About this opportunity
The United States Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is procuring Starlink Mobile Priority Service Plans through Request for Quotation 140G0225Q0074 to provide twelve-month subscription internet service for four previously purchased Starlink Flat High-Performance Kits supporting the Geomagnetism Program's magnetic observatories. The procurement requires three Local Priority 50 GB plans and one Global Priority 50 GB plan, each providing a minimum of 50 GB priority data per month with unlimited non-priority data thereafter for continuous internet connectivity essential to the observatory network's mission-critical functions. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide proof of being an authorized Starlink reseller through official documentation from Starlink verifying their reseller status. The solicitation will be evaluated using simplified procedures under FAR Part 13.1, with award going to the lowest-priced responsive quotation that meets all brand name requirements. Quotations are due by June 16, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time, and must be submitted electronically.
This procurement is not designated as a small business set-aside and operates under NAICS code 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications) with a size standard of $44.0 million. The contract structure includes a base year and two option years using firm-fixed-price terms, with each service plan assigned specific serial numbers and subscription numbers corresponding to different observatory locations within the USGS magnetic observatory network. The Brand Name Justification indicates this is effectively a sole-source procurement for Starlink services due to compatibility requirements with existing Starlink satellite internet equipment previously invested in by the agency. The procurement supports the continuous operation of 13 magnetic observatories that require reliable internet connectivity for data delivery network redundancy and mission-essential functions. Performance will occur across multiple USGS Geomagnetism Program observatory locations where the Starlink equipment is currently deployed.
