6. Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to this/these source(s) (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this/these suggested source(s) can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. Provide a description of the market research conducted among schedule holders.
The NCIS UAS program operating permissions require coordination between NCIS, NAVAIR, NAVSEA and the FAA. The current pilots are trained and use Parrot ANAFI USA- GOV edition aircraft and these additional aircraft are to allow an expansion of an already existing fleet of Parrot ANAFI USA-GOV systems fielded by NCIS to new pilots. Staying with the same aircraft already in use allows for a consistency of operation and continuity of meeting ongoing training requirements to allow faster operational utilization than if a switch to a different manufacture was made that would necessitate new training to occur.
Parrot is the sole manufacturer for this requirement with multiple authorized vendors to sell the Government edition of the Parrot Anafi USA-GOV that meet NDAA, TAA, DoD and DoN Cybersecurity requirements. Market Research identified multiple small businesses resellers capable of fulfilling this requirement.
