Devices for Tracking UHF/VHF/HF Communications

The contract seeks to equip the Police Intelligence Directorate with advanced radiolocation technology designed to track criminal organizations operating on UHF, VHF, and HF radio bands, which are commonly used to coordinate drug production and trafficking in regions where cellular networks are unreliable or unavailable. The equipment must be capable of detecting, geolocating, and monitoring these radio signals with high precision to support law enforcement operations targeting transnational criminal actors in areas with limited infrastructure. The effort is part of a broader initiative by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs under the Department of State to disrupt illicit networks in Latin America, with primary operations centered in Bogotá. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 517410, indicating it relates to wireless communications services and technology, and is listed as a forecast with no set-aside designation, suggesting it is open to all eligible vendors. While the solicitation number is unspecified and the posting date appears to be a placeholder, the point of contact for technical inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, with Tyler Sinclair available for small business-related questions. All correspondence and further details will be managed through the Department of State’s procurement portal, and the deliverables are expected to support real-time intelligence gathering in support of counter-narcotics missions.
