Mobile Communications Unit

The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to recompete its National Solicitation Plan for a Mobile Communications Unit, with the solicitation planned for fiscal year 2027. This contract will be awarded as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, designed to provide responsive, nationwide mobile communication support during emergency incidents and operational needs across federal lands. The recurrence cycle for this requirement is every five years, ensuring regular evaluation and competition to maintain optimal service delivery and technological advancement. The scope is national in scale, meaning the contractor must be capable of deploying mobile communication units anywhere in the United States under urgent conditions. The contract will support critical communications infrastructure during wildfires, natural disasters, and other incidents where existing systems may be compromised or overwhelmed. While specific details such as NAICS code, set-aside status, and point of contact are not yet provided, the procurement will be administered by the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, with performance expected across all regions under their jurisdiction. The solicitation was posted for forecast purposes in August 2026, signaling the upcoming competition and giving potential vendors time to prepare submissions.
