C-sUAS 4925 RFFE Retrofit

The 4925 RF Front End Retrofit is a critical component upgrade for the NINJA system, which serves as the USAF and Air National Guard’s primary program of record for counter-small unmanned aerial systems. This procurement is directed solely to Black River Systems due to their exclusive manufacturing capability for this specific retrofit, as mandated by the NGB A4S Memo dated 7 June 2024. The legacy RFFE model is no longer viable due to supply chain disruptions that have compromised warranty and maintenance support, along with diminished operational effectiveness compared to the updated version. No solicitation for quotes is being issued, and the purchase must proceed exclusively through Black River Systems to maintain system capability and interoperability. The contract is issued under solicitation number W50S8A26QA022 with a posting date of July 2, 2026 and a response deadline of July 16, 2026. It is classified as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334220, ensuring eligibility for small business concerns. The contracting activity is managed by the Department of Defense through the W7NN Uspfo Activity Nhang 155 located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with performance taking place in Newington, NH.
