Remote Data Communication & Cellular Networking

The contract seeks to establish a two-way cellular communication service for remote telemetry units deployed in hard-to-reach areas, enabling the secure and reliable download of field data and the execution of remote system controls. This service will support real-time monitoring and operational responsiveness by maintaining consistent connectivity between stationary field equipment and central control systems through cellular networks, with no reliance on landline or satellite alternatives. The work requires robust, low-latency transmission capabilities, high availability, and seamless integration with existing telemetry infrastructure across diverse geographic environments. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 517210 for wireless telecommunications services and is managed by the Office of Acquisition and Grants in Denver under the Department of the Interior. The opportunity was posted on July 23, 2026, and responses must be submitted by 11:00 PM Mountain Time on July 27, 2026. The place of performance spans remote locations nationwide where telemetry units are deployed, and while no specific set-aside or organizational preference is indicated, the contractor must ensure compliance with federal telecommunications standards and maintain continuous service uptime to support mission-critical operations without interruption.
