1. Organization/Line Office National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), Alaska Region (AR), Alaska Region Headquarters (ARH).

2. Description of Action being approved:

The NWS Alaska Region currently has a number of old satellite phones on various plans with various providers, one of which who has discontinued offering service. This procurement package will tech refresh satellite phones at each office and bring all the offices under one plan and one service provider. Furthermore, the new satellite phones, (Iridium 9575) can replace the need for additional InReach devices.

Our employees travel across the region doing storm damage surveys, Preventive Maintenance Inspections on Radar and other weather observing systems that are often in areas without cellular phone coverage or emergency facilities. Having a device such as a satellite phone bridges this gap and allows technicians to send/receive phone calls or text messages as well as sending GPS location in the event of an emergency.

· Service must provide reliable Iridium voice and SMS Standard service and be able to send GPS location in the event of an emergency.

· Service must be compatible with Iridium 9575 and newer satellite phones

· Iridium 9575 must come with applicable AC travel charger, vehicle charger, belt holster, and any associated adapters or connectors.
