Satellite Phone Service ISP PO 212715

The State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology is seeking bids from registered Small Business Set Aside Vendors for yearly service for current satellite phones owned by the Illinois State Police. The contract will provide service for the existing satellite phone equipment, with the key objective of ensuring reliable communications capabilities for the state's law enforcement agency. Interested vendors must have the necessary expertise and resources to deliver the required satellite phone service, including technical support and maintenance. The procurement process will evaluate factors such as the vendor's qualifications, proposed service level agreements, and pricing. Proposals are due by May 31, 2023, and the State has attached the standard terms and conditions that will govern the contract.

This procurement is specifically designated for Small Business Set Aside Vendors, meaning only small businesses that meet the state's criteria can submit proposals. There is no incumbent vendor mentioned, so this appears to be a new contract opportunity. The State has not provided a specific budget range, but the contract will cover the annual service costs for the satellite phone equipment currently owned by the Illinois State Police.
