I don't think ULA-C makes sense. We have a RIR system in

address space.
That's like selling train tickets at the airport. Except for the fraction
of a promille of all IP users that have their own portable address space,
RIRs don't even talk to IP users who are
_connected_ to the internet, let alone those who aren't! It just
doesn't make sense to involve the RIRs here.
The RIRs talk to anyone who submits the appropriate forms. They'll even
help you fill out the forms if you can give them enough information to do
so. You could even do it by phone or snail mail if you've been living under
a rock and still don't have Internet service.
ARIN policy, at least, explicitly allows for direct assignments to end sites
even if they're not connected -- just like IANA assigned Class A/B/C blocks
to disconnected orgs back in the good ol' days.
