About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration seeks to purchase Skydio X10 unmanned aircraft systems and accessories, with quotes due September 14 at 4:00 PM ET and delivery required by December 31. This is a brand-name restricted acquisition under FAR 12.201 for commercial items, issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ 15DDHQ26Q00000212) with no set-aside.
Place of performance is Virginia Beach, Virginia, with FOB Destination to the DEA Aviation Operations Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The requirement comprises five line items totaling 35 units each: Skydio X10 Starter Kit, Skydio Spotlight attachment, Skydio NightSense with IR attachment, Skydio Battery 150W, and Skydio Data Management and Streaming Suite. All items must originate from and be manufactured or assembled within the United States; drop-shipping from international ports is not permitted. All items are classified under PSC 1510 and NAICS 336411, with a size standard of 1,500 employees.
The DEA's justification for brand restriction (FAR 12.102) establishes that Skydio X10 is the only known U.S.-based manufacturer offering an integrated National Defense Authorization Act-compliant autonomous drone with 360-degree optical artificial intelligence collision-avoidance and digital interoperability required for safe law enforcement operations. Market research evaluated Brink, PDW, Anduril, and Hoverfly Technologies; none met minimum requirements. DEA personnel hold existing Skydio training and Remote Pilot In Command certification.
Award is made to the lowest price, technically acceptable quote. Quoters must provide a letter from Skydio confirming authorized reseller status. Substitutions are deemed technically unacceptable. No prompt payment discounts are offered.
