Quick Summary

The United States Air Force (USAF), specifically AFLCMC/HBUK, has issued a DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) and Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) for Force Protection Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Sustainment, Engineering, & Integration Services (SEIS). This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity seeking industry feedback on draft requirement documents for an upcoming IDIQ contract. Responses are due March 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.

Purpose

This DRAFT RFP/FOPR serves as a Request for Information (RFI) to gather questions, comments, and concerns from industry on draft requirement documents for C-sUAS SEIS. The USAF aims to understand the market, identify qualified vendors for a Sustainment, Engineering and Integration Support (SEIS) Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, and gauge vendor potential for an initial task order. The C-sUAS mission involves defending critical assets against Group 1-3 UAS threats.

Requested Feedback

  • Draft IDIQ PWS: Scope and clarifications.
  • IDIQ Contract Gating Criteria: Ability to meet criteria with supporting artifacts.
  • Draft Task Order-1 (TO-1): Scope, risks, transition timelines (warehouse, FSR support, software team), issues with specific systems, CDRLs, DIDs, labor categories, and CLIN structure.
  • Section L&M: All elements, with particular interest in the self-scoring matrix for TO-1 evaluation. Access to CUI documents will be vetted through the ESS security office.

Submission Instructions

Responses must be submitted in writing, not exceeding 20 pages, plus a one-page cover letter (total 21 pages). Submissions should be organized according to document instructions and sent via electronic mail to Mr. Robert Gill (robert.gill.12@us.af.mil), Ms. Kristen Rienzo (kristen.rienzo@us.af.mil), and Captain Adam Factor (adam.factor.1@us.af.mil).
