UAS BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT Solicitation Number: 697DCK-25-R-00278 Call 001-2026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking whitepapers for the demonstration and validation of systems and technologies to enable the safe integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). The FAA is looking for respondents to partner with one of the two new FAA Test Sites, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Emerging Aviation Technology Center or Indiana Economic Development Corporation. The selected respondents will be required to provide a project rough order of magnitude (ROM) and a Letter of Attestation (LOA) from one of the two new FAA Test Sites. The FAA anticipates awarding at least 9 contract awards under this BAA program. Some key points to consider: • The FAA will pay no more than 50% of the total cost of the work that will be specified in any award under this BAA. • The resulting contracts from this BAA shall be cost-sharing contracts. • The total amount of funding available for the UAS BAA program each fiscal year will be divided evenly among all UAS Test Sites designated under 49 U.S.C. §44803. • Awards must include a 1:1 (one-to-one) minimum cost-share requirement.
