North Dakota State Radio Communications

North Dakota State Radio Communications, a state government entity headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota, provides law enforcement telecommunications and database access services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on small-value purchase orders, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates entirely on full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its federal prime portfolio.

NDSRC's core capability centers on providing access to North Dakota Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NDLETS), National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and Law Enforcement Teletype System services that enable federal agencies to conduct background investigations, criminal records checks, license verifications, and security screenings. Recent representative contracts include a $3,533.92 firm fixed-price purchase order from U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded April 1, 2026, for North Dakota Law Enforcement Radio Access with completion on March 31, 2027; a $3,390.92 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (Department of Veterans Affairs) awarded July 1, 2025, for Law Enforcement Telecommunications System access; and a $4,973.36 sole-source purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 awarded July 1, 2024, for Law Enforcement Teletype System services. The vendor's award portfolio is characterized by NAICS concentration in Regulation and Administration of Communications (61 awards) and PSC concentration in telecommunications and transmission (31 awards).

Customer concentration is dispersed across federal law enforcement, intelligence, and defense operations. The top five customer agencies by award count and potential value account for 50–63% of the portfolio, led by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region (18 awards, $172 thousand), Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (16 awards, $105 thousand), and Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (13 awards, $91 thousand). The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command and Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters also appear as significant customers, with $155 thousand and $149 thousand combined potential value respectively.

NDSRC maintains 135 total federal awards since 2003, yielding a combined potential value of $1.1 million with $1.1 million already obligated (96% obligation rate). Award volume has remained flat over the past five years (one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, one in 2026 to date), indicating stable but slow activity. Only one award faces recompete within the next twenty-four months, carrying $4 thousand in potential value, suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates entirely as a prime on individual purchase orders with no parent vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs in its footprint.
