Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) the particular brand name product is essential to meet the

Government’s requirements, and the market research indicated that other companies’ with

similar products lack the particular feature and do not meet and cannot be modified to meet the

Government’s requirements.

USCG intends to procure a brand name specification for Parrot Anafi USA Mil in accordance

with FAR 8.405-6(b), the particular brand name product is capable of providing the sUAS

because the product, Parrot Anafi USA Mil is unique and highly specialized based on the

compliance with Section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.

The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) was tasked to develop a list

of “trusted” drone options for DoD and Federal Government partners. In addition, this product is

in accordance with DHS Policy Memorandum 119-08 and the DHS sUAS Cybersecurity

Guidance. In addition, the other two products Teal and Vantage have limited capabilities, point

and shoot machine with no additional features.

Furthermore, this product requires authority to operate (ATO). The USCG has sought an ATO

based on reciprocity for two of the systems DIU evaluated. This is based on specific capabilities

of the evaluated UAS, actual procurement availability and most importantly, the ATO itself. The

two systems the USCG seeks are contained within the same ATO package, reducing the amount

of workload on our cyber forces. The following product meets the need of USCG operators and

are the only two products we are receiving an ATO for. Other “Blue” UAS do not have a USCG ATO and therefore are not authorized for operational use within the USCG.

This requirement should not exceed $21,000.00
