The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of Military Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). This DPS will facilitate the acquisition of UAS tailored for military applications, encompassing all essential components: unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), control stations, datalinks, payloads, and accessories.

The DPS is structured into two contract value categories: LOT-0001 for contracts exceeding approximately 410 thousand EUR and LOT-0002 for contracts below this threshold. Potential UAV types include fixed-wing, multi-copter, or hybrid configurations. The procurement may also encompass service agreements and a range of accessories such as sensors, computer equipment, software, antennas, ground control stations, wires and cables, batteries, chargers, tether solutions, and storage equipment.

The DPS allows for the option of additional deliveries based on evolving operational needs. This procurement is governed by the Defence and Security Directive (2009/81/EC) due to the military nature of the UAS. DALO and the Danish National Police reserve the right to restrict access to the DPS for third-country economic operators. Candidates or tenderers from countries on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes may be excluded unless there are overriding public interest reasons.
