Indoor Drone; brand-name specific Skydio

The Department of Justice, through its DEA Aviation Division, is seeking market information for a brand-name specific indoor drone solution, exclusively the Skydio R10, to support law enforcement operations and officer safety in complex, confined environments. This effort is documented under solicitation number D-26-SG-0064 and is explicitly labeled as a Sources Sought notice, meaning no formal solicitation or obligation to award a contract currently exists. The required system must feature integrated, autonomous 360-degree collision avoidance to operate safely in unknown and tight indoor spaces, a capability uniquely attributed to the Skydio R10 and justified under sole-source acquisition criteria. The intended place of performance is Fort Worth, Texas, with a proposed delivery date of June 30, 2026, though the full period of performance remains undefined. The requirement falls under NAICS code 334511 and is subject to NDAA compliance standards, with alternative systems of similar form factor and regulatory compliance potentially considered. Respondents must submit company details, including DUNS number, business size classification, GSA schedule information if applicable, and a capability statement of one to fifteen pages detailing technical capability, product description, and relevant past performance. A separate comments document must also be included. The response deadline is June 2, 2026, and all submissions must reference the specific requirement in the subject line. The DEA will not cover any costs incurred by respondents, will not return any materials, and will not consider unsolicited proposals. No contract value, pricing, or evaluation weighting details are specified as this phase is solely for market research to assess industry capacity and readiness.
