About this file
This is a UAV Specification document for the Iowa Department of Public Defense, establishing minimum technical requirements for a multi-payload unmanned aerial vehicle system procured under RFB 582-RFB-2852-2026. The procurement requests a single lump-sum delivery of a multi-rotor or VTOL airframe with maximum operating width of 36 inches, capable of minimum 25-minute flight time with payload, operating temperature range of 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) capability. The UAV must support quick-change payload mechanisms for thermal cameras, 3-band or 4-band cameras, or LiDAR, with a controller featuring integrated software and minimum 3-kilometer range. The system must include GPS high accuracy capability supporting Iowa Statewide RTK correction signals via NTRIP broadcast format and maintain an IP rating of 54. Bids are due July 6, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. CDT, with delivery to Johnston, Iowa. All equipment must comply with the Buy America Act and Section 889 of NDAA FY 2019, with manufacturers selected exclusively from the UAS Cleared List and DOD-approved Blue List.
Deliverables include on-site orientation training for equipment setup and operation, mission planning software compatible with Pix4d, and four sets of battery packs with extended operational duration and specified charging times. All equipment must be sourced from DOD-approved manufacturers on the Blue List. Award will be made to the lowest bidder meeting specified requirements, with evaluation based solely on price compliance with technical specifications; qualitative factors and value comparisons are not considered. Iowa Code 8A.514 establishes a sixty-day payment term from invoice submission. The specification notes future consideration for the ability to configure or reconfigure the unit to add a LiDAR payload in subsequent budget years under separate purchase.

CFMO UAV minimum specifications:
The following list comprises a minimum specification that the multi-payload UAV unit will need to perform to accomplish our mission.
The ideal UAV would be a multi-payload UAV or drone that supports a 3 band camera, thermal, 4 band camera for thermal + RGB, or LiDAR. Camera and/or payloads must be of a quick-change mechanism for swapping payload. A list of individual payloads compatible with UAV would need to be listed with their individual specifications and prices.
Minimum Specifications:
DOD/DPD requirements must be met including the equipment being purchased from the DOD approved Blue List. A list of acceptable manufacturers can be provided that are presently acceptable on the DOD blue list.
Airframe Type: Types include Multi-rotor (Quad/Hex/Octo) or VTOL
Operating Dimensions: Max Width 36”
Storage Dimensions: Less than or equal to operating dimensions
Min FlightTime with payload: 25 min.
Max Wind Resistance: N/A
IP Rating: 54
Min Operating Temp Range: 32deg F to 122 deg F
GNSS Support: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou support
Controller: Must be included and stand alone including software and screen
Range: Minimum 3km and be able to operate BVLOS.
GPS High Accuracy included must be able to utilize the Iowa Statewide RTK correction signal via the NTRIP broadcasted format.
Extra Criteria:
- On site orientation training for a small group of individuals on setup and operation of equipment. (Not to include PT 107 or licensing training)
- Mission planning software like: Pix4d or compatible mission planning software
- 4 sets of battery pack(s) to extend the units operating time in the field x 4 without the need for field charging. Cost to include longest lasting with a listed specification for average charging time.
Future Consideration
- In subsequent budget years under separate purchase the ability to configure or re-configure this unit to add a future LiDAR payload at a later date.
