HSEMA- IT- SATELLITE PHONE SERVICE (RENEWAL)

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) of the District of Columbia is renewing its contract for satellite phone services to ensure uninterrupted communication during planned and unplanned emergencies when traditional telecommunications systems are unavailable. This service is exclusively utilized by HSEMA’s operations and executive staff to maintain operational continuity, coordinate response efforts, and ensure public safety in critical situations. The renewal supports the agency’s mission by guaranteeing access to reliable, secure, and global satellite communication through Iridium technology, which operates independently of terrestrial infrastructure. The contract is listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 23, 2026, indicating a future procurement action. While specific details such as solicitation number, NAICS code, and place of performance are not provided, the intent is clear: to uphold a critical communications capability for emergency management functions across the District. The service is not tied to a set-aside classification, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors capable of delivering Iridium satellite phone service in compliance with HSEMA’s operational requirements. No point of contact information is listed, but further details will likely be made available through the official forecasting portal as the procurement progresses.
