Secure Radio Law Enforcement Communications System

The contract seeks to procure a secure radio communication system, including towers and individual radios, specifically designed for law enforcement operations. The equipment must ensure encrypted, reliable, and interference-free communication critical to the safety and coordination of personnel in high-risk environments. The system is intended for use in Ulaanbaatar, where operational security and signal integrity are paramount due to the nature of the assignments and potential threats. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334220, indicating it is categorized within the manufacturing of communications equipment, suggesting a focus on custom-built, high-security hardware rather than off-the-shelf consumer devices. The contracting authority is the Department of State’s Office of Acquisitions Management, which is responsible for overseeing the acquisition process to align with federal security standards and diplomatic operational requirements. Point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons at timmonsj@state.gov, with Tyler Sinclair serving as the designated Small Business Specialist to assist with vendor participation. The forecast is posted for fiscal year 2026, indicating this is a planning document to aid industry preparation, though no solicitation number has been issued. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible vendors, and the performance location is exclusive to Ulaanbaatar, requiring vendors to account for logistical, environmental, and infrastructure challenges in their proposals.
