About this file
This is a Notice of Intended Decision to Enter into a Single Source Contract issued by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The notice announces the agency's intention to procure and install the Florida Satellite Network (FloridaSatNet) Antenna System to support the State Watch Office at the State Emergency Operations Center. The system will provide satellite-based communication capabilities to maintain operational connectivity during emergencies and network outages. The requested commodity is an Iridium satellite phone network antenna system with a proprietary 16-channel talk group configuration designed to enable the State Watch Office to fulfill its statutory obligations under Florida Statute 14.2016 Section 2 to inform state, county, and local governments of potential issues. The notice was posted on 11/19/2025, with the internal tracking number SS-DEM-25-26-010. No specific response deadline, bidder's conference, or site visit requirements are indicated in the document. The contract contact is Mina Barekat at the Division of Emergency Management, located at 2555 Shumard Oak Blvd., Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100.
The contract price is $99,970.00, with the intended single source vendor being Skybase Communications Incorporated. The justification for single source procurement is that the system features a proprietary configuration built specifically by Skybase for this application and is not available from any other vendor. The agency has determined that this unique configuration makes competitive procurement impractical. Protests to this intended decision may be filed with the Division of Emergency Management Office of the General Counsel within the timeframe specified in Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3).
