About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a notice of intent to sole source satellite service for MSAT G2 radio systems to NIC4 INC (dBa Network Innovations), with a response deadline of July 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST for parties wishing to contest the sole-source determination. This is not a competitive procurement; the FBI intends to negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source). The requirement covers continued push-to-talk and satellite services supporting the FBI's existing G2 radio inventory, used by law enforcement during emergency situations when legacy systems experience disruption from technology failure, coverage gaps, or national incidents such as terrorist attacks. The one-year performance period will include delivery within 120 days of order receipt. NAICS 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications) applies, with a size standard of $44 million or less. Interested parties must submit emailed responses only—no phone calls—demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Capability statements must include the firm's DUNS number, CAGE Code, UEI number, business size, and documented experience, equipment, background, and ability to deliver the required service without compromising quality, reliability, safety, accuracy, or schedule. An earlier RFI posted May 14, 2026 received no responses.
