Smith Bagley Inc.

Smith Bagley Inc., doing business as Cellular One of North East Arizona, is a for-profit telecommunications provider headquartered in Show Low, Arizona, that delivers wireless services, cellular devices, network infrastructure, and broadband connectivity to federal agencies serving Native American communities, operating exclusively as a prime contractor across its federal footprint. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurement (no set-aside designations characterize recent awards, though two historical awards carried Total Small Business set-asides in 2021–2022), and holds primary NAICS classifications under Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) and secondary categories in computer peripheral equipment manufacturing and wired telecommunications.

Smith Bagley's customer concentration is sharply focused on the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs components and the Department of Health and Human Services' Indian Health Service. The top five customers account for 78% of recent awards: the Bureau of Indian Education leads by combined potential value at $2.8 million across 52 awards; the Indian Health Service follows with $835 thousand across 50 awards; the BIA Western Region carries $340 thousand across 13 awards; the BIA Navajo Region accounts for $308 thousand across 56 awards (highest award count); and the BIA Central Office represents $73 thousand across 6 awards. The combined potential value across all 226 awards totals $4.7 million, though the vendor has obligated $10.8 million across those awards—a 232% ratio indicating frequent modifications and incremental funding additions to existing purchase orders.

Representative named contract work includes a $295 thousand WiFi hotspot service delivery to Tuba City Boarding School (Bureau of Indian Education, awarded August 2022, completion July 2027); a $191 thousand paging and intercom system upgrade at Fort Wingate High School (Bureau of Indian Education, September 2023); a $167 thousand wireless service provision to Rocky Ridge Boarding School (Bureau of Indian Education, July 2022); a $139 thousand hot spots coverage contract for Pueblo Pintado Community School (Bureau of Indian Education, September 2023); a $114 thousand telephone coverage order for Wingate Elementary School (Bureau of Indian Education, January 2024, running through December 2028); and a $42 thousand network connection service for the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility (Indian Health Service, February 2024). The vendor has also held a $30 thousand network link contract for the Chinle Campus Housing Coordination Facility (Indian Health Service, March 2022, carrying a Total Small Business set-aside). Recent 2024–2026 awards include a $211 thousand emergency security system at Jemez Elementary School (Bureau of Indian Education, September 2026), a $65 thousand wireless service modification for Crystal Boarding School (Bureau of Indian Education, April 2025), and smaller E-Rate program contracts for wireless equipment and services ranging from $1.9 thousand to $25 thousand at multiple tribal schools.

Activity has remained relatively stable at 9–12 awards per year from 2022 through 2024, with 3 awards in 2025 and 1 award year-to-date in 2026. Eight awards carrying combined potential value of $1 million face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor holds a single parent vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract VA26013D0066—with 6 task orders valued at $27 thousand combined. Smith Bagley's subcontract footprint is minimal (only 1 sub-award in the source); the vendor instead acts as a direct prime to federal agencies. The vendor does hold a federal grant sub-award relationship as a sub-recipient under the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (prime grantee) to expand and upgrade LTE mobile network infrastructure across the Navajo Nation, with responsibility to add new LTE carriers to existing sites at Tonalea and Dine College, add LTE to nine existing 2G/3G sites, and deploy 3G UMTS and full-spectrum LTE at five new sites, targeting broadband connectivity of 25 Mbps download / 3 Mbps upload with intent to upgrade to 100 Mbps download / 9 Mbps upload.

Smith Bagley's award portfolio spans purchase orders predominantly for wireless hotspot services, cellular phone services and devices (iPhones and Android phones), WiFi equipment, network infrastructure upgrades, intercom and server installations, and E-Rate program support to tribal schools and healthcare facilities. The vendor has held federal SAM.gov registration since 2003 and has delivered over twenty years of telecommunications support to Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, and Indian Health Service programs across the western United States.
