Satellite Internet Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has issued a public notice regarding its intended decision to award a single source procurement contract for satellite internet services to Starlink/SpaceX. This action is not a solicitation for bids but a formal announcement under Florida Statute 287.057, indicating that the agency has selected Starlink/SpaceX for the provision of satellite internet connectivity, likely reflecting unique capabilities or requirements that justify a single source award. The solicitation number for this procurement is FDLE-SS-2647-AD, and the notice was posted on May 21, 2026, with a response deadline set for May 27, 2026. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 81112100, which pertains to satellite and telecommunications services, and is designated by the FDLE as the agency responsible for overseeing this contract within the state of Florida. While specific contract terms and locations of performance are not detailed, the notice includes contact information for a point of contact at the FDLE, Greer Hannigan, and references a vendor marketplace link for further details. This single source procurement approach underscores the agency's determination that Starlink/SpaceX is uniquely qualified or the sole source for fulfilling the satellite internet service requirements.
