Scope: Federal

Background The U.S.

Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is issuing this Call for Solutions against Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) W58RGZ-26-S-C001 under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3458.

This Call will competitively acquire and onboard innovative commercial Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the Group 3 classification onto the Drone Marketplace.

A Group 3 UAS is defined by the Department of Defense as an aircraft that weighs between 55 pounds and 1,320 pounds (maximum gross takeoff weight), operates at altitudes up to 18,000 feet above mean sea level, and typically flies at speeds less than 250 knots.

This is intended to be an open and enduring call to continuously survey and onboard new technology for a period not to exceed five (5) years.

The Government reserves the right to alter or cancel this call at any time.

The UAS Marketplace is a strategic initiative designed to scale the industrial base and accelerate the delivery of UAS capabilities by empowering Soldiers with the freedom to choose the equipment that best meets their mission needs.

This approach marks a significant pivot from traditional acquisition models to a dynamic, free-market concept.

The primary goal of this Call is to identify and assess innovative Group 3 UAS solutions for placement on the UAS Marketplace.

The process is designed to evaluate systems and onboard them to the UAS Marketplace, culminating in one of two levels of procurement readiness: Provisional or Cleared.

It is critical for all offerors to understand that this Call’s primary purpose is to establish a pool of qualified vendors available for purchase on the UAS Marketplace.

The onboarding process and establishment of a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) does not constitute a production contract or guarantee any future orders.

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
