Fotokite Sigma Transport Case System

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking to procure a Fotokite Sigma Tethered Aerial Drone System for Emergency Response through a single source contract. The intended sole source vendor is Perspective Robotics US LLC. The contract opportunity covers the jurisdictions of Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. The Fotokite Sigma provides public safety personnel with critical situational awareness through an actively tethered aerial solution that can be operated without the usual drone certification or licensing requirements. The FDOT has determined this is the only known system on the market that offers a complete actively tethered solution meeting their requirements. The contract value is $138,002.00. The procurement process involves a Notice of Intended Decision to Enter into a Single Source Contract, with a posted date of May 30, 2023 and a due date of June 1, 2023.

The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no mention of an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The $138,002.00 contract value represents the available budget for this procurement.
