Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a "Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)" for the "DroneShield Immediate Response Kit (LAK & FSH)". It outlines the rationale for procuring this specific item from a single source.

• Contracting Activity: 502d Contracting Squadron
• Project/Program Name: DroneShield Immediate Response Kit (LAK & FSH)
• Supplies/Services Required: Detection, identification, and tracking of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) to protect personnel, resources, and facilities. The system must have passive RF detection, integrate with Tactical Awareness Kit (TAK), be mobile, and have a wide detection range.
• Justification for Single Source: DroneShield is cited as the only source because its Initial Response Kit (IRK) uniquely integrates with TAK using the Cursor on Target (CoT) format. It offers a detection range of up to 10 km and a defeat range over 1 km. The DroneGun is approved by SOCOM, CENTCOM, and AFGSC as a system of record due to its proprietary AI-powered engine and continuous drone frequency library updates, which are not found in competing products.
• Efforts to Obtain Competition: Other similar solutions use active RF detection and require additional approvals. The Drone Gun can engage at longer distances.
• Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards: A previous purchase used a brand name justification that received competitive quotes. The government will continue to monitor the market for new sources.
• Technical Personnel Certification: The supporting data for this justification has been certified as accurate.

This document explains why the government is seeking to procure the DroneShield Immediate Response Kit from a single source. It details the specific capabilities required and the unique features of the DroneShield system that justify this approach. Bidders offering similar capabilities may find this information useful for understanding market gaps and future procurement opportunities.
