The U.S. government has taken a further step to limit the use of Chinese-manufactured drones for government agencies.
GSA limits inclusion of some drones from procurement list for government agencies
By DRONELIFE Staff Writer Jim Magill
In the latest skirmish in the ongoing war between the federal government and the producers of Chinese-made drones, the General Services Administration announced Tuesday that it would only offer to procure for other government agencies five drone models approved under the special Department of Defense (DoD) program.
In a post on its GSA Interact blog, GSA said “due to the significant risk associated” with offering small unmanned aerial vehicles under its Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program it would remove all drone models from MAS procurement contracts, except those approved by DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) through its Blue sUAS Program.
