Background
The 52 Contracting Squadron located at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany is issuing this notice to inform industry contractors of the Government’s intent to execute a Sole Source Award to Smart Shooter, Inc. This action is due to the unique capabilities of Smart Shooter's products, specifically the SMASH Fire Control Systems, which are essential for the Air Force's mission. Smart Shooter, Inc. is recognized as the sole developer and manufacturer of these proprietary technologies, making them the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement.

Work Details
The contract involves the purchase of four (4) Smart Shooter SMASH 2000L Fire Control Units and four (4) Smart Shooter SMASH X4 Fire Control Units. The total estimated value of this procurement is $174,816.00.

The SMASH systems are designed for kinetic Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) operations and are the only Air Force approved optic for Security Forces personnel, as per DAFMAN 31-131V2_USAFE-AFAFRICASUP_USAFE-AFAFRICAGM2025-01. These systems provide specialized capabilities that are critical for addressing the escalating threats posed by small unmanned aircraft.

Place of Performance

Bidder Requirements
Smart Shooter, Inc. must be recognized as the sole source provider due to their exclusive development and patent-holding of the SMASH technology. No other manufacturers or companies can meet the specific requirements outlined by the Air Force for these fire control systems.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract FA560626P0009 awarded to Smart Shooter for $118,730 (03/18/26–07/18/26) covered SMASH X4 fire control systems, which aligns closely with the current intent to procure additional Smart Shooter SMASH 2000L and SMASH X4 units. A related earlier award, FA568225P0056 to Smart Shooter for $216,000 (09/17/25–12/17/25), procured the SMASH 2000L variant, indicating the Government has been buying these same proprietary fire control systems in successive actions.
