The Department of Financial Services, State of Florida, awarded contract C796FF on July 1, 2026, for a period of performance ending June 30, 2027. The contract total value is $3,500.00 and encompasses two primary service categories: SkyBand Emergency Responder Upgrade Plan satellite communications services and TracStar antenna system inspection and maintenance. The SkyBand service line item, valued at $3,000.00, provides emergency responder satellite connectivity featuring 3 megabits per second downlink and 1 megabit per second uplink capacity, with ten days of monthly usage included and overage charges of $50.00 per day. This service operates on a shared network infrastructure and requires a twelve-month service agreement.

The second line item provides bi-annual inspection and maintenance services for TracStar antenna systems at TracStar Site ID 1237, valued at $500.00. The justification for this maintenance service emphasizes the critical role of satellite phones during natural disaster response situations when conventional cellular and landline communications infrastructure may be unavailable. Both service components are scheduled for the contract period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
