DroneUp has announced that the State of South Dakota has signed a Participating Addendum for the NASPO ValuePoint contract for UAS services, established as the Contract Number 17379.

According to DroneUp, this starts the offering for the purchase of complete UAS platforms to all state agencies, commissions, political subdivisions, institutions, and local public bodies allowed by law. DroneUp notes that this award is the first of its kind for the UAS industry.

In Aug. 2019, the Commonwealth of Virginia awarded DroneUp the UAS Services Master Agreement #E194-79435, which provides all state agencies, institutions of higher education, and other public bodies and entities with UAS services. 

Through the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Organization, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of the United States can use the services under award. The State of South Dakota will be able to use the award to help state departments, institutions, agencies, political subdivisions, and other eligible entities.

DroneUp says that its award includes—but is not limited to—service categories for Emergency Support Services, Law Enforcement Support, Aerial Inspection or Mapping Data Services, Agricultural and Game Management, and Agency Media Relations and Marketing.
