AI Contract Overview

The contract establishes a single-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle to operate a commercial-off-the-shelf online marketplace exclusively for small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) parts, awarded as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5. The procurement structure is hybrid, combining firm-fixed-price (FFP) for the mandatory security vetting of new sUAS components to ensure NDAA compliance, and time-and-materials (T&M) for the actual procurement of parts. The FFP component ensures predictable costs for security vetting, while the T&M approach for part acquisition allows the government to respond dynamically to changing mission needs without being locked into outdated or non-competitive pricing, since the types and quantities of required parts cannot be reliably forecasted over the contract’s life. This method enables real-time access to current commercial market rates, promoting fair and reasonable pricing for each transaction. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense under the Commanding General, with performance based in Encinitas, California, and administrative oversight originating from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It was competitively awarded through solicitation M6700126D0007, with primary point of contact Victoria Yardley and secondary contact David Bovee available for inquiries. The NAICS code 425120 reflects its focus on wholesale trade of industrial equipment, aligning with the marketplace’s role as a commercial distribution channel. The hybrid structure balances fiscal responsibility with operational agility, ensuring the government can rapidly acquire mission-critical parts while maintaining rigorous security standards and supporting small business participation.

Full Description

This action awards a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to establish a contractor-operated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) online marketplace for Small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) parts.

In accordance with FAR 5.705(b), this contract action was not entirely fixed-price.

The contract employs a hybrid structure to provide the best value and flexibility to the Government:

Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Component: This is used for the formal security vetting of new sUAS components to ensure compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This service has a definitive outcome and is appropriately priced on a fixed-price basis per vetting action.
Time & Materials (T&M) Component: This is used for the procurement of the actual sUAS parts from the marketplace.

A hybrid approach was selected because the costs associated with the procurement of commercial sUAS parts cannot be priced with certainty at the time of award. The specific parts, quantities, and market prices will vary for each order based on evolving mission requirements.

Using a Time & Materials (T&M) structure for the parts themselves (under CLIN 0002) is the most appropriate and cost-effective method because:

It is not possible to estimate with any reasonable degree of confidence the types and quantities of parts that will be required over the life of the contract.
The contract allows the Government to leverage publicly available, commercial market pricing for each part at the time of order, ensuring Fair & Reasonable prices are determined for each transaction. This prevents the Government from being locked into potentially outdated or non-competitive prices.

This hybrid structure provides the Government with the stability of fixed pricing for the vetting service while allowing the necessary flexibility to procure a wide and unpredictable range of commercial items in the most cost-effective manner. This action was awarded competitively as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside.
