FBI Radio Frequency Equipment 2010-2015

The Federal Bureau of Investigation established a Master IDIQ for radio frequency equipment procurement on March 29, 2010, with ordering authority that closed on March 28, 2015 — this vehicle is no longer active and accepting new orders.

The FBI procured radio frequency equipment and related services entirely through unrestricted competitive task orders. Four prime contractors shared the 36 awarded orders: Janteq Corp led by combined potential value at $38.6 million across 12 orders; Vislink, LLC held the second position at $19.8 million across 8 orders; Global Microwave Systems, Inc. accumulated $13.5 million across 14 orders; and DTC Communications, Inc. received 2 orders valued at $1.1 million. Janteq and Vislink together captured approximately 71% of the combined potential value, indicating moderate concentration among the top two primes. Activity peaked in 2012 with 11 orders and declined sharply thereafter, with only 3 orders placed in 2014–2015 combined.

All 36 task orders funded FBI Headquarters Division operations, with no distributed customer base. The combined task-order potential value reached $73 million, matching the shared ceiling, with 100% of potential value obligated by the final order in January 2015. Individual task-order values ranged from approximately $50,000 to $10.6 million, with most orders falling in the $100,000 to $5.8 million band. Performance was firm fixed price across all orders. The vehicle's scope centered on radio frequency equipment supply, transmitter components including miniature NEMO transmitter interfaces, encoder upgrades, and repair services for field office deployments.

This vehicle presents no opportunity for new work; all authority to place orders expired in March 2015 and the ceiling has been fully obligated.

The purpose of this Master IDIQ is the procurement of pilot and aviation support services for the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
