Satellite Push-to-Talk (PTT) Radio Equipment Supply

The Drug Enforcement Administration is seeking to procure MSAT G2 Satellite Push-to-Talk (PTT) radios for integration into its SMART network to enhance emergency and tactical communications capabilities. The contract, classified as a subcontract, is aimed at providing resilient, satellite-based communication devices that operate independently of terrestrial infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity during critical operations in remote or degraded environments. The radios will support field agents with reliable, real-time voice communication during high-risk missions, surveillance, and disaster response scenarios where traditional radio systems are unavailable. The solicitation is open for responses until July 13, 2026, with a posted date of July 6, 2026, and is governed under NAICS code 334220, which pertains to the manufacturing of communication equipment. The place of performance is designated as Lorton, and the work will be executed under the authority of the Department of Justice. While no specific set-aside provisions or point of contact details are provided, the requirement is structured to integrate the supplied equipment directly into the DEA’s existing communication architecture, emphasizing compatibility, security, and durability under operational stress. Contractors must be prepared to meet stringent technical and logistical standards to ensure seamless interoperability with the SMART network.
