Nationwide Cellular Service Provision

The contract provides for the deployment of first-year nationwide multi-carrier cellular service for 100 radios equipped with LTE failover and Wi-Fi backup capabilities, ensuring continuous connectivity across the United States. The service is designed to maintain operational reliability through redundant network pathways, minimizing downtime due to cellular outages or coverage gaps. This agreement is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 517110, which classifies it within the wireless telecommunications services sector. The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02, is the sponsoring agency, with performance responsibilities centered in Brooklyn, NY, though service coverage extends nationwide. The contract includes an option to renew beyond the initial year, allowing for potential延续 of service based on performance and ongoing operational needs. The solicitation was posted on July 22, 2026, with a response deadline of August 4, 2026, at 8:00 PM EDT, indicating a narrow window for contractor submission and evaluation. While specific point of contact details and set-aside classifications are not provided, the placement of performance in Brooklyn suggests that logistical coordination and support may be managed from that location, even as the service itself functions across the entire country. The integration of LTE failover and Wi-Fi backup underscores a focus on mission-critical communications reliability, particularly relevant for federal operations requiring constant network access. This contract supports secure, uninterrupted communication for deployed personnel or systems under the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
