SVBU Regression Testing Targets

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the AFLCMC EBHK office, has issued this pre-solicitation notice under solicitation number FA8213-26-R-B004 for contractor service support for an upcoming three-day flight test. The requirement includes the refurbishment of three existing unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and six trailers, as well as the transport of these vehicles and all necessary support equipment. The contractor must provide all personnel, including a mechanic, alongside the services, facilities, and materials required to perform the effort and assist with test planning. This procurement is classified under NAICS 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, and PSC L023, Technical Representative- Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles.

The performance scope requires all UGVs and trailers to be laser safe and capable of operating in remote, austere environments, specifically on smooth, unimproved dirt runway surfaces. These vehicles must be capable of maneuvering 90-degree turns and performing rapid acceleration and deceleration. Technical specifications include the provision of mounting positions for government-owned cameras and the use of easily replaceable materials on the trailer exteriors. The UGVs may be front-wheel drive, though four-wheel drive is preferred. Upon completion of the flight test, the contractor is responsible for the removal of all vehicles, trailers, and debris from the test range.
