The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) on behalf of the Aircraft Program Management Office (AIR PMO), acting under the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Robotic and Autonomous Systems (PAE RAS) at Patuxent River, MD, intends to compete and award a limited source Firm Fixed Price (FFP) type Delivery Order. This order will be competed under one of four existing Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) to the below vendors for the procurement of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Maritime Services:

• N0001925G1000: Insitu, Inc. (Insitu), East Columbia Way, Bingen, WA

The delivery order will secure contractor-owned, contractor-operated UAS ISR services utilizing Maritime B-kits #7-#9 in support of multiple combatant commands. Contractors will be responsible for resources to produce sensor data, such as trained personnel, non-developmental UAS equipment, shipboard operations and logistics Conex containers, certifications, operation and maintenance, SpaceX Starshield SATCOM-capable hardware, spares, and product support. Contracted services would be in direct support of ISR missions requiring around-the-clock imagery and other sensor capability in support of those missions.
