Purchase Of Electronic And Communications Facilities

The Product and Service Code (PSC) E1BG covers the purchase of electronic and communications facilities, encompassing a wide range of information technology, telecommunications, and related infrastructure equipment and services. This category includes procurements for communication systems, network infrastructure, mobile devices, landline services, podcast monitoring tools, and associated technical support. The awards demonstrate a broad spectrum of electronic and communications technology acquisitions across various federal government agencies.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category reveal a consistent pattern of firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, typically ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 in value with performance periods between six months to three years. Frequent contractors include Intellectechs Inc., Verizon Wireless, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, and Strategic Communications LLC. The primary funding agencies are the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Department of State, Department of the Army, and U.S. Agency for Global Media. Most awards do not utilize specific set-aside designations, though some involve small businesses or socioeconomically certified vendors. Performance locations span both domestic and international settings, including Tanzania, New Zealand, Vietnam, and various U.S. locations.

The sole federal contract opportunity in this dataset is a USAID solicitation in Ethiopia seeking information technology and associated equipment to support USAID office operations in Addis Ababa. The opportunity requires submission of technical and cost proposals by August 22, 2024, with a performance period of approximately three months. USAID will award a fixed-price purchase order to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer. The solicitation does not have any specific set-aside designations and invites submissions from qualified companies or individuals to provide IT equipment and support services.
