Description

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has issued an RFI to collect market information on five Lines of Effort (LOEs) for small‑uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS): hardware, software, communications, sensors, and kinetics. The effort supports five distinct missions (Long‑Range One‑Way Attack, Air Interdiction, Medium‑Range OWA, Air‑Launched Effects, and Medium‑Range ISR). Vendors are asked to submit an unclassified 3‑5‑page capability paper, answer focus questions, and optionally provide a short video. No contract award is anticipated from this RFI, and the government will not pay for responses. • Five LOEs aligned to specific mission sets – hardware, software, comms, sensors, kinetics. • Submission deadline 30 Nov 2026, questions due 6 Nov 2026. • No budget disclosed; purely market research, no solicitation planned at this time. • Primary contact is Christopher Simendinger (contracting officer).

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $20,000,000

No monetary value is disclosed. Based on similar AFLCMC sUAS market‑research initiatives and the potential downstream procurement of production‑ready systems, the eventual contract could range from a few million dollars for a single sUAS platform to tens of millions for a suite of hardware, software, and sensor solutions. A conservative estimate would be $5 million to $20 million in total award value.
