This Sources Sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, or a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is it a guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation or contract. It is for market research purposes only. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any potential future RFQ. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor SAM.gov for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research, a continuous process for collecting and analyzing information about capabilities within the market to satisfy agency needs. The acquisition strategy has not yet been determined, and market research results will assist in determining the direction this acquisition may take. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of various members of industry, to include the Small Business Community that have previous history with this NIACS. The requirement is for a handheld, universally approved counter-small unmanned aerial systems (C-sUAS) mitigation device capable of effectively disrupting and neutralizing drone threats. The specific model is the DZYNE Dronebuster DB4 w/PNT w/ LED Arrays and Kits. The system must be a highly portable, standalone unit that does not require the deployment of multiple jamming nodes to disrupt a single drone, thereby minimizing the logistical burden on base defense personnel. The device must operate independently without the need for complex, fixed-site infrastructure or multi-system tethering, ensuring rapid and agile deployment by ground forces. Delivery will occur based on immediate base defense requirements, device availability, and installation schedules. This is a critical requirement driven by 50 SFS's need to implement an agile, modernized C-sUAS program to secure the installation's airspace and protect critical assets. The need arises from the increasing operational threat of unauthorized sUAS activity and the requirement for a legally compliant, immediately deployable mitigation capability. If the requirement is not fulfilled, 50 SFS will lack the necessary tools to rapidly address emerging drone threats, leaving Schriever Space Force Base vulnerable to unauthorized surveillance or disruption. The organization specifically needs this pre-approved system to leverage existing personnel familiarity, avoid costly duplicative training, and ensure a highly mobile security posture across the installation. Critical performance requirements include the ability to achieve full threat disruption …
