    The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) has issued a "Covered UAS" Assessment Guide and an Operational Procedures Memorandum (OPM) - 35 to ensure compliance with Secretarial Order (SO) 3379 and Executive Order (EO) 13981 regarding Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The guide defines "Covered UAS" as those manufactured, using critical components, or operating software from adversary countries, or those with data storage outside the U.S. or administered by an adversary country. It provides a questionnaire to identify such UAS. OPM-35 distinguishes between "end product/service contracts" and "flight service contracts," clarifying procurement methods and operational control. It mandates that end-product contracts, which involve contractors using aircraft (including UAS) to achieve a final result without DOI operational control, must prohibit the use of "designated UAS" (those manufactured in China or by a Chinese company, or containing Chinese components). The OPM outlines acceptable contract language for end-product contracts to prevent unintended operational control by the DOI and emphasizes that flight services involving DOI personnel or operational control require separate procurement through DOI AQD.
