Description of the supplies or services required, the estimated price/cost, and required delivery date.

One (1) Alta X (DIU Blue Package) (Sku: 950-00113-BLUE) airframe with F9P GPS, UXV Navtab with RFD900, PX4 Blue Cube Flight Computer, and Travel Case. Plus accessories such as replacement CW & CCW propeller sets with ActiveBlade, two 12S Flight Pack batteries, cargo landing gear, quick release mount and payload vibration damper.

Delivery: 30 September 2024

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

(what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)

The Alta X (DIU Blue) meets the specific DIU Blue (https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list) requirements for any Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) purchased by the Navy, such as being US-made and DoD-compliant for government use. Of the UAS on the approved Navy list (BLUE), Alta X is the only UAS that meets the minimum payload requirement for (15 kg) to carry archeological survey equipment (e.g. tethered aerial https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list magnetometer) and other integrated mapping equipment. Of the approved systems, the Alta X has the best and most efficient payload to flight time ratio and can carry the multiple systems required for the survey operation.

☒ The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The Alta X is also compatible with the existing UAS system and remote sensing survey equipment. The Alta X is capable with and capable of carrying the Geometrics aerial magnetometer for archaeological data collection, does not interfere with remote sensing data collection, and its design keeps the magnetometer stabilized appropriately for survey. The unit is all electric as needed to keep noise at a minimum and the batteries can be used for either UAS system (saving the government time and expense), as are the motors and blades, providing a backup system for any in the field failures to keep the mission operational. The unit has been approved for use in our key survey areas.
