Federal Radio Service

Federal Radio Service, doing business as Fedsmr, supplies digital mobile radio systems, airtime subscriptions, maintenance services, and communication equipment to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor operating on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. Based in Aberdeen, Maryland, and registered in SAM.gov since 2002, Fedsmr is a for-profit corporation specializing in radio communication infrastructure and support across multiple federal organizations.

Fedsmr's capability portfolio centers on federal radio maintenance, digital mobile radio airtime services, radio equipment procurement and installation, and radio infrastructure repair. Representative recent work includes a $694,128 sole-source purchase order from the National Archives and Records Administration (awarded October 2023, running through September 2028) for annual radio airtime subscription, repairs, and maintenance of digital specialized mobile radios at Archives I in Washington, D.C. and Archives II in College Park, Maryland; a $77,700 definitive contract from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (awarded December 2024, running through December 2029) for federal radio maintenance services transferred to GSA; and a $49,141 purchase order from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (awarded October 2024) for the procurement and deployment of 30 Kenwood NX-3300 display radios, including dispatch control stations, infrastructure refresh, installation, and optimization services. Fedsmr also holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the National Gallery of Art (awarded April 2026, running through March 2031) with a ceiling of $225,664 for radio maintenance services.

Customer concentration is spread across civilian cultural, financial, and archival agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 50% of recent awards: the Smithsonian Institution (24 awards, $298 thousand combined potential value), the National Gallery of Art (16 awards, $1.3 million), the Smithsonian Institution Office of the Chief Information Officer (13 awards, $6.9 million), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (12 awards, $331 thousand), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (8 awards, $395 thousand). The rankings by potential value diverge meaningfully—the Smithsonian Institution Office of the CIO dominates dollars ($6.9 million across 13 awards) while the Smithsonian Institution and National Gallery of Art combined carry most of the award count. The National Archives and Records Administration ranks fourth by dollars ($1.1 million across 4 awards) but does not appear in the top-five count ranking.

Fedsmr's recent activity trajectory shows decline. Awards per year fell from five in 2022 to one in 2025 and two year-to-date in 2026. Three awards (combined potential value $903 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore subject to recompete. Fedsmr operates exclusively as a prime contractor—146 awards across the source represent 100% prime activity with zero subcontract footprint. Work is performed predominantly at customer sites in the Washington, D.C. region and Aberdeen, Maryland, with the largest single contract anchored at the National Archives' Archives I and II locations.
