Description

The U.S. Air Force, 48th Combat Support Wing at RAF Lakenheath, UK, intends to procure a limited set of Skydio X10D multi‑band drones, accompanying NightSense infrared attachments, and associated instructor‑led training from ADS Inc. under a sole‑source authority, citing the unique capabilities and proprietary nature of the equipment. The procurement is for three complete starter‑solution packages, each including a drone, IR attachment, and training. The notice is for informational purposes; interested parties may submit brief experience statements, though the contract is expected to be awarded without competition. • Procurement of 3 Skydio X10D starter‑solution drones (multi‑band) • Inclusion of Skydio NightSense IR attachments for each drone • In‑person instructor training for drone operation and maintenance • Sole‑source award to ADS Inc. based on unique capabilities • No formal RFQ or deadline disclosed; response limited to experience statements.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $250,000

Based on publicly available pricing for the Skydio X10D platform (approximately $20‑30 k per unit), the NightSense IR attachment (roughly $5‑8 k each), and professional instructor‑led training packages (estimated $15‑30 k total), the total contract value is likely in the low‑to‑mid six‑figure range. Additional costs for logistics, support, and potential spare parts could push the upper bound higher. Therefore, a reasonable estimate is between $100,000 and $250,000.
