Notice of Intent

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a Notice of Intent on January 15, 2026, regarding a potential sole source firm fixed price purchase order for radio services. This Special Notice is specific to Solicitation #D-26-DN-0028 and targets Utah Communications Authority as the primary contractor. The procurement is valued at approximately $3,132.00 for radio services plus additional reprogramming fees. The DEA has not designated this opportunity as a set-aside contract. This notice invites interested parties to demonstrate their capability to provide the same services before the agency makes a final award decision. The notice was posted with a response deadline of January 22, 2026.

The DEA's objective is to secure radio services comprising 108 radios at $29 per month for a 12-month period, with reprogramming services available at $10.00 per radio. Interested contractors must submit a written response via email to Sade Moore by January 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, referencing the solicitation number and describing their capability to provide emergency radio services. The procurement will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach with an "all or none" award strategy, meaning the entire contract must be awarded to a single contractor. There are no specific set-aside eligibility criteria listed; however, any contractor capable of providing emergency radio services in the state of Utah may respond. The government reserves the right to determine whether to open this procurement to full competition based on the responses received, as current market research indicates that Utah Communications Authority is the sole provider of emergency radio services in the state.
