FY26 GIS Harris Aerial Hx8 Kit

This solicitation, FA664326Q6007 titled FY26 GIS Harris Aerial Hx8 Kit, is a combined synopsis and solicitation issued by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Reserve Command at Robins AFB, Georgia, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. The requirement is exclusively awarded to Harris Aerial under CAGE code 7VQG7 as a sole source acquisition due to the necessity of proprietary integration with the government’s existing HX8 unmanned aircraft fleet, its C-NAVIGATOR and GS7 ground control systems, and the AirPixel hardware and software architecture that ensures interoperability, flight safety, and warranty compliance. The procurement includes three distinct contract line items: CLIN 0001 provides a Visual Payload consisting of a Sony ILX-LR1 61MP DSLR camera with Gremsy Pixy LR gimbal and AirPixel integration, four Tattu Plus 16,000 mAh 12S1P Smart Battery Racks, two transport cases for the battery assemblies, and associated shipping; CLIN 0002 delivers a Thermal/RGB Payload with a Workswell WIRIS Enterprise SC camera and Gremsy Pixy WE gimbal, fully integrated using the same proprietary architecture to enable sensor control and data validation; and CLIN 0003 covers mandatory engineering services and reimbursement of the Defense Contract Management Agency assessor fees required to achieve Blue UAS certification for the HX8 platform, C-NAVIGATOR GCS, and GS7 GCS. All payloads must be integrated exclusively through Harris Aerial’s proprietary systems to prevent interference with the flight controller, voiding warranties, or compromising flight safety. No competitive evaluation is applicable, and while the total contract value remains unspecified, the acquisition is not subject to any set-aside provisions and falls under NAICS code 336411 for aerospace product and parts manufacturing.
