About NIGP 83974
NIGP 83974 Satellite Telephones, an Item code, covers satellite phone service and equipment procurement by state and local government, with recent solicitations focusing on push-to-talk satellite networks for emergency responders and public safety users. State and local agencies are purchasing satellite phone service contracts—including device provisioning, network access, and talk-group assignments—with emphasis on interoperable emergency communication channels that function independently of congested public networks. Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology are the primary recent buyers, with the Illinois State Police as a major customer. Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida DoJJ, Illinois DoIT), county boards (Collier County), all soliciting service and equipment under set-aside or sole-source frameworks that reflect both budget and vendor-availability constraints.
Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois. The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice issued a sole-source RFQ (SS16094) in May 2026 for FloridaSatNet access at an estimated value of $100,000, with vendor information due June 17, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted a notice of intent to single-source Skybase Communications LLC (PUR19625) in June 2026 for Iridium phones with push-to-talk capability, objections due July 22, 2026, with a five-year contract term. The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology rebid satellite phone service and equipment for the Illinois State Police (27448DOITAPP44B52929) in June 2026, restricted to Illinois Small Business Set Aside Program registrants, with proposals due June 17, 2026. A prior Illinois rebid (26448DOITTELECB52284) posted in May 2026 with the same set-aside restriction. SkyBase Communications emerges as the exclusive supplier across multiple jurisdictions for FloridaSatNet, the dominant platform in current state and local procurement activity.
