New Requirement, No Contract
No incumbent. A new requirement means nobody is defending a position here, and no one has an insider’s head start on the scope.

Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Market intelligence

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 334511 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.

Statement of work, as posted

The Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Program will provide capability to counter threats from UAS by detecting, identifying, monitoring, and tracking UAS; warning the UAS operator; disrupting control of the UAS; seizing or exercising control of the UAS; seizing or confiscating the UAS; and using reasonable force to disable, damage, or destroy the UAS. The C-UAS program is intended as a materiel solution which will provide capabilities to detect (find), track (fix), and mitigate (finish) UAS threats and negate nefarious actions such as: conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) against targets (e.g., DHS facilities, assets, and operations, critical infrastructure, mass gatherings); transporting illicit materials across U.S. borders (e.g., drugs, weapons, cash); conducting physical attacks (e.g., kinetic, weapons of mass destruction) against targets in the U.S.; and conducting attacks on U.S. cyber infrastructure. The C-UAS Program has a requirement for expanding Radio Frequency (RF) Data as a Service (DaaS) to five additional Sectors – Rio Grande Valley East, Laredo, El Paso, Yuma and Blaine. Acquisition Strategy: Sole source contract to a small business.
