STATEMENT OF NEED

NOAA OLE, Northeast and Southeast Enforcement Divisions NOAA OLE Skydio Uncrewed Aircraft System

BACKGROUND:

NOAA Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) enforces more than 40 laws designed to protect marine life and their habitat. In partnership with states and other federal agencies, our special agents and enforcement officers work on all U.S. coasts and inland riverways to ensure compliance with the nation’s marine resource laws and take enforcement action when violators disobey the laws. Our primary jurisdiction is the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, which extends 230 miles (200 nautical miles) off the U.S. coast. In total, our enforcement operations cover more than 95,000 miles of coastline and more than 4 million square miles of ocean.

PURPOSE/MISSION:

OLE’s Northeast Division (NED) and Southeast Division (SED) are requesting to acquire two Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) to support law enforcement surveillance, investigations, and operations. NOAA OLE Special Agents and Enforcement Officers are responsible for enforcing federal marine resource laws across a vast jurisdiction, often in complex and remote maritime environments. Operations include investigating illegal fishing, protecting marine resources, and ensuring compliance with all federal marine statutes.

Many of these operations require persistent surveillance, positive identification of suspects and vessels, and the collection of high-quality, admissible evidence. Executing warrants (e.g., search warrants, tracking warrants) and conducting patrols in a maritime setting present unique challenges, including significant risks to officer safety and the difficulty of approaching targets undetected. A UAS is needed to provide aerial surveillance and reconnaissance, enhancing operational effectiveness, evidence collection, and officer safety.

Officer safety is a serious concern when investigations are being conducted. OLE staff can use the UAS to assess potentially hazardous situations (e.g., hostile suspects, unsafe vessel conditions, remote or hazardous terrain) from a safe standoff distance before committing personnel. NOAA OLE needs a robust, NDAA-compliant UAS platform to support its law enforcement mission. This platform will be a "force multiplier," allowing OLE personnel to safely and effectively conduct critical operations required by law. The UAS platform can be multi-use and will assist in day-to-day fisheries patrols and long-term investigations, allowing for more coverage of patrolled areas

The UASs will provide real-time, over-watch surveillance for OLE teams executing search warrants on vessels or at shore-side facilities. It will also be used to assist in tracking vessels or individuals as authorized by warrants. OLE staff will utilize the UAS to conduct covert and/or overt surveillance of vessels, facilities, or individuals suspected of violating federal laws.

The UAS will be utilized to take high-resolution photographs and record 4K video of any identifying characteristics of subjects, vessel (vessel name, homeport, IMO number, registration number), or other targets, as well as document any observed violations, noting date, time, and location.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: SKYDIO SKYDIO: Skydio X10 Patrol-Led DFR Kit

Includes one (1) Skydio X10 Ready Kit (2.4/5 GHz, 5G/LTE Ready: SIM Card Included, IR) NA + VT300Z, one (1) Skydio NightSense with IR Attachment for X10.

a. Designed, assembled, and supported in the United States.

b. Blue sUAS: Listed on the DoD's Blue UAS Cleared List.

c. Encryption: AES-256 encryption for data link and onboard storage.

Operational Proof of Concept for UAS Capability:

In August of 2025, NOAA OLE conducted a surveillance operation in the Key West, FL, area utilizing a Skydio X10 OLE acquired from NOAA’s Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Division (UASD) Kickstarter program.

The operation focused on a subject vessel suspected of illegally diving and harvesting spiny lobster from artificial habitats within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and a local National Wildlife Refuge.

Certified NOAA OLE drone pilots successfully operated the Skydio X10 from a significant standoff distance, allowing them to remain undetected. During the operation, they collected crucial video and photographic evidence that will be utilized in the ongoing investigation.

This operation proved that a high-capability UAS can successfully detect, monitor, and identify target vessels from a substantial distance (approx. 2-3 miles), even in conditions where traditional assets (such as physical surveillance from a vessel or land) would be ineffective. This long-range identification and surveillance capability is directly applicable to the broad spectrum of law enforcement and warrant support operations conducted by OLE.

Legal:

With respect to aerial surveillance, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that law enforcement is not required to obtain a search warrant, as individuals do not have a Fourth Amendment right to be free from warrantless aerial surveillance.

[California v. Ciralo, 476 U.S. 207, 215 (1986) (“The Fourth Amendment simply does not require the police traveling in the public airways . . . to obtain a warrant in order to observe what is visible to the naked eye.”); Dow Chemical Co. v. United States, 476 U.S. 227, 239 (1986) (holding that the taking of aerial photographs of private property by government officials from navigable airspace is not a search under the Fourth Amendment); Florida v.Riley, 488 U.S. 445 (1989).]

CONTRACTORS INVOICE:

INVOICES MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ARREARS

Per NAM 1330-52.232-71 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (FEB 2023) The Contractor must submit payment requests electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP). The Contractor must use the IPP website to register, access, and submit payment requests. The IPP website address is https://www.ipp.gov.

"Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment to the Contractor. To be considered proper, invoices must be prepared in accordance with, and contain all elements specified in, the contract payment clause (e.g., FAR 52.212-4(g), FAR 52.232-25(a)(3), FAR 52.232-26(a)(2), FAR 52.232-27(a)(2)). All invoices are to be submitted in arrears per 31 U.S.C. § 3324.

Advance payments are prohibited by 31 U.S.C. § 3324, which provides that, except as provided by a specific appropriation or other law, “a payment under a contract to provide a service or deliver an article for the United States Government may not be more than the value of the service already provided or the article already delivered.” The primary purpose of 31 U.S.C. § 3324 is to protect the Government against the risk of nonperformance (or refusal to refund moneys) by the contractor after receipt of payment. See 22 Comp. Gen. 834, 835 (1946). In its simplest terms, the statute prohibits the Government from paying for goods before they have been received or for services before they have been rendered.

The Contractor must include the following documents as attachments to payment requests submitted through the IPP: Vendor’s invoice attached in IPP.gov payment request and applicable shipping invoice/bill of lading (BOL) for shipping over $100.00.

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to submit payment requests through the IPP due to a threat to national security; a matter of unusual or compelling urgency; or because the political, financial, or communications infrastructure of a foreign country does not support access to the IPP, the Contractor must request an exception in writing. Contact the Contracting Officer for more information about requesting an exception.

CAR 1352.201-70 Contracting Officer's Authority. (MAR 2010)

The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to make or approve any changes in any of the requirements of this contract, and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely in the Contracting Officer. In the event the contractor makes any changes at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract terms and conditions, including price.

(End of clause)

CAR 1352.209-73 Compliance with the laws. (APR 2010)

The contractor shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations which deal with or relate to performance in accord with the terms of the contract.

(End of clause)

CAR 1352.209-74 Organizational conflict of interest. (APR 2010)

(a) Purpose. The purpose of this clause is to ensure that the contractor and its subcontractors:

(1) Are not biased because of their financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work under this contract, and

(2) Do not obtain any unfair competitive advantage over other parties by virtue of their performance of this contract.

(b) Scope. The restrictions described herein shall apply to performance or participation by the contractor, its parents, affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries, and successors in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as "contractor") in the activities covered by this clause as a prime contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor, joint venturer, consultant, or in any similar capacity. For the purpose of this clause, affiliation occurs when a business concern is controlled by or has the power to control another or when a third party has the power to control both.

(c) Warrant and Disclosure. The warrant and disclosure requirements of this paragraph apply with full force to both the contractor and all subcontractors. The contractor warrants that, to the best of the contractor's knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which would give rise to an organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5, and that the contractor has disclosed all relevant information regarding any actual or potential conflict. The contractor agrees it shall make an immediate and full disclosure, in writing, to the Contracting Officer of any potential or actual organizational conflict of interest or the existence of any facts that may cause a reasonably prudent person to question the contractor's impartiality because of the appearance or existence of bias or an unfair competitive advantage.

Such disclosure shall include a description of the actions the contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate any resulting conflict of interest.

(d) Remedies. The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if the Contracting Officer deems such termination necessary to avoid, neutralize or mitigate an actual or apparent organizational conflict of interest. If the contractor fails to disclose facts pertaining to the existence of a potential or actual organizational conflict of interest or misrepresents relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default, suspend or debar the contractor from Government contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

(e) Subcontracts. The contractor shall include a clause substantially similar to this clause, including paragraphs (f) and (g), in any subcontract or consultant agreement at any tier expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The terms "contract," "contractor," and "Contracting Officer" shall be appropriately modified to preserve the Government's rights.

(f) Prime Contractor Responsibilities. The contractor shall obtain from its subcontractors or consultants the disclosure required in FAR Part 9.507-1, and shall determine in writing whether the interests disclosed present an actual, or significant potential for, an organizational conflict of interest. The contractor shall identify and avoid, neutralize, or mitigate any subcontractor organizational conflict prior to award of the contract to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. If the subcontractor's organizational conflict cannot be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated, the contractor must obtain the written approval of the Contracting Officer prior to entering into the subcontract. If the contractor becomes aware of a subcontractor's potential or actual organizational conflict of interest after contract award, the contractor agrees that the Contractor may be required to eliminate the subcontractor from its team, at the contractor's own risk.

(g) Waiver. The parties recognize that this clause has potential effects which will survive the performance of this contract and that it is impossible to foresee each circumstance to which it might be applied in the future. Accordingly, the contractor may at any time seek a waiver from the Head of the Contracting Activity by submitting such waiver request to the Contracting Officer, including a full written description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof.

(End of clause)

CAR 1352.215-72 Inquiries. (APR 2010)

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.237-72 CONTRACTOR ACCESS TO NOAA FACILITIES (SEPT 2017)

(a)

1. The performance of this contract requires employees of the prime contractor or its subcontractors, affiliates, consultants, or team members (“contractor employees”) to have access to and to the extent authorized, mobility within, a NOAA facility.

2. NOAA may close and or otherwise deny contractor employees access to a NOAA facility for a portion of a business day or longer for various reasons including, but not limited, to the following events:

i. Federal public holidays for Federal employees in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 6103;

ii. Fires, floods, earthquakes, and unusually severe weather, including but not limited to snow storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes;

iii. Occupational safety or health hazards;

iv. Lapse in Appropriations; or

v. Federal Statute, Executive Order, Presidential Proclamation, or any other unforeseen reason.

3. In such events, the contractor employees may be denied access to a NOAA facility that is ordinarily available for the contractor to perform work or make delivery, as required by the contract.

(b) In all instances where contractors are denied access or required to vacate a NOAA facility, in part or in whole, the contractor shall be responsible to ensure contractor personnel working under the contract comply. If the circumstances permit, the contracting officer will provide direction to the contractor, either directly or through the COR, which could include continuing on-site performance during the NOAA facility closure period; however, if Government oversight is required and is not available, on-site performance shall not be allowed. In the absence of such direction, the contractor shall exercise sound judgment to minimize unnecessary contract costs and performance impacts, for example, performing required work off- site if possible or reassigning personnel to other activities if appropriate.

(c) The contractor shall be responsible for monitoring the Office of Personnel Management at opm.gov, the local radio, television stations, NOAA web sites, and other communication channels. Once the facility is accessible, the contractor shall resume contract performance as required by the contract.

(d) For the period that NOAA facilities were not accessible to contractors who required access in order to perform the services, the contracting officer may—

1. Adjust the contract performance or delivery schedule for a period equivalent to the period the NOAA facility was not accessible;

2. Forego the work; or

3. Reschedule the work by mutual agreement of the parties.

(e) Notification procedures of a NOAA facility closure, including contractor denial of access, are as follows:

1. The contractor shall be responsible for notification of its employees of the NOAA facility closure to include denial of access to the NOAA facility. The dismissal of NOAA employees in accordance with statute and regulations providing for such dismissals shall not, in itself, equate to a NOAA facility closure in which contractors are denied access. Moreover, the leave status of NOAA employees shall not be conveyed or imputed to contractor personnel. Accordingly, unless a NOAA facility is closed and the contractor is denied access to the facility, the contractor shall continue performance in accordance with the contract.

2. Access to Government facilities and resources, including equipment and systems, will be limited and personnel necessary to administer contract performance may not be available. Generally, supply and service contracts that are funded beyond the date of the lapse in appropriation and do not require access to Government facilities, active administration by Government personnel or the use of Government resources in a manner that would cause the Government to incur additional obligations during the lapse in appropriation may continue. If a delivery date for a contract falls during the period of a lapse in appropriations, Government personnel may not be available to receive delivery. Contractors are directed to consult with a contracting officer before attempting to make a delivery. Contracting officers will be available throughout the lapse in appropriation period to provide guidance.

Once OMB guidance is given, CORs, in consultation with the contracting officer, will notify those contractors that are deemed by the Program Office to be performing excepted work and identify the contractor personnel requiring access to NOAA facilities. CORs will also coordinate directly with facility management or physical security personnel at respective locations to ensure that the names of contractor personnel requiring access to Government facilities during the lapse in appropriations are provided to physical security personnel.

Contractors who are not designated as performing excepted work are not allowed access to Government facilities or to utilize Government resources in a manner that would incur any additional obligation of funding on behalf of the Government during the lapse in appropriation.

3. Unless otherwise specified within the contract award, contractors requiring access to NOAA facilities outside normal business hours or outside the normal workweek shall submit a written request in writing through the COR to the contracting officer. The written request shall provide justification supporting the required access and be submitted [ ] hours/days (contracting officer insert number of days. If blank, 72 hours applies) before access to the NOAA facility is needed.
