Description

Columbus State University seeks an NDAA-compliant small uncrewed aircraft system currently listed on the applicable Blue UAS list. The required system includes a quadcopter or hexacopter, at least four hot-swappable batteries, chargers, replacement propellers, a maintenance kit, protective cases, a ground control station, and any necessary GNSS/RTK modules, mounts, cables, adapters, firmware, and other components for a complete operational base system. Mandatory aircraft requirements include at least 50 minutes of flight time without added payload, a payload capacity of at least six pounds, a total weight under 55 pounds with installed sensors, specified wind tolerance and IP43 protection, and required flight modes and positioning capabilities. The aircraft must support LiDAR payload integration; optional or separately priced payloads include optical/4K, multispectral, and thermal sensors. The response must identify the proposed configuration and manufacturer, document Blue UAS listing and NDAA compliance, disclose country of origin, provide a compliance matrix and technical literature, and include a bill of materials, itemized pricing, recurring costs, warranty, repair, support, and delivery information. Comparable GIS, mapping, or remote-sensing UAS references or examples are requested. The procurement is described as a one-time purchase; the specifications also allow the university to request a demonstration, presentation, clarification, or capability verification.
