    The document outlines a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a service provider to support target procurement and management for Joint Counter-Object (JCO) and Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) events from January to December 2025. Key requirements include detailed cost estimates for materials, labor, storage, and travel, with specific deliverables for two events. Event One, scheduled for late March to late April 2025, involves procurement and piloting of model aircraft, with options for storage if targets remain after the event. The contractor must provide targets, including Group 1 rotary wing and Group 3 delta wing models, meeting specified characteristics. Pilots must have a SECRET clearance, possess relevant certifications, and demonstrate substantial experience in conducting similar tests for government projects. The contractor's ability to simulate adversarial scenarios through open-source analysis is essential. The RFQ emphasizes the necessity of sanitizing targets and ensuring no tracking capabilities exist. The overall aim is to ensure the effective execution of the planned airborne operations while adhering to government standards and requirements.
