About this file
This document is a brand name justification for a sole source procurement under $250,000. The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure a bi-rotor ducted unmanned aerial vehicle robotic inspector from CLEO Robotics to improve material awareness of hard to reach spaces within naval vessel ventilation systems prior to maintenance availabilities. Only CLEO Robotics holds the proprietary rights to manufacture a UAV with enclosed propeller blades capable of safely entering tight ductwork, as no other company can meet the requirement for functionality within confined areas. The related federal contract opportunity is a notice of award with solicitation number N63394-23-P-0033 to CLEO for their UAV product to fulfill the sole source requirement.

Brand Name/Sole Source Justification under $250K
PMD Number: PID 23-SIMACQ-PHD-BD3-0019
Department: 00T
Company Name/Brand: CLEO Robotics DRONUT X1
NSWC PHD is seeking to procure Unmanned Aerial Vehicle robotic inspector (DRONUT X1) in order to improve the knowledge of material awareness prior to the ship entering an ship repair activities take longer than estimated. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) robotic inspector that can examine hard to reach places will increase situational awareness.
Identification of Justification Rational:
The Material or service must be compatible will aspects (Form, Fit, and Function) with existing systems presently installed.
A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition.
Urgency.
Identification of the Justification Rationale Explained: **If using form, fit, and function, describe the current equipment and how the new item/service must coordinate or interface.
**If using patent, copyright, proprietary data, describe the proprietary data. **If using direct replacement, describe this below.
As stated, NSWC PHD requires a UAV robotic inspector that can examine hard to reach places in order to improve the knowledge of material awareness prior to the ship entering an availability.
reasons ship repair activities take longer than estimated. Therefore, in order to properly perform inspections in ventilation systems onboard naval vessels, the UAV robotic inspector must be able to perform in tight hard to reach places. In other words, since the ability to enter s ventilation ducts and voids are very tight, only a bi-rotor ducted UAV that uses enclosed propeller blades can enter them without damage to the vents or the UAV itself. CLEO Robotics is the only company that holds the proprietary rights to the UAV robotics inspector with a bi-rotor ducted design with enclosed propeller blades that can meet our requirements.
Specific Characteristics of the Item or Service required that Limit the Availability to a Sole Source or Brand Name: **This is the most important section. Explain in detail why this company or brand are the only ones that can meet the requirement.
As stated, CLEO Robotics is the only source that holds the proprietary rights to build and provide a UAV with a bi-rotor ducted design with enclosed propeller blades that allows for functionality to reach tight hard to reach places to perform necessary inspections of ventilation
