Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Brand Name Requirements Justification for the acquisition of a DroneShield Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS). It serves to justify the selection of a specific brand name system.

• Description of Supplies/Services: The acquisition is for a DroneShield C-sUAS, including system training, components, and setup/configuration of hardware and software, to enhance installation security.
• Efforts to Obtain Competition: DroneShield, LLC is the sole manufacturer, though resellers exist.
• Market Research: Two systems were field-tested; the DroneShield system was selected for its flexibility and fulfillment of operational requirements.
• Barriers to Competition: The justification acknowledges DroneShield, LLC as the sole manufacturer and states that future requirements will assess the availability of other resellers.

This justification indicates that the upcoming procurement is likely to be for the DroneShield system, potentially as a brand-name-only or brand-name-or-equal requirement. Bidders should note the specific system and the justification for its selection, which may influence how they prepare their proposals or if they can offer an equivalent system.
