Summary of Sole Source Documentation

This is a Sole Source Documentation form (FAR Part 13) for a brand-name purchase order not exceeding $250,000. The procurement is for Skydio R10 unmanned aerial systems to be used during law enforcement operations and officer safety activities, with a delivery date of June 30, 2026. The DAC number is D-26-SG-0064, and this is a non-recurring requirement.

The contracting officer determined that only the specified brand-name item (Skydio R10) will satisfy the Government's need based on the system's integrated, autonomous 360-degree collision-avoidance capability essential for safe operation by agents in unknown locations. Market research confirmed that no comparable U.S.-manufactured drone provides equivalent capabilities and autonomous obstacle avoidance comparable to Skydio's offerings within acceptable cost, schedule, and performance parameters. The justification notes that similar NDAA-compliant manufactured drones cannot meet this requirement. The documentation was signed on 4/15/2026 by the customer, with contract specialist and contracting officer approvals dated 5/26/2026.
