Description

The U.S. Army is seeking a vendor to supply and support educational unmanned aerial systems for the 2nd Brigade, Division, and Education (2BDE) unit stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The contract will cover the provision of drone hardware, training materials, and ongoing technical support to enable classroom and field‑based instruction on drone operations, safety, and maintenance. This effort supports the Army’s broader initiative to integrate emerging technologies into soldier education and readiness programs. • Provide a fleet of educational drones configured for safe, low‑risk training environments. • Deliver accompanying curricula, user manuals, and instructor‑led training sessions. • Offer maintenance, warranty, and lifecycle support for the equipment over the contract period. • Ensure compliance with SBA set‑aside requirements and applicable federal acquisition regulations. • Coordinate delivery and on‑site installation at Fort Knox facilities.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

No contract value is disclosed, but educational drone programs for a brigade‑level Army unit typically range from a low‑six‑figure procurement to mid‑seven‑figure program costs. Assuming a modest fleet of training drones, associated curriculum development, and multi‑year support, the total contract value is likely between $100,000 and $500,000. Factors influencing the range include the number of drones required, the depth of training content, warranty length, and any additional integration services.
