1. Background

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is issuing this Call for Solutions against Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) W58RGZ-26-S-C001 under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3458. This Call will competitively acquire and onboard innovative commercial Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the Group 3 classification onto the Drone Marketplace.

A Group 3 UAS is defined by the Department of Defense as an aircraft that weighs between 55 pounds and 1,320 pounds (maximum gross takeoff weight), operates at altitudes up to 18,000 feet above mean sea level, and typically flies at speeds less than 250 knots.

This is intended to be an open and enduring call to continuously survey and onboard new technology for a period not to exceed five (5) years. The Government reserves the right to alter or cancel this call at any time.

The UAS Marketplace is a strategic initiative designed to scale the industrial base and accelerate the delivery of UAS capabilities by empowering Soldiers with the freedom to choose the equipment that best meets their mission needs. This approach marks a significant pivot from traditional acquisition models to a dynamic, free-market concept. The primary goal of this Call is to identify and assess innovative Group 3 UAS solutions for placement on the UAS Marketplace. The process is designed to evaluate systems and onboard them to the UAS Marketplace, culminating in one of two levels of procurement readiness: Provisional or Cleared.
