Notice of Award | RFQ 18-904-27 | U.S.-Made UAS for DEC Emergency Response Operations

What is this notice about?

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) asked vendors for price quotes to buy U.S.-made drones. The drones will support ongoing response operations following the ex-Typhoon Halong disaster. The notice is now titled a Notice of Award, meaning the department has posted its award decision; the award document is attached to the notice.

Why was this notice issued?

DEC's Division of Spill Prevention & Response (SPAR) needs to buy U.S.-made drones (unmanned aircraft systems, or UAS) to support ongoing response operations following the ex-Typhoon Halong disaster. It issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) 18-904-27, and this notice now announces the award.

What action is being taken?

DEC requested quotes for U.S.-made drones, with an estimated budget of $70,000.00 to $80,000.00. Quotes over $90,000.00 may be considered non-responsive. Vendors had to self-attest that the drones comply with FAR 52.240-1 (a federal acquisition rule) and are listed on the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Blue List UAS website (https://bluelist.dcma.mil/). A Notice of Award and an addendum are attached.
