About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is seeking to procure a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure through this pre-solicitation notice, which includes multiple line items for advanced mobile and network equipment. The procurement encompasses 10 unlocked smart phones with high-end specifications, 4 WiFi pucks with Ethernet capabilities, 4 Integrated Services Routers (ISR), and a combination of 12 international prepaid phone SIM cards and 8 data-only SIM cards. The equipment is designed to support international operations, with specific technical requirements including 5G network compatibility, robust storage and memory specifications, and compatibility across multiple countries in the Asia-Pacific region. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a focus on meeting precise operational requirements for mobile communication and networking. The pre-solicitation was posted on January 15, 2025, with a response deadline of January 20, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential vendors to prepare their submissions.
The procurement is not designated with any specific set-aside status, suggesting it will be open to all qualified vendors within the Wireless Telecommunications Carriers category (NAICS 517112). The total quantity of equipment includes 10 smartphones, 4 WiFi pucks, 4 routers, 12 voice/data SIM cards, and 8 data-only SIM cards, with a service timeline spanning from March to October 2025. Reference models such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, Nighthawk M1 4G LTE Mobile Router, and Cisco Catalyst IR1835 Rugged Series Router are provided as benchmark specifications. The SIM cards are required to provide extensive coverage across 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with specific data, text, and voice call allocations. While no explicit budget range is mentioned, the sophisticated technical requirements and international scope suggest a potentially significant investment in advanced telecommunications infrastructure for Marine Corps operations.
