IT commercial satellite internet BPA

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) of the Department of the Interior intends to establish a single 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Internet Services. The objective is to provide network connectivity to all BOR remote sites. This acquisition will be conducted using commercial and simplified acquisition procedures. The solicitation will be a full and open competition after exclusions for the brand name SpaceX-Starlink.

The solicitation is expected to be posted on or about March 28, 2024, with a proposal due date of March 29, 2024. Any questions or inquiries must be emailed to the identified contracting office personnel, as telephone requests will not be honored. This procurement is not set aside for any specific business category. The primary NAICS code is likely 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications) and the PSC code is D304 (ADP Telecommunications and Transmission Services). There are no incumbent providers identified, and the potential award value is unknown, but the goal is to establish a BPA to meet the network connectivity needs of all BOR remote sites.
