Briefly discuss the quality control procedures utilized in the manufacturing process and where the units are
manufactured.
DJI's factories are located in Shenzhen, China. Drone manufacturing is incredibly complicated and requires
mastery over production processes such as injection molding and precision machining. The factory boasts highly
sophisticated, automated assembly lines and test flights are performed on all drones before they leave the facility.
Congruently, Vector Solutions offers the Vector Advantage which ensures the satisfaction of all equipment and
training provided. Additionally, our firm is certified and utilizes an ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance program.
10.
A key operational objective for this type of UAS equipment is quick deployment. Briefly describe how the model
offered is deployed and how long a typical deployment should take.
For a drone of its size, the M300 RTK can be deployed easily and quickly, dependent on the stored configuration;
in about 120 seconds. The M300 RTK benefits from permanently attached, folding props. As an extra time-saver,
the M300 RTK sits upside down in its carrying case, meaning that the payloads can be attached safely while the
drone is in its box, and the batteries can be attached to the aircraft while it is in its carry case.
With the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, a trained operator can unpack, prepare, and take off in under a minute.
The M30 Series offers A balance of power and portability and delivers higher operational efficiency. Its all-new
design promotes extreme performance, incredible portability, and lightning-fast deployment. In fact, the DJI M30
Series deploys even faster than the Mavic 2 Enterprise series aircraft, well under 60 seconds.
11.
Describe any recycled materials (if any) that is utilized in the UAS equipment.
There are no recycled materials used in the construction of DJI Drones and accessories.
12.
Describe any additional capabilities and benefits of the proposed UAS equipment that will add value to the public
safety operations in Tempe.
The City of Tempe is a leader in implementing drone technology, especially as it pertains to public safety. The
City’s drone program over the past 4-years has become the gold standard for public safety departments across
the state and across the country. Vector Solutions is proud to have played an important role in the development
and maturation of that UAS program.
The platforms proposed in this RFQ offer the City an opportunity to take the existing UAS program to the next
level. The new evolution of Matrice and Mavic drones fly longer, provide higher definition images & data, are
smaller & lighter, and deploy faster than any of the previous models. And, with unprecedented integration
capabilities, the proposed platforms will exponentially increase the existing capabilities to provide decision-
makers with the intelligence and information needed to close the decision loop faster and more efficiently.
Additionally, the partnership with Vector Solutions will help the City navigate changing and evolving UAS
challenges. Vector’s partnership with the City will provide 24/7 on-call tech support and consultation services, a
direct line POC for the City’s UAS team(s), guidance on navigating the changing regulatory environment, and
access to all of Vector’s aviation and UAS experience (to include BVLOS & DFR programs). Vector will work in
lock step with the City of Tempe in the continuation of building the county’s premiere UAS program that serves
as a force multiplier for its public safety agencies, public utilities,and public services.

under 14 CFR § 91 and obtaining the appropriate waivers to establish a Drone for First Responder program.
Vector Solutions is a local metro Phoenix-based business (Glendale). We pride ourselves on the partnerships
we’ve formed with AZ public safety institutions. Vector can (and will upon request) perform on-site troubleshooting
with the City’s UAS teams. Additionally, Vector has a repair facility located in our Glendale, AZ office. Requests
for service or warranty claims can be made by email, text, or phone call to any of our key personnel. All inquiries
for warranty and repairs will be responded to within 1 business day. Vector’s tech team will provide platform
evaluation in coordination with the OEM to determine if the equipment should be repaired, warrantied, or replaced.
The Vector team will provide all of these services locally to ensure minimum impact on the City’s UAS team. Most
warranty actions can be completed within one week, and in most cases, loaner equipment will be made available.
Vector Solutions will perform most post-warranty work at our Glendale, AZ certified facility. The turnaround time
for repairs is incident dependent but is typically within 7 days dependent on replacement part availability. Loaner
equipment will be made available if it’s needed during extended repair situations.
We offer a simple process. Our repair service will start with a complete inspection of your aircraft to determine
any issues and needed repairs. Once the inspection is complete, our tech team will contact the City’s UAS team
and provide an estimate of repair cost and needed parts. Once repair work is approved, we will complete them
and also update all firmware, re-calibrate the platform, and test fly the aircraft before returning it.
Vector Solutions is exceptionally knowledgeable and has robust past performance in aviation, not simply drone
operations. With our firm’s combined 40+ years of aviation experience, we are well versed in FAA Part 107, 91
& 135 operations: standard training, operating, safety, and maintenance procedures; all pillars for building and
maturing a robust DFR program. Vector will utilize our previous DFR past performance, an understanding of
Tempe’s current UAS program, knowledge of existing (and changing) FAA regulations, and the City’s proximity
to Class B airspace to maintain the integrity of the flight capabilities.
Beyond equipment and software, a successful DFR program will be built from existing Training, Operations,
Safety, and Sustainment (TOSS®) policies and procedures. Vector’s team of professionals will partner with the
City to conduct and establish the training procedures necessary to build an effective and safe program.
Additionally, we will provide the consultation to guide Tempe’s UAS team thru the process of gaining COA and
BVLOS approval. And, our documented UAS safety policies and procedures will assist in the establishment of a
comprehensive safety program that reduces liability and provides continuity and oversite for UAS program
managers. A comprehensive safety program provides the foundation for Crew Resource Management (CRM),
Operations Risk Management (ORM), Safety Management Systems & Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM).
Sustainment is also a vital part of any successful long-term drone program. Maintenance, Field Care for UAS
Equipment, and Warranty/Tech Support are critical to keeping your aircraft fleet airborne. Vector offers Live Tech

Support, On-call Consultation, Standard Operating Procedures Development, Tech Refresh product update

Vector Solutions is immediately prepared to partner with the City of Tempe to offer a full spectrum of consultation
to facilitate the acquisition of drones and accessories that match the tactical needs of the department. We do not
approach drone programs in a one-size-fits-all methodology. The requirements for most departments will vary
considerably based on geography, environment, mission set(s), and budget. Our team will ensure the City’s
needs/requirements are congruent with the UAS platforms, accessories, and software solutions that bring the
most complete set of capabilities to the program.
Vector Solutions offers expert instructor-led, AZ POST-certified drone pilot training and instruction for law
enforcement professionals. Our team of aviation and public safety professionals brings superior training from
instructors with thousands of hours of real-world flight and boots-on-the-ground experience, bringing the City
actionable, practical, mission-specific instruction for the development of UAS pilots.
Our headquarters in Glendale, AZ offers a local training facility where we offer multiple modalities of classroom
education and hands-on flying instruction. Additionally, our firm maintains strong local relationships that will
allow Tempe to cross-train with other Arizona public safety departments. We are also able to perform on-site
training that is convenient and relevant for the City of Tempe; utilizing schools, warehouses, and airports within
the City and surrounding areas.
A few of the training courses offered include Hands-on basics flight training, practical flight fundamentals, Part-
107 exam preparation course, indoor/tactical, night, and search and rescue training.
Vector Solutions has a thorough understanding of the timelines published by the FAA and the requirements
mandated for compliance with the Remote ID Broadcast ruling. The final rule for compliance was published on
January 15, 2021 with an effective date of April 21, 2021; full compliance is compulsory within 30 months of this
date.
Vector will partner with the city of Tempe Police Department to budget for and identify/offer compliant equipment
and solutions as they become available. Within the outlined 30-month compliance period, we will help transition
legacy equipment and keep the city apprised of tech as it becomes available to retrofit out-of-compliance UAS
platforms (software or hardware based solutions). With the understanding that the City of Tempe primarily flies
DJI aircraft, Vector is in very close contact with DJI representatives, including Brendan Schulman, the company’s
vice president of policy and legal affairs, to prepare for the transition of legacy equipment. Although a final
determination of RFID requirements has not been published by the FAA, DJI is currently testing potential solutions
on most existing Enterprise platforms. Additionally, we will help the City identify timelines and availability of new
platforms that will be compliant with the FAA guidance. Vector is prepared to help the City of Tempe and Tempe
Police Department transition into this next phase of compliance.
Vector Solutions is committed to providing the solutions the City of Tempe and Tempe Police Department needs
to simplify its operations and comply with FAA regulations as they evolve.

Supplier Sustainability Questionnaire
The City of Tempe is strongly committed to sustainable practices and programs that help build a vibrant and resilient
community. The City accomplishes this through a variety of innovative programs, including water and energy conservation,
recycling, composting, alternative transportation, sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship. Tempe
recently established its 2019 Climate Action Plan (CAP) that provides a guideline for how the City will take local action on
global climate change by reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapting to the changing climate. The Climate
Action Plan serves as a guideline for the City’s path toward a sustainable and resilient future that will benefit the entire City.
The City has strengthened its commitment to sustainability by adopting a new carbon neutrality goal by 2050 and a strategy
of sourcing 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035. To learn more about the City’s commitment to
sustainability, please visit https://www.tempe.gov/government/sustainable-tempe.
To further this commitment, the City has developed a Sustainable Procurement Policy that provides specific guidelines for
how these important sustainable practices and programs will be reflected in contract award decisions. By partnering with
companies who share these sustainability goals, the City will be able to significantly enhance sustainable outcomes.
To support these efforts, the following Supplier Sustainability Questionnaire has been developed that will allow the City to
better understand your company’s efforts and commitments regarding sustainable practices and initiatives. This
questionnaire has two sections – a section to understand what your company is doing regarding sustainable actions and a
section to understand the specific sustainable attributes of the product or service that you are offering.

Question
Response
Corporate Sustainable Actions
1.
What sustainability guidelines or environmental statement does
your company have to guide the company as a whole? Please
include a link.
Vector Solutions is committed to doing
our part to increase sustainability and
decarbonization throughout or business
operations. In 2020, Vector established a
Sustainability Pledge, demonstrating our
commitment to implementing
decarbonization strategies through real
business changes and innovations. In
order to achieve net-zero annual carbon
emissions by 2030, Vector has agreed to
assess all aspects of our operations and
strategize actions to neutralize
remaining emissions, minimize waste,
and increase recycling, and take other
steps with additional, quantifiable, real,
permanent, and socially-beneficial
offsets. When we founded our
Sustainability Pledge, one of the first
steps we took was conducting an energy
audit to identify ways to reduce our
environmental impact and energy
consumption. Our initiative themes
include: General Waste Reduction,
Single-Use Plastic Elimination,
Sustainable Packaging and Materials
Usage, Supply Chain Process
RFQ# 22-145 Unmanned Aircrafts Systems (UAS) for Police Operations
30 | Page
Improvement, and Specific Business
Process Changes.
2.
What is your company doing to be more energy efficient?
Our offices utilize energy-saving
strategies and energy-efficient
equipment and lighting, including
Energy Star lightbulbs and programmed
Smart thermostats. Our daily procedures
include routinely shut off of the lights
and power supply strips at the end of
each working day. Staff members are
reminded to engage in eco-conscious,
energy-efficient practices such as
turning off lights when not in use and
minimizing water consumption. We have
also installed water faucets and drinking
glasses to eliminate the need for plastic
water bottles. Finally, we have eliminated
two of our smallest satellite offices in the
past two years and have switched our
workers to remote work to reduce our
consumption and impact.
3.
What is your company doing to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions?
In a 2020 calculation of our carbon
footprint, Vector realized our biggest
environmental impact comes from two
areas: Air Travel and Shipping. As a
result, Vector carefully selects vendors
who share our vision of a greener, more
sustainable future and who have taken
concrete measures to achieve those
goals. Vector is committed to
thoughtfully choosing our vendors in
order to reduce our impact. We partner
with FedEx as our primary shipping
provider because of their goal to reach
carbon neutrality by 2040, including by
using electric vehicle systems and
motorized pallets to enable emissions-
free deliveries. Vector uses Delta
Airlines as our primary airline due to
their commitment to carbon reduction
and removal, including by building a 25-
percent more fuel-efficient aircraft fleet.
We also eliminated our North Carolina
office in 2020 and our Florida office in
2022 to reduce unnecessary energy use
and commuter emissions.
4.
What is your company doing to reduce waste transferred to
landfills?
• We have implemented Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle Programs in our offices to
reduce landfill waste.
• We have gone paperless through use of
digital technologies. When paper must
RFQ# 22-145 Unmanned Aircrafts Systems (UAS) for Police Operations
31 | Page
be used, we ensure it the paper is made
of recycled material.
• We have switched to re-usable office
materials when possible (i.e. replacing
plastic water bottles with drinking
glasses and a water system).
• We reuse our cardboard boxes,
newspapers, and packaging materials
from incoming deliveries for outgoing
shipments when possible.
5.
What is your company doing to reduce water waste?
• Our office managers assess water-
consuming systems monthly, checking
for leaks and identifying potential
plumbing issues before they arise.
• Vector provides employees with a
refillable bottle and provides water
filtration systems in our offices to
eliminate the use of water bottles.
• We engage and inform our employees
with strategic messaging to remind them
to be conscientious of water use, and we
invite ideas on how to conserve usage.
6.
What kind of effort does your company make to reduce the use of
environmentally harmful materials (such as cleaning products,
etc.)?
Vector only buys green, eco-friendly
cleaning products and avoids the use of
harsh chemicals around our office. We
strive to choose sustainable products
with the Safer Choice label, and we use
re-usable office supplies when possible,
instead of single-use paper and plastic
products.
By eliminating two of our satellite
offices, we have reduced our
consumption of environmentally harmful
materials by eliminating the need for
cleaning supplies, industrial trash bags,
and other waste-contributing items
which were previously used to support
just a few personnel.
7.
Does your company take any actions to manage the sustainability
of your supply chain? If yes, please explain.
Yes, Vector uses FedEx as our shipping
provider due to their sustainability
commitments. When Vector receives a
shipment, we save the boxes and
packaging materials for future re-use.
We also collect boxes and packaging
material from neighboring businesses
for re-use. If the materials are not
sufficient for re-use, we always recycle
materials and we use recyclable packing.
When preparing shipments, Vector is
thoughtful to reduce packaging and
strives to bundle items together in order
to reduce the number of shipments. The
Vector Advantage incentivizes our
RFQ# 22-145 Unmanned Aircrafts Systems (UAS) for Police Operations
32 | Page
customers to send their items back to us
for proper reuse or recycle, in order to
avoid our products from ending up in a
landfill.
8.
Has your company received any environmental or sustainability
related independent certifications or recognitions? If yes, please
explain.
While Vector has not yet received any
official environmental or sustainability
related certifications or recognitions,
Vector has plans to apply for and is on
track to be recognized by the SEAL
Business Sustainability Awards in 2025.

Product Sustainable Attributes
1.
Has your company performed an environmental life cycle analysis
on the product being offered the City? If yes, please provide
documentation
While Vector has not performed an in-
depth environmental life cycle analysis
(LCA) of these sUAS products,
published LCA reports suggest
emissions from drone systems are
“mainly from parts production, which
include coal mining, electrical
generating station operation, and parts
production while the drone operation
showed the least impact to all of the
impact categories.” (Koiwanit, Jarotwan.
(2018). Analysis of environmental
impacts of drone delivery on an online
shopping system. Advances in Climate
Change Research. 9.
10.1016/j.accre.2018.09.001.)
2.
Can the product being offered be refurbished, recycled, or
composted at the end of its life? If yes, please elaborate
The manufacturer offers a “Trade Up”
Program which allows customers to
send their old drones to DJI free of
charge in exchange for DJI credit. The
program partners will apply a factory
reset, erase data, and resell, reuse, or
recycle the drone as appropriate,
reducing landfill waste. Sending the
item to the manufacturer for disposal
also helps ensure that batteries are
disposed of using the appropriate
methods.
3.
Does the product being offered include any recycled materials? If
yes, please explain.
While the equipment offered does not
include recycled materials, the

application of drones over the years has
included waste management, and
drones have been utilized to help
identify and collect waste, helping clean
water systems.
4.
What measures have been taken to reduce unnecessary
packaging materials associated with the product being offered?
Vector reduces the number of
shipments sent and the size of the
shipments in order to reduce
unnecessary packaging materials.
Vector reuses packaging materials for
shipments sent to us, and we collect
boxes from neighboring businesses as
well for use. We never package our
