15--J&A SAM Posting (Easy Aerial UAS)

The Department of the Interior, through its Interior Business Center Acquisition Services Directorate, has awarded a sole-source Firm-Fixed-Price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Easy Aerial Inc. for its tethered Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) under solicitation DOIDFBO260075, with an estimated value of $1,500,000. This acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique technical capability of Easy Aerial’s system, which is the only solution available that meets the DOI’s critical mission requirements for persistent aerial surveillance over moving vehicles in harsh environments. The system must integrate electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), radio, and radar payload capabilities, operate reliably during dynamic deployments at federal sites such as dams and Bureau of Reclamation facilities, and comply with stringent national security mandates including the National Defense Authorization Act, Executive Order 13981, and the Department of Defense DIU Blue UAS List. All hardware must be U.S.-manufactured, and the system is subject to strict compliance with DOI-IB No.22-1 and Secretary of the Interior Order 3379. The contract is administered from Herndon, Virginia, and performance will be executed across DOI-managed lands, though administrative functions are centralized at the contracting office. Evaluation was based solely on technical acceptability, with no consideration for price, past performance, or other factors, as no other vendor can provide the same integrated tethered UAS solution. The BPA is indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity in structure, with task orders to be issued as needed, and no options or line-item pricing details are included beyond the total estimated amount. No packaging, marking, invoicing method, or payment office details are specified, and while contract administration is managed by the Office of Aviation Services, no named COR, COTR, or PCO are identified. The award is non-competitive and driven entirely by the singular availability of Easy Aerial’s proprietary system, making it the only responsible and qualified source for this specialized capability.
