Mobile Communications Unit

The U.S. Forest Service is planning a national recompete solicitation for a Mobile Communications Unit under an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, with the solicitation scheduled for fiscal year 2032 and a recurrence cycle of every five years. This contract supports nationwide mobile communication capabilities critical for incident response and emergency operations across national forests and grasslands, ensuring seamless coordination during wildfires, natural disasters, and other urgent events. The requirement is broad in scope, covering the provision and management of portable, scalable, and resilient communication systems deployable across all U.S. jurisdictions under the Forest Service’s purview. The solicitation is forecasted to be posted on August 1, 2026, though no solicitation number, NAICS code, or specific set-aside details are currently available. The contract will be managed by the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, with performance expected nationwide, and no specific city or state is designated as the place of performance. The point of contact information has not yet been provided, and all details are accessible through the agency’s official incident communications solutions planning page. The award will be structured as an I-BPA to enable rapid acquisition and deployment of mobile communication assets as needed across the nation’s forest service incident response network.
