AI Contract Overview

The 439th Contracting Flight at Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts, is pursuing a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for the acquisition of one DEXA DE-2020 autonomous aircraft system, designated as a Group 2 Unmanned Aircraft System, to fulfill critical mission support needs including autonomous supply delivery and airborne surveillance, identification, tracking, and response capabilities for small unmanned aircraft systems operating in restricted airspace. The procurement is strictly limited to Drone Express (DEXA) under FAR 6.302-1(b) due to the vendor’s unique regulatory standing, which includes FAA S-1 Approved List Certification under Section 44807 and FAA Part 135 air carrier certification—capabilities not held by any other provider and essential for Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight operations. The system must meet stringent technical specifications: a carbon fiber hexacopter frame with six brushless motors, a Pixhawk Blue Cube or higher autopilot, a weight between 20 and 25 pounds, a payload capacity of five pounds, a minimum 45-minute battery life, a range of at least four miles, and an emergency parachute recovery system. The contract includes a two-day, onsite training program with “Train the Trainer” certification for government personnel and a one-year maintenance plan requiring OEM-approved parts, quarterly or bi-monthly software updates, and a comprehensive configuration management system for hardware and software logs. All deliverables are to be provided at Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts, with a firm delivery deadline of August 2026. The estimated contract value is $25,999, comprising $24,999 for the drone and $1,000 for training; the maintenance plan is included but not explicitly priced. The acquisition is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336411, and DEXA is presumed to qualify as a small business given the solicitation's structure and lack of alternative vendors. Responses are not competitive but must be submitted by May 8, 2026, to the Contracting Officer, Robert E. Stacy, via email, and may influence the government’s final determination on whether to proceed with sole-source award. Payment will be processed via the Government Purchase Card, and no formal clauses or packaging standards are cited beyond regulatory certifications. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site, with the government retaining final authority. The system’s regulatory compliance, operational

Full Description

This document is a combined synopsis and solicitation/ Sole source for commercial items, prepared in accordance with the format in RFO Part 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The 439th Contracting Flight, Westover Air Reserve Base, MA, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to Drone Express (DEXA) for the procurement of one (1) DEXA DE-2020 autonomous aircraft system. The DEXA DE-2020 is required to support the 439th Mission Support Group's need for a drone capable of autonomous delivery of supplies, as well as to provide airborne surveillance, identification, tracking, and response capabilities for small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) operating in or near restricted airspace. This system is essential for testing and validation of installation sUAS and Counter-sUAS (C-sUAS) capabilities.

The procurement includes the following:

DEXA DE-2020 Drone: A multi-rotor hexacopter with the following minimum specifications:
- Carbon fiber frame
- Six (6) brushless motors
- Pixhawk Blue Cube or greater autopilot
- Weight: 20-25 lbs
- Maximum cruise speed: 40 mph
- Payload capacity: 5 lbs
- Minimum battery life: 45 minutes
- Minimum range: 4 miles
- Emergency parachute recovery system
- FAA S-1 Approved List Certification (under Section 44807) and Part 135 certification
Training: A two-day, onsite training program for government personnel on the UAS. This will include a "Train the Trainer" certification.
Maintenance: A one-year maintenance plan.

2. Place of Performance and Delivery:

The drone and all associated services shall be delivered to Westover Air Reserve Base, MA. The required delivery date is by August 2026.

3. Justification for Sole Source:

The authority for this sole-source procurement is RFO 6.103-1(b) – "One responsible source." Market research has indicated that no other vendors are capable of providing a Group 2 weighted UAS comparable to the DE-2020 that meets the government's requirements. DEXA's (Drone Express) regulatory posture, including FAA S-1 designation and Part 135 certification, and its aircraft's specific capabilities for Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) operations, make it the only vendor that can provide a comparable combination of autonomous airborne response, secure communications, and regulatory readiness.

4. Submission of Information:

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit, in writing, a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Information can be sent to Robert E. Stacy, Contracting Officer, at robert.stacy.2@us.af.mil. The response must be received no later than Friday, May 8, 2026

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
