PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT

WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to award a firm-fixed price contract for Network Innovations US Government (NIC4) 10 SIMS satellite air card service plans. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirement because the Technology Integration and Support Unit

(TISU), requires a renewal of five lines of air card service over a 12-month period for satellite phones/satellites which will continue to be used within the CJIS Division. NIC4 Network Innovations satellite airtime service is proprietary to NIC4 and they are uniquely qualified to provide these lines of service to TISU/CJIS. Market Research was completed by examining pertinent specifications and capabilities and recommendations from other technical members of the government community. TISU currently utilizes hardware that supports NIC4 requirements such as network compatibility, SIM card size, etc. Other vendors supply lines of service for satellites; however, each have their own requirements as to what type of hardware they support as well as their own networks. Continuing to have NIC4 as the provider eliminates the possibility of having to repurchase all new hardware to support a new vendor. Some of the hardware and supporting lines of service are currently deployed to other countries in support of a CJIS initiative. Proceeding with another vendor could cause work interruptions and the inability to communicate

FBI Mission Critical communications.
