About this opportunity
The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has posted an intended single-source purchase of FloridaSatNet satellite push-to-talk service from SKYBase Communications, LLC, with vendor information due November 26, 2026. The sole-source intent is the controlling constraint: FloridaSatNet channels are offered exclusively by SKYBase, which the department names as the only intended vendor.
The procurement covers satellite phone service under UNSPSC 43191514 for a one-year term from December 1, 2026 through December 1, 2027. FloridaSatNet is an interoperable push-to-talk satellite network that SKYBase developed and manages, serving public safety users and state and federal agencies throughout Florida for emergency and regular operations. Each participating agency receives agency-specific talkgroups for regular communications, and DJJ's talkgroups are designated for that purpose. The Primary FloridaSatNet Channel is monitored by the Florida Division of Emergency Management at the Watch Office and functions as an emergency channel for contacting the State Emergency Operations Center during or after emergencies.
The estimated acquisition amount is $100,000. The listed jurisdiction is Leon County, and SKYBase's primary office is in Tallahassee. Burton Forsman manages the network.
The notice posted November 12, 2026 and remains open for a minimum of 15 business days under Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3). Prospective vendors submit information to Carol Walters, Procurement Manager, Bureau of General Services, at 850-756-8117 or Carol.Walters@fldjj.gov.
