About this vehicle
The FBI awarded this Master IDIQ for tactical mesh and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) solutions on June 1, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $100 million and a last date to order of May 31, 2022—the vehicle is no longer open for new orders as of over four years ago.
The vehicle has closed with all $25.1 million of combined potential value obligated across 19 delivery orders. Task orders procured mesh networking radios, radio accessories, MPU5 radios, tactical mesh special events kits, and training. The most recent order, issued May 6, 2022, covered tactical mesh radios valued at $8.6 million. Activity peaked in 2019 with 5 orders, declining to 2 orders in 2021 and 1 in 2022, reflecting the vehicle's wind-down toward its May 2022 ordering deadline.
Competition was highly concentrated. Silvus Technologies, Inc. held 7 orders valued at $23.2 million combined potential value, while Persistent Systems LLC held 12 orders valued at $1.9 million—a duopoly that captured 100 percent of task orders. Silvus dominated by value, accounting for roughly 92 percent of the vehicle's obligated funds.
The FBI's Headquarters Division was the dominant customer, placing 14 orders valued at $22.1 million, or approximately 88 percent of the vehicle's total. Four other Justice Department entities—the FBI Academy, US Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division, FBI Los Angeles Field Office, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives—shared the remainder, with only ATF placing an order of material size at $2.3 million.
All 19 delivery orders were unrestricted, with no set-aside designations applied. Order values ranged from $34 thousand to $8.6 million; task-order durations typically spanned six to twelve months. The vehicle's ordering period has expired and no new task orders can be issued.
Description

The Tactical Mesh/MANET initiative is an alternative to the commercial cellular networks and will provide a high-bandwidth network over a specific coverage area or mobile environment.
