The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has issued a presolicitation Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number sUAS_RPRD_2026 to identify domestically produced, production-ready Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) and related components.

The government is specifically interested in Group 1, 2, and 3 platforms, with a requirement that production-ready systems be available within six months of a potential contract award. Key requirements emphasize strict regulatory and security compliance, including adherence to section 848 of the FY 2020 NDAA, FAA regulations, and ITAR export controls. Systems must feature robust cybersecurity and anti-tamper protections to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Respondents must provide detailed company information, including their SAM registration, CAGE code, and small business status, while disclosing any non-U.S. manufacturing. As this is currently an RFI for market research purposes, it does not constitute a formal solicitation, and no formal contract value or award evaluation factors have been established. Responses are due by November 30, 2026.

It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. CBP is not currently seeking proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay any cost incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP. If a solicitation is released, it will be via the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this website for any information that may pertain to this RFI. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. All submissions become the property of the Federal Government and will not be returned.


The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO) is seeking industry input regarding a potential acquisition strategy that would consolidate sustainment, logistics, and related support services for the P-3 Orion, DHC-8, and C-130 aircraft under a single contract vehicle.  CBP intends to retire the P-3 fleet over the next decade and requires a strategy that will ensure effective sustainment of the remaining fleets throughout this transition period.


This market research effort is intended to:


  • Assess the feasibility of combining multiple aircraft platforms under one acquisition strategy.
  • Identify potential efficiencies, cost savings, and process improvements achievable through consolidation.
  • Evaluate industry capability to manage and execute sustainment activities across multiple aircraft platforms.
  • Identify potential risks, including technical, schedule, and supply chain considerations, and recommended mitigation strategies.

The requested feedback should consider the following areas:


  1. Technical Feasibility: Ability to provide integrated sustainment support for the P-3, DHC-8, and C-130 fleets.
  2. Contract Approach: Recommended contract types, pricing structures, and performance incentives to encourage innovation and cost efficiency.
  3. Risk Identification: Anticipated challenges and risk mitigation strategies for combined platform sustainment.
  4. Teaming Arrangements: Capability to support multiple aircraft platforms, including recommended prime/subcontractor teaming models.
  5. Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot-Level Maintenance: Recommendations for structuring maintenance across all three levels for a multi-aircraft fleet.
  6. Logistics and Supply Chain Support: Strategies for managing parts availability, supply chain risk, and inventory control across platforms.
  7. Transition Planning: Approaches for sustaining P-3 operations during its retirement timeline while supporting ongoing DHC-8 and C-130 operations.
  8. Contract Vehicle Design: Recommendations for single vs. multiple award strategies, incentive structures, and performance metrics to ensure optimal vendor performance.
