days per week (24/7) ISR services support. The contractor(s) must also have a Top Secret Facility Clearance at time of award as accredited by the Defense Security Service. The Unmanned Aircraft System(s) (UAS) ISR services Performance Work Statement (PWS) requires the contractor to conduct all planning, coordination, certification, installation, pre-deployment, deployment, logistics, maintenance, flying, and post-deployment efforts necessary to successfully conduct world-wide missions. Tasks orders will be issued based on mission-defined locations (currently six operational sites) that will consist of 300 to 1200 hours per month of near real-time feed of ISR data availability from customer processing systems. Contractors shall provide these services using non-developmental contractor-owned, contractor-operated unmanned aircraft systems.

Both requirements must be capable of fulfilling a simultaneous Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) mission.
