ACC/A4SA Dronebuster Block 4 Requirement

The contract pertains to the procurement of 40 units of the Dronebuster Block 4 system, a counter-small unmanned aircraft system (C-sUAS) designed to detect, analyze, and defeat unauthorized drones through signal manipulation and spoofing. The requirement is directed by the Department of Defense, specifically the HQ ACC AMIC office located in Hampton, Virginia, with delivery scheduled to ten different CONUS locations at four units per site, all to be completed within 120 days after receipt of order. The evaluation method is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), where the lowest-priced offer that meets all mandatory technical criteria—including compliance with the salient characteristics outlined in Attachment 1 covering detection, frequency coverage, defeat mechanisms, durability, and command and control—will be selected, with no trade-offs permitted. Technical acceptability is binary: failure on any sub-factor results in disqualification, making complete compliance non-negotiable. All contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and WAWF, and must submit proposals via email to the designated contracting officers by the June 30, 2026 deadline. Compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses is extensive and includes mandatory Unique Item Identification (UUI) using MIL-STD-130-compliant Data Matrix symbology, adherence to MIL-STD-129 for shipping and labeling, and full implementation of cybersecurity protections per NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012. Contractors must also affirm their size status under NAICS 334511, prohibit procurement from the Xinjiang region, comply with Buy American requirements, and submit all invoices and receiving reports exclusively through WAWF using specific document types. Additional obligations include reporting 13 data elements per item, verifying supply chain integrity, ensuring employment eligibility and anti-trafficking compliance, and adhering to electronic funds transfer and small business utilization provisions. All items require specific marking, including enterprise identifiers and serialized data encoded per ISO/IEC standards, with no physical issuance of agency codes on items. No contract price is specified in the solicitation as pricing is to be submitted by offerors, and no option periods, extensions, or key personnel clauses are included.
