Blue Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

DHS Customs and Border Protection established this Master BPA on December 17, 2021, to supply small unmanned aircraft systems with alternative ground-control and radio configurations for multiple federal users. Ordering authority expires December 16, 2026, leaving approximately four months to place new orders. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $90 million across all task orders.

Ordering momentum has declined sharply. The vehicle issued 40 task orders in 2022, 23 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and only 4 in 2025—indicating either customer demand saturation or a shift to other acquisition vehicles. The most recent order was placed April 22, 2025. Of the $11.2 million combined task-order potential value across all 76 orders, the full amount has been obligated, leaving no unencumbered ceiling for new work under the vehicle.

Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. dominates by order count with 44 of 76 awards and $4.7 million in combined potential value, followed by W S Darley & Co. with 25 orders and $2.8 million, and Teal Drones Inc. with 5 orders and $3.2 million. Teal's higher dollar-per-order ratio reflects larger, more complex procurements; Atlantic's volume-driven dominance reflects numerous smaller orders. Vantage Robotics holds 2 orders valued at $555 thousand. Task-order values range from under $16,000 to roughly $1.7 million, with most falling between $20,000 and $50,000.

Demand is concentrated among DHS components. Customs and Border Protection itself accounts for 25 of 76 orders totaling $7.1 million (63% of obligated value), while US Coast Guard holds 33 orders for $2.8 million. Immigration and Customs Enforcement contributed 16 orders for $1.1 million, and US Secret Service 2 orders for $197 thousand. All task orders are unrestricted competitive procurements with no set-aside designations. The vehicle supplies both discrete drone platforms (Skydio, Parrot, Teal models named across orders) and consumables—batteries, parts, repair services, and training—reflecting a sustainment posture alongside initial procurement.
