About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, operating under the Department of the Interior, has published a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to Drone Amplified, Inc., located in Lincoln, Nebraska. This notice is issued under the authority of FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii) for a purchase not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The sole source award is justified based on exclusive licensing agreements, brand-specific requirements, and the unique circumstances of the acquisition. The notice is classified under NAICS code 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services) and PSC code 7E20 (IT and Telecom). This announcement is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice of the government's intent to award to a single vendor.
The acquisition objective is to procure an Altum PT multispectral camera package from Drone Amplified, including the exclusive aircraft mount/bracket and training services, to be utilized by the Divisions of Realty, Infrastructure Management, and Natural Resources and Conservation Planning for regional monitoring on Fish and Wildlife Service lands. The Fish and Wildlife Service conducted extensive market research evaluating multiple alternative sensors and vendors, ultimately determining that Drone Amplified's offering provided superior data quality, software capabilities, product support, and compatibility with the agency's existing FreeFly Alta X heavy lift unmanned aircraft system. Interested parties may submit a written statement of capabilities by January 28, 2026, demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government; all submissions must be sent via email to carter_duke@fws.gov in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format. Only vendors who can provide clear and convincing evidence that competitive procurement would benefit the government are eligible to challenge this sole source determination, and all costs associated with preparing and submitting capability statements are the responsibility of the respondent.
