Force Protection Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Sustainment, Engineering, & Integration Services (SEIS)

The U.S. Air Force Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) office (AFLCMC/ESSK) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to understand the market for C-sUAS integration, development, training, and sustainment services. The RFI aims to identify qualified vendors, assess their ability to meet contract gating criteria, and gauge their interest in an initial task order. The mission is to defend critical assets from Group 1-3 UAS threats, which vary in size, speed, and operating altitude, ranging from commercial to military-grade. The RFI details basic information requirements, contractor proficiencies in technical, cyber, and logistics areas, and requests feedback on a draft Performance Work Statement and Gating Criteria. Vendors are also asked to provide feedback on a draft Task Order-1 scope, including technical data needs, risks, and transition timelines. Submissions are due by November 21, 2025, and are solely for informational and planning purposes, not constituting a solicitation.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for Force Protection Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Engineering & Sustainment Services for the Air Force Life Cycle and Management Center, Force Protection Systems Division (AFLCMC/ESS). The scope covers the ongoing development, integration, installation, and sustainment of the Medusa System of Systems (SoS), including software upgrades, new capability integration, and all necessary fielding, maintenance, and sustainment activities. Key contractor responsibilities include program management, digital program support, system planning and installation, capability development, integration, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and comprehensive sustainment support. The SOW emphasizes compliance with various federal, state, and local regulations and standards, ensuring operational availability for C-sUAS equipment. It also details the transition processes for both ramp-up and close-out of the contract.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements for contractors to provide comprehensive lifecycle support for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Force Protection Division (AFLCMC/ESS) Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) program. This includes development, integration, test, procurement, fielding, training, maintenance, and sustainment of C-sUAS equipment and systems. Key areas of support encompass capability development and enhancement, system procurement, integration of new hard-kill systems, sustainment (including warehousing, inventory, and software updates), program management, Government Furnished Property (GFP) management, and stringent security protocols. The contractor is responsible for transitioning existing work, ensuring operational availability across CONUS and OCONUS locations, and complying with all federal, state, and local laws, as well as Air Force security and safety regulations.

This document provides supplemental information for an acquisition effort related to Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) sustainment and equipment installation. It details the number of sites requiring full-time FSR and flyout support across various MAJCOMs (NORTHCOM, PACAF, AFCENT, USAFE) over a base year and four option years, with total sites increasing annually. The document also outlines the quantity of C-sUAS equipment installations per MAJCOM and year, noting that installations typically take two weeks with four contractor personnel. A draft list of supported C-sUAS equipment from various vendors is provided, alongside staffing for software scrum teams and additional software details, including user station, server, pipeline, development environment, messaging, middleware, and functional components.
