Emerging Threats in Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Warfare

The Department of the Navy, via NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, is seeking quotes for specialized training on emerging threats in Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) warfare. This requirement supports Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 12 (EODMU12) and is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12. The government plans to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract for a five-day training course and a three-day scenario-based event, both to be held in Virginia. Training topics include microcontroller programming, 3D printed attachments, and the use of non-NDAA compliant commercial-off-the-shelf platforms. Amendment 0001 extended the response deadline to June 3, 2026, and updated the Performance Work Statement. The contractor must provide a training facility within 50 miles of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Student capacity is set at 12 for the standard course and 8 for the scenario training, with all payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system. This requirement consists of a five-day Emerging Threats sUAS Training Course and a three-day Scenario-Based Training event for EODMU12. Amendment 0001 updated the technical scope to include non-NDAA compliant COTS platforms, 3D printed attachments, and microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Training must be held at a facility within 50 miles of JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia, for 12 students in the primary course and 8 in the scenario portion. Instruction focuses on hands-on technical training for microcontrollers, digital logic circuits, and 3D-printed attachments.
