SECTOR SE ALASKA-ANAFI USA MIL DRONE

Limited Sources Justification- This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals. Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) the particular brand name product is essential to meet the Government’s requirements, and the market research indicated that other companies’ with similar products lack the particular feature and do not meet and cannot be modified to meet the Government’s requirements. USCG intends to procure a brand name specification for Parrot Anafi USA Mil in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(b), the particular brand name product is capable of providing the sUAS because the product, Parrot Anafi USA Mil is unique and highly specialized based on the compliance with Section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) was tasked to develop a list of “trusted” drone options for DoD and Federal Government partners. In addition, this product is in accordance with DHS Policy Memorandum 119-08 and the DHS sUAS Cybersecurity Guidance. In addition, the other two products Teal and Vantage have limited capabilities, point and shoot machine with no additional features. Furthermore, this product requires authority to operate (ATO). The USCG has sought an ATO based on reciprocity for two of the systems DIU evaluated. This is based on specific capabilities of the evaluated UAS, actual procurement availability and most importantly, the ATO itself. The two systems the USCG seeks are contained within the same ATO package, reducing the amount of workload on our cyber forces. The following product meets the need of USCG operators and are the only two products we are receiving an ATO for. Other “Blue” UAS do not have a USCG ATO and therefore are not authorized for operational use within the USCG. This requirement should not exceed $21,000.00
