Lee County Public Safety plans to acquire Skydio X10 drone software and related accessories. This purchase is part of a Drone as First Responder (DFR) solution, including software licensing, maintenance, implementation services, and cloud-based information management. The drones will support emergency response, aid in assessing disaster damage, monitor large incidents, and inspect infrastructure. This is a planned purchase of software, accessories, and services, with hardware replacement included at the end of a five-year term. The county is using a piggyback contract to leverage existing pricing, which is expected to save money and shorten the acquisition timeline. This opportunity involves the procurement of technology and related services, with potential for businesses in IT, software, and specialized equipment supply to engage early in the process before final details are settled.
