Parrot ANAFI UKR ( UAS acquisition) for 11th Airborne Division

The document is a federal Request for Quote (RFQ) for the acquisition of 15 Parrot ANAFI UKR small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Certified Drones for the 11th Airborne Division. The solicitation, numbered W912D0-25-Q-A008, is a total small business set-aside. Key requirements include a delivery date no later than 120 days after award, with delivery to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska, and the contractor responsible for transportation costs. Quotes are due by September 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM Alaska Standard Time. Offerors must submit complete pricing, a technical capability narrative (not exceeding 5 pages), and general business information. The government will evaluate offers based on price and technical capability, considering past performance from the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

The document is a Determination Memorandum for Brand Name or Equal Acquisitions over the Micro-Purchase Threshold, specifically for the Parrot ANAFI UKR Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The acquisition, estimated at $336,381.90, is for short-range reconnaissance missions for combat units. The Parrot ANAFI UKR is approved by the Department of Defense Blue UAS program, is small and lightweight for airborne operations, and can operate in temperatures below -30 degrees F, a critical factor for the 11th Airborne Division which is already trained on its use. Market research indicates availability through GSA Advantage, with an initial observation of only large businesses on the BLUE UAS cleared list. However, further research identified small businesses certified as resellers of the Parrot ANAFI UKR, leading to the decision to set aside the requirement as a small business set-aside. The contracting office aims to award the contract before September 30, 2025, with delivery by October 30, 2025, to prepare soldiers for the JPMRC-Hawaii 26-01 training in October 2025.
