The Army's Fort Drum contracting office (MICC) is asking small businesses to show interest in a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (FY25-30) for small unmanned aircraft systems (drones) and repair parts. Bidders must be authorized distributors of at least one drone on the Blue UAS Cleared or Select lists. This is a sources sought notice, not a request for quotes.
Watch out for
- Must be an authorized Blue UAS distributor. Without a reseller agreement or approval letter for a listed drone, you cannot respond, and getting one depends on the manufacturer.
Offerors need to provide documentation, such as an approval letter or reseller agreement, confirming they are an authorized reseller listed on the Blue UAS Cleared List
- Sources sought only, no commitment. The Government is not seeking quotes and has no obligation to award, so time spent responding may not lead to work.
Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract because of this announcement.
- No feedback and no phone inquiries. You cannot ask questions by phone and will get no evaluation feedback.
Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged
