Rugged Computer Hardware for Police Operating in Austere Environments

The contract seeks specialized rugged computer hardware designed for use by police commandos and specialized units such as counternarcotics, intelligence, and investigation directorates operating in austere environments. The equipment must withstand extreme conditions including dust, moisture, vibration, temperature fluctuations, and limited power availability, ensuring reliable performance during high-stakes missions in remote or hazardous locations. The hardware is intended to support real-time data collection, secure communications, forensic analysis, and situational awareness tools critical to law enforcement operations abroad, particularly in regions with limited infrastructure. The procurement is forecasted under the NAICS code 423430 for computer and computer peripheral equipment and is managed by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs within the U.S. Department of State. The primary place of performance is Bogota, although the hardware will be deployed across multiple international operational theaters. Jamillah Timmons serves as the point of contact for inquiries, with Tyler Sinclair designated as the Small Business Specialist to facilitate engagement with qualifying small businesses. The solicitation is currently in the forecast phase, indicating future intent to issue a formal request for proposals rather than an immediate procurement.
