Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for contracting officers, primes, and project managers.

Are your drones approved for federal work?

Yes. We operate aircraft from the Blue-UAS Cleared List, which is required for federally funded work under the American Security Drone Act and FAR 52.240-1. Many providers fly foreign-made drones that are now barred from government contracts. We do not.

What certifications do you hold?

FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification, HUBZone small-business certification, and active SAM.gov registration. We are a division of Rainier Operations Group LLC.

What do we actually receive?

Processed, analyzed deliverables: orthomosaic maps, 3D models, volumetric measurements, thermal and inspection reports, and GIS layers in the formats your team or agency requires, not just raw photos.

Do you provide survey-grade, legal surveys?

We provide aerial mapping, data, and inspection products. Where a survey of record is required, we partner with a licensed professional land surveyor so the deliverable meets legal requirements.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Tacoma and serve sites throughout Washington, with a focus on remote federal lands that other providers will not travel to.

Do you work as a subcontractor or teaming partner?

Yes. We welcome subcontracting and teaming with engineering, survey, and construction primes that need a compliant, certified aerial-data partner.

How do we request a flight or quote?

Send the site location, the deliverable you need, and any solicitation number through our contact page or to aerial@rogwa.com. We respond the same business day.

Still have a question?

We are happy to talk through scope, compliance, or teaming.
