Every Delia airframe is designed and manufactured in Freeport, Florida. No Chinese-sourced structural components. Aligned with NDAA Section 848 domestic procurement requirements.
As federal agencies move away from Chinese-manufactured drone systems, Delia Distributing provides a domestic alternative — continuous carbon fiber UAV airframes manufactured entirely in the United States.
The 2020 NDAA and subsequent defense bills prohibit federal agencies from using appropriated funds to procure drone systems manufactured or assembled by certain Chinese companies — including DJI, Autel Robotics, Yuneec, and others.
This has created a documented gap: government buyers need domestic UAV airframe options that can be procured compliantly. Delia Distributing was built specifically to fill that gap.
Our CAGE code (11T94) is active in SAM.gov. Our NAICS code 336413 covers aircraft parts manufacturing. Our PSC code 1560 covers airframe structural components. All the procurement infrastructure is in place.
Machines arrive October 2026. Production begins January 2027. Inquiries and pre-orders are being accepted now at [email protected].
A series of National Defense Authorization Acts have progressively restricted federal procurement of Chinese-manufactured drone systems. Here's what procurement officers need to know.
Prohibited the Department of Defense from using funds to procure a covered unmanned aircraft system, or a system with a covered unmanned aircraft system component, manufactured or assembled by a covered foreign entity.
Expanded the covered entity list and tightened restrictions on components. Agencies beyond DoD began applying similar standards to their own UAV procurement to manage risk and comply with executive guidance.
Extends NDAA-style restrictions to civilian federal agencies, prohibiting the use of federal funds to procure covered drone systems. Creates a broad mandate for domestic-source alternatives across the entire federal government.
The following companies are on or adjacent to the covered entity list under NDAA drone procurement restrictions. Delia Distributing is not on any restricted list and is registered for federal procurement.
| Company | Country | Status for Federal Procurement |
|---|---|---|
| DJI (Da-Jiang Innovations) | China | ⛔ Covered / Restricted |
| Autel Robotics | China | ⛔ Covered / Restricted |
| Yuneec | China | ⛔ Covered / Restricted |
| Parrot SA | France | ⚠ Review recommended |
| Delia Distributing Inc. | 🇺🇸 USA — Freeport, FL | ✓ US Manufacturer — SAM.gov Active |
