DRONE, DJI Matice 4E and ACCESSORIES

Rockland County is seeking to procure a DJI Matice 4E drone and associated accessories for the Rockland County Sheriff's Office through a competitive Request for Bid (RFB-RC-2025-115). The procurement includes one DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone with DJI Care Plus, three DJI Matice 4E Series Battery Kits, one D-RTK 3 Survey Pole and Tripod Kit, one DJI D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station, and one DJI TERRA PRO Perpetual License. Bidders must have a minimum of three years of experience providing specialty unmanned aircraft and must submit comprehensive documentation including a Statement of Required Disclosures, Representations and Certifications, a Certificate of Experience, and valid insurance certificates. The bid requires all equipment to be new, completely assembled, and ready for continuous operation upon delivery. Bid submissions will be received electronically through the Bonfire Bid Submission Portal until 3:00 PM on October 30, 2025, with a contract term of 6 months and an option to renew for an additional 6 months. The County reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, with the flexibility to make awards on an item-by-item basis or as a total award of all items.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents, the bid includes a line item for a percent discount from the DJI Manufacturer's or approved equal nationally offered price list for additional items as needed. The procurement requires strict compliance with federal and state laws, and bidders must provide comprehensive operation manuals and meet specific technical and operational requirements. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with ethical standards, insurance requirements, and provide detailed documentation of their capabilities. The bid does not specify a precise budget range, but the comprehensive nature of the equipment suggests a significant investment in specialized drone technology for law enforcement purposes. The County's procurement approach allows for flexibility in vendor selection, prioritizing both technical capability and competitive pricing while maintaining comprehensive performance standards.
