Request for Information (RFI) for a Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) Solution

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons (PEO(U&W)), and the Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Office (PMA-263) are conducting market research for a Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) solution. The primary objective is to identify potential sources capable of providing a small to medium-sized Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) system that meets Top Level Requirements for the United States Marine Corps. This system is intended to support small unit logistics across the last tactical mile during Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) and Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO).

This sources sought notice, identified under solicitation number N0001926RFPREQWPM2630125, is classified under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AC13 for National Defense R&D Services; Department of Defense - Military; Experimental Development. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The government is considering awarding one or more Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) in fiscal year 2026, potentially utilizing the Naval Air Systems Consortium (NASC) to execute the prototype projects.

The place of performance is St. James, Maryland, and the final response deadline for this market research phase is June 25, 2026. This date coincides with a briefing for the TRUAS solution scheduled at the NASC Membership Meeting. Five attachments accompany this notice, including multiple versions of the TRUAS RFI and frequently asked questions documents. While the government previously extended the RFI response due date to November 28, 2025, the current status indicates that additional RFI responses and questions are no longer being accepted.
