L3 Harris Hawkeye IV Satellite Terminal Purchase

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking to procure four L3 Harris Hawkeye IV Ku-Band satellite communications terminals to bolster the Office of National Continuity Programs’ Continuity Communications Architecture. These terminals are essential to ensure uninterrupted communications at both headquarters and alternate locations in support of National Essential Functions as mandated by PPD-40 and OMB D-16-1. The system is designed to maintain operational resilience across all-hazard scenarios, including catastrophic events that disrupt conventional communication infrastructure, guaranteeing continuous access to critical data and command capabilities. The terminals will integrate into an established framework that defines technical standards, data flows, and infrastructure necessary for national continuity operations. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 517410, indicating a focus on satellite telecommunications services, and is designated for small business participation through the SB set-aside category. Performance will occur across both CONUS and OCONUS locations with a primary emphasis on the District of Columbia. Contact for inquiries is Christopher Yates, with Brett Williams as the alternate point of contact, and Amy Connolly serving as the Small Business Specialist. The requirement underscores a strategic investment in secure, durable, and rapidly deployable satellite communications to maintain mission assurance during national emergencies, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to resilience and reliability in continuity operations.
