RFI - Contractor Support Approaches for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) issued a market‑research Request for Information seeking innovative sustainment concepts for an operational fleet of offensive small one‑way attack unmanned aircraft systems (O‑sUAS). Respondents must address all 12 Integrated Product Support Elements (IPSEs) and focus on rapid point‑of‑need repair, supply‑chain integration, and surge capability. Submissions are limited to 10 pages and are due by late October. • Scope covers full life‑cycle support – engineering, maintenance, training, IT, logistics, manpower, etc. • Emphasis on agile, contested‑environment logistics and rapid repair/field services. • Respondents may propose trade‑offs such as expendable airframes versus reusable ground support infrastructure.
