About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 99th Security Forces Squadron (99 SFS). The procurement involves purchasing four DJI drones, four Pixel Phones for Fly App, and four Rizer as a Service (RaaS) from Edgesource, the sole provider of Rizer software. The justification stems from the FY 24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which mandates that DJI drones can only be used with approved mitigation software like Rizer to address national security risks associated with drones manufactured in China.
The document outlines that Edgesource is the exclusive distributor of Rizer, a controlled software only available through the Rizer program management office. A memo from SAF/AQ requires DoD Rizer to be installed and fully operational before flight operations. The contracting activity (99 CONS/PKB) has determined through market research that Edgesource is the only known vendor capable of fulfilling this requirement. The procurement aims to enable Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) testing and training while mitigating potential data collection risks. The document commits to conducting ongoing market research to potentially identify alternative vendors or solutions in future procurements.

Section A: General Contract Information
Yes NoIs this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan?
Contracting Activity: 99 CONS/PKB
Project/Program Name: 99 SFS Rizer Drones
Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F3G3LC5093AQ01
Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
The 99th Security Forces Squadron (99 SFS) is requesting the purchase and delivery of four (4) Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI) drones, four (4) Pixel Phone for Fly App, and four (4) Rizer as a Service (RaaS).
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
Edgesource is the sole provider of Rizer, and does not utilize authorized resellers as Rizer is controlled software that is only distributed to customers via approval from the Rizer program management office. The Fiscal Year (FY 24) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) stipulates that DJI drones may only be utilized if they have approved mitigation software installed such as Rizer developed by Edgesource. A memo from SAF/AQ mandates that DoD Rizer must be installed and fully operational prior to flight operations. DJI drones are made in China and retain the capability to collect sensitive user and mission data. Rizer mitigates these national security risks and allows these drones to be used in Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) testing and training.
Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
Market research has determined that Edgesource is the only known vendor capable of fulfilling this requirement.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
In the future, continual market research shall be performed for similar or like requirements to ascertain if other manufacturers are entering these specified markets that can meet the AFI, DoDI standards/requirements, or FY 24 NDAA. Additional market research shall also be conducted to determine if there are other brands available for future similar or like requirements that will neither hinder the mission of the customer nor increase the cost/price for the government.
