About this opportunity
The U.S. Secret Service intends to award a sole source contract to Granite Telecommunications LLC for Starlink Data Subscription Services, with responses from alternative sources due by 11:00 AM EST on June 29, 2026.
The procurement is conducted under FAR 8.4 and GSAM/R 538.7104-3(a) pursuant to FAR Class Deviation 25-20 for orders below the simplified acquisition threshold. SpaceX restricts federal Starlink sales to authorized providers; Granite is the only such provider integrated with PEAKE's Tactical-IP BLEND platform and the Secret Service's existing portal systems. Alternative vendors would necessitate costly system reconfiguration, void existing warranties and support agreements, and disrupt 24/7/365 Network Operations Center support.
The requirement covers seven Tactical-IP BLEND kits currently in possession of Secret Service Police. Services include managed Starlink with commercial-grade high-speed, low-latency broadband delivering 99.9% network availability and typical download speeds of 45–280+ Mbps, supporting both fixed and in-motion/maritime operations. The scope comprises three line items: Managed Starlink Services (500GB) with Additional Data Plan (500GB) for three units at 12 monthly payments; Managed Starlink Services (500GB) for two units at 12 monthly payments; Managed Starlink Services (50GB) for two units at 12 monthly payments; and one activation nonrecurring charge.
This notice constitutes the sole synopsis. Any interested party believing it can meet the requirement must submit written evidence of capability to melissa.chabot@usss.dhs.gov by the deadline. The Contracting Officer approved the sole source justification on June 23, 2026.
