AI Contract Overview
The West Virginia Air National Guard intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to SkySafe, Inc. for a 12-month Software-as-a-Service subscription providing drone detection, tracking, and forensics coverage across Shepherd Field ANG Base and the surrounding Martinsburg, West Virginia area. This procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 due to SkySafe’s unique, hardware-free SaaS solution that delivers real-time and historical unmanned aircraft system telemetry—including altitude, location, velocity, and pilot location—without requiring any physical sensor deployment, maintenance, or upgrades on government property. The system has been independently verified by the Federal Aviation Administration to achieve a detection rate exceeding 95% for small UAS and is directly interoperable with the West Virginia Adjutant General’s statewide anti-UAS security architecture, making it the only commercially available solution that fully satisfies the Guard’s operational and integration requirements. All responsible parties may submit capability statements by August 7, 2026, to the designated point of contact, but the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of responses received. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 518210 for computing infrastructure and data processing services and PSC 7A21 for SaaS business application software. The contract will be administered through commercial acquisition procedures per FAR Part 12, with performance based at the West Virginia Air National Guard’s facility in Martinsburg. The solicitation number is W50S8V-26-Q-0026, and all submissions must clearly demonstrate an ability to match or exceed SkySafe’s infrastructure-free operation and FAA-certified performance metrics to be considered.
