On-Water Drone Recovery and Safety Boat Operations

The contract requires the provision of a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed vessel and qualified crew to conduct on-water recovery operations for any drones that descend into the water during scheduled activities. The service is critical for ensuring operational safety and minimizing environmental impact by swiftly retrieving lost or malfunctioning drones from San Diego’s waterways. The vessel must be fully equipped and staffed with licensed personnel capable of responding promptly to incidents in varying marine conditions, with emphasis on efficiency, precision, and compliance with federal maritime standards. This subcontract is tied to operations managed by the San Diego Unified Port District and is focused entirely on performance within the San Diego area. The North American Industry Classification System code 483111 indicates the nature of the work falls under support activities for water transportation, highlighting the specialized logistical and safety role of the contractor. There is no set-aside designation, and the contract is structured to support a broader operational program, likely related to drone deployment in coastal environments where water-based recovery is a necessary contingency. The performance location is strictly defined, and all services must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth by the port district.
