Starlink Armada-Commander Connect Enhanced Access Expansion

The Starlink Armada-Commander Connect Enhanced Access Expansion is a solicitation issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Internal Services on behalf of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The project focuses on the expansion of Starlink satellite internet capabilities, specifically requiring the Armada Commander Connect management software, pooled data plans, and local data bandwidth. Bidders must provide new, unused, and current models, including a software upgrade to the Armada Atlas platform to support an additional 75 connected devices. The contract is being awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning the award will go to the lowest responsible bidder that fully meets all technical specifications. Prospective vendors must submit their bids exclusively through the Vendor Self Service portal by October 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM. A critical requirement for responsiveness is the submission of all mandatory Appendix A forms, including Exhibits 1 through 8, and a manufacturer's authorization letter confirming the bidder is an authorized distributor or reseller. The contract mandates compliance with the California Labor Code regarding prevailing wages and requires the retention of performance records for at least three years. While the contract encourages participation from Small Business Enterprises and Community Business Enterprises, award decisions are based on responsiveness, responsibility, and price. Delivery terms are F.O.B. Delivered, with the County maintaining sole authority for inspection and acceptance at its designated facilities.
