Starlink Hardware and Service

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Redstone Arsenal Field Office is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify vendors capable of supplying Starlink mini dishes and associated satellite communication services. The agency seeks between 5-100 Starlink mini dishes with a comprehensive subscription service that includes a minimum 50 GB priority roaming plan and potential pooled data plan options ranging from 1-5 TB blocks. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide centralized device management through a web-based interface and confirm service capabilities that support operations at speeds exceeding 175 MPH. Interested companies must submit capability statements in PDF, Microsoft Word, or Excel format by 1:00 PM CT on April 22nd, 2025, to bames@fbi.gov, with submissions limited to 10 pages. Vendors are required to include administrative details such as DUNS number, CAGE code, business type, and SAM-registered NAICS codes, with questions about the opportunity accepted via email until April 8th, 2025.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning both small and large businesses are eligible to participate in this market research opportunity. While no specific award value is disclosed, the potential contract scope suggests a significant telecommunications infrastructure investment for the FBI. The hardware and service requirements target satellite telecommunications (NAICS 517410) and IT/telecom satellite communications products (PSC 7G22), indicating a specialized technical procurement. The RFI emphasizes that this is an informational request and does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award. The opportunity is structured to gather comprehensive market intelligence about vendor capabilities in providing mobile satellite communication solutions that can support high-speed, flexible, and centrally managed network infrastructure for federal operations.
