The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to award a sole-source firm fixed-price purchase order to NIC4, Inc. for the continued provision of MSAT G2 Satellite Push-to-Talk (PTT) Radios and Satellite Mutual Aid Radio Talk-Group Service (SMART), along with additional Starlink High-Performance Terminals and Starlink Mini Satellite Terminal packages, all requiring integration with the same SMART talk-group service. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number D-26-ST-0063, is justified under FAR 6.302-1(c) due to the proprietary and unique nature of NIC4’s SMART system, which provides interoperable satellite-based communication capabilities that are not available from any other vendor. The contract period spans from August 7, 2026, to August 6, 2027, with an estimated total value of $401,797.40 inclusive of all options, and the place of performance is designated as Lorton, District of Columbia. The notice clarifies that this is not a request for competitive quotations and does not obligate the government to award a contract or compensate respondents; however, any interested party may submit a capability statement by July 13, 2026, via email to robert.j.radke@dea.gov to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement. No formal evaluation factors, weighting, or inspection criteria are outlined, as the procurement follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.501 with sole-source justification. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to pursue competition based on responses and is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt or provide feedback. The sole-source determination is supported by market research confirming no viable alternatives exist, and internal certifications confirm compliance with ethics standards under 5 CFR § 2635, though no security clearances, key personnel requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are imposed. No packaging, marking, invoicing, or accounting control details are specified beyond the agency code (1524), and the contracting officer and technical point of contact are Robert J. Radke and Nicholas Ferguson, respectively.
