Description
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (AFSOC) WITH MQ-9 CONTRACTOR AIRCREW FOR LAUNCH AND RECOVERY (LR) SERVICES AT ONE (1) OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (OCONUS) LOCATION FOR A PERIOD OF TWELVE-MONTHS.
Score Rationale
This is a pure services contract for human aircrew labor (launch/recovery operations on MQ-9 drones), with zero AI/ML development, integration, or deployment mentioned or implied. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems is a large legacy defense prime (established 1970s, builds platforms rather than AI systems), and the problem framing is purely operational/contractual (staffing a specific location) rather than technical. No evidence of AI-native procurement here.
