Calhoun County 9-1-1 District

Calhoun County 9-1-1 District, doing business as Ne Al Regional Communications System, is a U.S. local government entity based in Jacksonville and operating from Anniston, Alabama that provides 911 dispatch, emergency communications infrastructure, and radio subscription services to federal facilities and operations in the Calhoun County region as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal purchase orders and sole-source acquisitions.

The vendor is structured as an inter-municipal local government entity with no private ownership and operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards, all with no set-aside designation). Its capability portfolio centers on 911 emergency dispatch support, 800 MHz radio communication patches, radio subscription renewals, and alert communications services to federal emergency management and military logistics operations. Work is classified under NAICS 517911 (All Other Telecommunications) and PSC codes spanning IT and telecom services, with representative awards including a $52,740 definitive contract from the Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command in March 2026 for Calhoun County 911 subscription renewal for government-owned emergency management agency radios with performance through March 2027; a $30,726 purchase order from TACOM in March 2025 for Calhoun County 911 support services; and a $25,666 sole-source purchase order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in January 2022 for NE ARCS subscriber fees and radio communication patches to the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston.

Customer concentration is split between the Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command and the Federal Emergency Management Agency across its administrative components (Preparedness Section, Headquarters, and the CPO). TACOM accounts for 12 awards and $138 thousand in combined potential value; FEMA and its components collectively represent 10 awards and $237 thousand. The vendor holds no seats on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or agency IDIQs; all work flows through direct purchase orders and simplified acquisition procedures. Activity is sparse and flat — two awards per year in 2021 and 2022, declining to one award per year in 2023, 2025, and 2026 — with a combined potential value of $375 thousand across twenty-two awards since 2014. One award carrying $53 thousand in potential value is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on that contract line. The vendor does not subcontract; all work is performed directly by the local government entity's emergency communications staff.
