What this contract is for

This is a notification to all vendors that the 142nd Wing intends to purchase a NINJA RF Front End Retrofit system via sole source to Black River Systems. Per NGB A4S Memo dated 7 June 2024 this item must be purchased from Black River Systems Company as NINJA is currently the USAD and ANGs Program of record for C sUAS. This update is a requirement for the legacy RFFE model which is obsolete due to supply chain issues impacting warranties and maintenance leading to reduced capabilities of the current system. Black River Systems is the only company that manufactures this device for the NINJA system. For further information see sole Source justification attached to this notice.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
