To identify U.S. small business concerns having an interest in and capability to provide support for INL Bogota�s potential spray unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) program. Responses to this notice may be considered in selecting the acquisition strategy and to determine the appropriateness of setting aside this requirement for any one of the small business programs described in FAR Part 19. Information in this notice is preliminary and subject to change. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Quotations (RFQ), Invitation for Bids (IFB), or a commitment on the part of the government to conduct a solicitation in the future. All information provided is strictly voluntary. The Government will not reimburse contractors for the costs of responding to this notice or otherwise participating in market research activities. Further, the US Department of State offers no assurance that a solicitation will result from this notice. Proprietary information should be minimized and must be clearly marked. BACKGROUND The Department of State, INL Bogota, has a requirement to purchase spray UAV systems to support eradication operations throughout Colombia. This program will be under the operational command of the Colombian National Police (CNP). Coca cultivation in Colombia remains at record highs and eradication operations in Colombia remain dangerous. INL Bogota is seeking to bolster the CNP�s capability to increase the coca eradication rates and minimize the risk for police personnel in the field. REQUIRED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Refer to Attachments B and C for draft technical specifications and concept of operations. EXPECTED CONTRACT TYPE The Department expects to award one (1) IDIQ for this requirement. REQUESTED RESPONSE Prospective offerors interested in responding to this notice should submit information electronically to FernandezJM@state.gov no later than 10:00 am ET on June 16, 2022. The Government will consider responses submitted in the Attachment A format. The use of this format is required to facilitate the efficient analysis of responses. Responses providing partial information may not be considered by the Government. Questions, if any, must be sent to FernandezJM@state.gov. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted at this time. The Government will not provide feedback to respondents. The Government reverses the right to conduct one-on-one interviews. Depending on the number of responses received one-on-one interviews may not be conducted with all respondents.
