Mobile Network Demonstration Vehicle (RFI)

This Special Notice from the Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration seeks market feedback regarding requirements for a Mobile Network Demonstration Vehicle through a Request for Information. Responses to the RFI are requested by January 31, 2024 and should include organizational details, capabilities statement, available contract vehicles, and recommendations regarding contract type and NAICS code.

The objective is to obtain industry feedback to aid planning for a potential future solicitation to provision a Mobile Network Demonstration Vehicle that would primarily function as an experiential platform but also support initial 36-hour incident response. Key requirements outlined in the attached ROM Considerations Worksheet include accommodating integrated equipment such as network, communications, gas detection, and mapping capabilities. Interior requirements cover network provisioning, seating, lighting, power, and storage. The RFI response is non-binding with no funds available for preparation, and feedback will help define requirements for a demonstration vehicle supporting the First Responder Network Authority's mission.
