HSEMA- District UAS Program (Hardware/Software)

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) for the District of Columbia is forecasting a procurement to acquire drone hardware and software solutions to support the implementation and ongoing maintenance of its Unmanned Aerial Systems Program. This initiative aims to enhance operational capabilities through the integration of advanced unmanned aerial technology for emergency management, public safety, and disaster response functions. The contract will require a qualified vendor capable of delivering reliable, secure, and scalable drone systems that meet the specific technical and operational needs of the agency, with an emphasis on compatibility with existing infrastructure and compliance with federal and local aviation regulations. While the solicitation number, NAICS code, and detailed technical specifications are not yet available, the posting date of July 23, 2026, indicates this is a preliminary forecast, inviting industry participation and pre-solicitation engagement. The place of performance is expected to be within the District of Columbia, and all proposed solutions must align with HSEMA’s mission to ensure efficient and effective emergency response through innovative technology. Vendors should prepare to demonstrate experience in delivering federal-grade UAS platforms, ongoing technical support, training, and systems integration services relevant to public safety and homeland security applications.
