Credentials, stated plainly

SAM.gov active

UEI UDL1T5XAFXC6 · CAGE 20J80. Registered and proposal-ready now.

FAA Part 107

Certified remote pilot, LAANC authorization filed where airspace requires it.

SBA 8(a)

Building Eligibility, working with the NC SBTDC. Never claimed as a program participant.

Small business

NCDOT SBE and SPSF Certified small business. Not veteran-owned, not SDVOSB.

The dual-fleet firewall

Government and healthcare missions are structured under an NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV), which deploys on contract award. Commercial documentation missions may fly commercial aircraft. Separate flight logs, separate accounting ledgers, and a mandatory pre-flight check enforce it — so a contracting officer never has to wonder which airframe flew their mission.

Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award. No Fleet A aircraft flies before that award — we would rather you read that here than discover it in a debrief.

Questions people actually ask

Are you in the SBA 8(a) program?

No, and we will not imply otherwise. MW AIRLIFT is a small business, SAM.gov active (UEI UDL1T5XAFXC6, CAGE 20J80), and its status is SBA 8(a) — Building Eligibility, working with the North Carolina SBTDC. The company is also not veteran-owned.

Is the federal fleet (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) in service today?

No — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award. No federal mission is flown on Fleet A aircraft before that award, and none is flown on commercial-fleet aircraft. The dual-fleet firewall — separate logs, separate accounting, separate aircraft — is documented and operating as policy now, so that when the federal fleet is acquired there is no retrofit and no ambiguity about which aircraft flew which mission.

What is the dual-fleet firewall?

Government and healthcare missions are structured under an NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV), which deploys on contract award; commercial documentation missions may fly commercial aircraft. Separate flight logs, separate accounting ledgers, and a mandatory pre-flight check enforce the separation. It is the definition we use everywhere — capability statements, proposals and this page.

What past performance can you show?

One paid external client engagement delivered, invoiced and collected, with a documented past-performance record and an independently verifiable chain of custody. We state the volume plainly rather than dressing it up: the process is proven, the volume is one.

Talk to the pilot, not a call center

MW AIRLIFT is owner-operated. The person who answers is the person who flies the mission and signs the report.

Federal Drone Ops

Federal Drone Logistics

Federal and federally-funded work runs under the NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A — no DJI, no covered foreign-entity equipment. Status: Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award; federal work today is performed under the operating model below, and no federal mission is flown on commercial-fleet aircraft. This is not a preference — it is a permanent operational policy enforced through a dual-fleet firewall — physical fleet separation, separate flight logs, an internal Insurance & Fleet Coverage Policy, and separate P&L accounts.

  • NDAA-compliant operating model — Fleet A: Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award
  • BVLOS Roadmap: Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight waiver application planned for Year 2 — will unlock autonomous long-range delivery and remote inspection

Dual-Fleet Policy

MW AIRLIFT™ maintains a two-fleet separation policy:

  • Fleet A (Federal Only): Fleet A (Parrot ANAFI USA GOV) acquisition-ready and deployed on federal contract award — federal contracts, FEMA work, 8(a) contracts, county EOC retainers, grant-funded deliverables
  • Fleet B (Commercial Only): DJI Mavic — private-sector inspection only, never federal

Separation Controls: Separate storage cases (labeled), separate flight logs, an internal Insurance & Fleet Coverage Policy, separate P&L sub-ledgers, and a job intake form with a mandatory federal-funding checkbox on every DJI dispatch.
