    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), intends to award a sole source contract to Spektreworks, Inc. for support services related to the Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) known as the FLM-136. The procurement aims to secure technical and operational support for test missions, leveraging Spektreworks' proprietary knowledge as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the FLM-136, which is critical for maintaining operator currency and ensuring compliance with training requirements. This acquisition is justified under the authority of 41 USC 1901 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as no other vendor possesses the necessary expertise or qualifications. Interested parties must submit their responses by October 3, 2025, to Olivia Harris at olivia.harris.1@us.af.mil, as this notice is not a request for proposals or quotations.

    This document is a Single Source Justification for a contract award to Spektreworks for technical and operational support of a test mission using the FLM-136 SUAS platform. Spektreworks is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the FLM-136 SUAS platform, possessing proprietary knowledge and expertise unavailable elsewhere. The sole source procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source." The justification highlights the FLM-136's design as an attritable asset without landing gear, making in-house operator currency training difficult without property damage. AFMAN 11-502 requires government operators to fly every 45 days to remain current, and without currency, the OEM must oversee flights for re-qualification. Market research confirmed no other vendor has the necessary technical knowledge, proprietary information, or qualifications. Future competition may increase as SUAS manufacturing standardizes, potentially allowing surrogate vehicles for currency training.
