    RFQ Tethered UAS GSA Posted.pdf
    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of a Variable Height Antenna System utilizing a tethered Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). This system is designed to elevate tactical mesh radios for enhanced video transmission capabilities in tactical and strategic operations. The anticipated delivery timeline is 90 days post-order, with deliveries to be coordinated with the ATF in Charlotte, NC. The contract is set aside for small businesses under NAICS Code 336411. Included in the RFQ are requirements for compliance with ATF policies, security procedures, federal regulations, and standards of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Additionally, all products developed under this contract will become ATF property. Contractors must comply with various clauses, including restrictions on subcontracting and prohibitions concerning telecommunications equipment connected to foreign entities defined as "covered." They must also ensure adherence to regulations associated with data privacy, background investigations, and security clearances for contractor personnel in Public Trust positions. The RFQ represents ATF's commitment to leveraging advanced technology for law enforcement missions while maintaining regulatory compliance and cybersecurity standards.
    Variable Height Antenna-Tethered UAS-SOW 083024.pdf
    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is soliciting proposals for the provision of five Tethered UAS (Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems) with Variable Height Antenna capabilities. The objective is to enhance tactical mesh radio coverage in areas lacking cell service. These systems must operate effectively in austere environments, extending video transmission range by raising tactical mesh radios between 200-300 feet above ground using tethered drones powered by portable gasoline generators. Requirements for the UAS include specific size and weight constraints for portability, durability standards, self-landing features, emergency functions, the ability to support multiple payloads (including radios and video cameras), and must not emit any radio frequency signatures. Additionally, the UAS must come with comprehensive training, maintenance kits, and must be manufactured in the U.S. with no Chinese components. Successful vendors must ensure delivery within 90 days of the contract award and provide operational training within one calendar year. This request reflects ATF's commitment to optimizing surveillance capabilities and tactical responses in remote areas.
