About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a comprehensive drone system through a Sources Sought Notice targeting Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The procurement involves a sophisticated drone kit that includes a 2.4/5GHz vehicle, Enterprise Controller, VT300-L Sensor Package, carrying case, accessories, and batteries, with a specific requirement that the system be on the Blue UAS Cleared List and comply with Buy American regulations. Additional components include perpetual autonomy software, 3D scan software for inspections, cloud storage, Fleet Manager subscription with live streaming capabilities, Media Sync subscription, comprehensive care plans, and Academy Online training access. Interested vendors must submit their responses via email to Michael.Kendro@va.gov by December 5th at 2:00 PM PST, with the procurement falling under NAICS code 336411 for Aircraft Manufacturing. Respondents are expected to provide detailed unit and total pricing for the requested equipment.
The opportunity is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, which narrows the competitive field for this procurement. While specific award values are not explicitly stated in the notice, vendors are required to submit comprehensive pricing for a single unit of the drone system, which includes multiple sophisticated technological components with three-year coverage and subscription terms. The procurement covers one complete drone kit with all associated software, hardware, training, and support packages, indicating a potentially significant investment in advanced unmanned aircraft technology. The notice suggests a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted, with emphasis on meeting the Blue UAS Cleared List requirements, Buy American compliance, and the vendor's ability to provide a fully integrated drone solution. The December 5th response deadline indicates the Department of Veterans Affairs is in the early stages of market research to understand potential vendor capabilities before formally soliciting bids.
