This document, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30), serves to amend solicitation number N0016726Q1099, originally dated May 12, 2026. The primary purpose of this amendment, numbered 0001 and effective May 20, 2026, is to extend the response due date for offers from May 20, 2026, to May 28, 2026, at 12 PM Eastern Daylight Time. The amendment emphasizes that offerors must acknowledge receipt by completing items 8 and 15, returning copies, acknowledging on each offer copy, or sending a separate communication. Failure to acknowledge may lead to rejection of the offer. This modification ensures that all other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

The NSWCCD SAP Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo, effective April 2025, outlines the rationale for a non-competitive acquisition of one Skydio X10D Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a NightSense infrared attachment for Carderock Aerial Vehicle Operators. The justification is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), FAR 8.405-6, and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), citing brand name and sole source reasons. The Skydio X10D is specified as a necessary brand-name product due to its presence on the BlueSUAS list for DoD operations, a unique thermal sensor compatible with existing Code 741 and 742 processing software, and the fact that Carderock has already performed qualification flights with this specific UAV, minimizing additional training costs. This memo certifies the accuracy of the facts and representations for this procurement under the simplified acquisition threshold.
