* Specific characteristics of the material or service that limits the availability to a Brand Name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

The NCIS UAS program operating permissions require coordination between NCIS, NAVAIR, NAVSEA and the FAA. The pilot current training and agreements are predicated on the use of DJI products. Staying with DJI products allow 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 agreements and manufacture provided training to occur.

Any change from the requested Make would greatly interfere with integration into the NCIS UAS program.

* CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

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

This additional DJI platform will allow for expanding operational capability within the existing program while allowing the training and agreements already completed to continue forward without the expense and time that would be needed to retrain personnel in the operation of a new platform.
