About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has awarded a sole-source task order to CellCo Partnership dba Verizon Wireless for wireless communication services supporting 632 devices used by law enforcement and first responder personnel, with a total estimated value of $563,359.74.
The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii)—only one source capable of providing requisite products and services at the required quality level—asserting that Verizon Wireless is the sole GSA MAS contractor capable of delivering nationwide and international coverage with priority/preemption and real-time management features essential for CBP's mission-critical and emergency response operations. CBP emphasizes continuity of operations, as Verizon currently provides these services, full compliance with DHS and CBP security requirements, and cost efficiency relative to alternatives such as WidePoint, which would impose additional per-device fees and higher management costs.
The requirement covers 401 iPhones, 84 Samsung/Android smartphones, 49 iPads, 16 non-Apple tablets, 63 MiFi devices, and 19 flip phones. Required services include unlimited voice, data, text, and tethering; domestic and international coverage across the U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, Mexico, and globally; technical support; secure network access with interoperability for Federal, State, and Local agencies; and compliance with CBP Mobile Device Management requirements.
Performance runs from June 25, 2026, to June 24, 2028, consisting of a base year of $281,679.87 and one option year of $281,679.87. The task order is issued under GSA MAS Schedule Contract 47QTCA20D00B5. Place of performance is Basking Ridge, New Jersey (Verizon Wireless corporate location) with nationwide operational coverage.
