DFS-Rebid-DJI Matrice 350RTK Frame and Accessories

The Illinois State Police is seeking a vendor to provide brand name DJI Matrice 350RTK airframes and accessories for their Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit (TCRU). This is a competitive Invitation for Bid (IFB) procurement, with the goal of providing reconstruction officers the ability to forensically map and document temporary, short-lived evidence associated with crash scenes without the assistance of another officer in low light and inclement weather conditions. The contract has a one-year initial term with no renewal options. Bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by the specified due date and time, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. The procurement includes necessary technical support, software, and hardware to maintain optimal performance of the equipment.

There is no small business set-aside or veteran small business participation goal for this procurement. The state has previously awarded a contract for these goods, with Unmanned Vehicle Technologies, LLC selected as the vendor for a total award amount of $117,602.40. Details on the pricing and number of unsuccessful bidders for the prior contract are provided, but the estimated financial return to the State and gross revenue to the vendor for the life of the new contract are not included.
