The Department of the Air Force has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to procure DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 systems for the 91st Security Forces Group at Minot AFB, ND. This action is approved as a firm-fixed-price, brand-name contract. The Dronebuster Block 4 is a man-portable, handheld Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) required for base defense, security, and dismounted operations to detect, disrupt, and defeat drone threats via RF jamming and GNSS disruption. The statutory authority for this sole-source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing that the DZYNE Dronebuster Block 4 is the standard-issue handheld counter-drone system across the military and the only one authorized by the U.S. Department of War, ensuring interoperability and standardization. While a brand-name item, competition will be maximized among authorized distributors via a SAM.gov posting to ensure fair and reasonable pricing.
