About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center posted a redacted sole source justification on May 12, 2026, for a Blanket Purchase Agreement modification extending unmanned aircraft system procurement from Drone Amplified Inc. through June 12, 2026. The modification extends BPA #140D0423A0050 from a three-year ordering period expiring May 18, 2026, to five years through May 18, 2028, at no additional cost; the existing $10 million ceiling remains with $6,018,822.89 obligated and $3,981,177.11 available.
The primary procurement covers the fully integrated Freefly Alta X (Blue Kit) with Drone Amplified's IGNIS Plastic Sphere Dispenser payload for aerial ignition in prescribed fire operations, plus future versions, batteries, chargers, ground control stations, tablets, and controllers. The Interior Business Center asserts sole source procurement is justified because Drone Amplified is the sole proprietor of the IGNIS payload and no other established UAS systems meet requirements while remaining compliant with FAR Clause 52.240-1, the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, Executive Order 13981, and DOD Defense Innovation Unit Blue UAS designation. The contracting officer determined BPA extension is more prudent than re-procurement given 90–150 day acquisition lead times and absence of competing NDAA-compliant alternatives.
