Quick Summary
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Installation Services, LLC. for tower installation engineering and subject matter expert (SME) solutions. This is a Special Notice and not a request for competitive quotations. However, interested parties who believe they can provide these services may submit a capability statement by May 6, 2026, 10:00 AM EST.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for tower infrastructure subject matter expert (SME) solutions. This specific notice is part of a broader DEA need for acquiring and maintaining site access for antennas and associated equipment across the United States, Puerto Rico, and outlying areas to support law enforcement activities. The Class Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) indicates an aggregate estimated value of $18.5 million over five years (through September 30, 2028) for these types of non-competitive acquisitions.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Purchase Order (sole source)
- Acquisition Method: FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures
- NAICS Code: 237130
- Set-Aside: Not a total small business set-aside
- Capability Statement Due: May 6, 2026, 10:00 AM EST
- Published Date: April 30, 2026
Evaluation & Justification
The DEA intends to award to Installation Services, LLC. on a sole source basis. The attached Class Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) explains that non-competitive procedures are used because the required rights and services for each antenna site are believed to be available from only one responsible source, and competitive procedures are often technologically impracticable, inefficient, and cost-prohibitive. For any capability statements received, award would typically be based on lowest price/technically acceptable, on an ALL or NONE basis, though this notice is not a solicitation.

The Government reserves the right to determine whether to open the requirement to competition based on responses to this notice.
