Summary

AI-generated · Sep 28, 2025

Market research is seeking firms that can deliver a small-to-medium vertical-takeoff-and-landing Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) capable of performing last-mile logistics for expeditionary operations and distributed maritime operations, addressing the Marine Corps’ top-level requirements for resupply in small-unit contexts. The effort is targeted at a VTOL UAS solution that can support expeditional base operations and related maritime missions, with the potential to be procured through an Other Transaction Agreement for TRUAS prototyping in FY2026. This is informational, not a solicitation, and responses are voluntary; there is no obligation to award a contract or fund response preparation.

An amendment updates the RFI by clarifying the due date for responses and adds a Frequently Asked Questions attachment for respondents. No other changes are noted.
