About this opportunity
The Social Security Administration seeks emergency backup FirstNet equipment including satellite backlink devices for its headquarters campus and National Support Center, with proposals due September 23, 2026.
The procurement addresses end-of-life and end-of-support conditions in the agency's existing land mobile radio systems. SSA Security and Resilience has identified FirstNet's federal priority communications system as the cost-effective solution, delivering priority access across iPhone and standalone push-to-talk devices wherever AT&T signal is present. The satellite backlink devices provided in this solicitation mitigate the risk of AT&T cellular network outages by restoring FirstNet signal to identified facilities within less than 20 minutes, satisfying both the requirement that all FSL-IV facilities maintain centralized communications for guard forces and the agency continuity of operations plan's mandate for centralized emergency communications capability during emergency situations.
Place of performance includes the HQ Campus and National Support Center. No set-aside applies. The NAICS code is 624230, Emergency and Other Relief Services; the PSC is 7G22, IT and Telecom—Network: Satellite and RF Communications Products (Hardware, Perpetual License Software).
Notice text
The SSA Security and Resilcilence group is moving away from hand held land mobile radio systems due to the cost of replacement. The HQ Campus and the National Support Center are in need of replacing thier existing LMR systems due to End of Life, End of Support & End of replacement parts. All FSL-IV facilities are required to provide a centrallized communications system for all guard forces, and the agency COOP plan requries a centralized agency level communications systems for emergency communications during emergency situations. SecRes has identified the most cost effective and resilient solution to be the federal FirstNet Commissions Priority Communications system. This system will provide better than 911 priority across all identified agency iphone/stand alone push to talk devices anywhere there is AT&T signal. However, the risk is that if the AT&T cellular network fails for any reason, the devices would not work. The devices in this SSASy will provide emergency satellite backlink to the FirstNet network, restoring signal for the identified facilities in less than 20min ensuring near immediate restoration to communications during emergency outages.
