DJF-20-1200-sUAS-3

The Federal Bureau of Investigation intends to sole source small Unmanned Aircraft Systems to Aardvark Tactical. The solicitation seeks 29 SkyHero Loki 2.0 sUAS for indoor and outdoor flight by the agency's Critical Incident Response Group. The Loki 2.0 meets requirements for encryption, camera capabilities, flight time, size for indoor use, hand launch ability, analog video transmission, and durability. Interested parties may submit capability statements by June 29, 2020 to the contracting officer for consideration, though the justification cites reasons for primarily considering Aardvark Tactical as the exclusive U.S. distributor of SkyHero products and to maintain compatibility with the FBI's existing Loki 1.0 fleet.

The set-aside is for total small business. The NAICS is 541519 with a PSC of R499. The potential award to Aardvark Tactical is estimated at $309,000 to provide 29 Loki 2.0 sUAS. Performance will take place at locations of the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group. The sole source justification expresses the agency's commitment to exploring alternative suppliers meeting requirements to ensure best value and avoid barriers to competition on future procurements.
