What this opportunity is
The Department of Homeland Security is seeking quotes for communication equipment and ancillary services related to Foreign Military Sales for El Salvador, under a total small business set-aside. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 334220, which pertains to radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing. Vendors should note that this is a combined synopsis/solicitation, meaning they will need to prepare their bids carefully as the government may award a contract based solely on initial submissions without further communication.

1.2 Background
The FMS program is part of security assistance authorized by the Arms Export Control Act

(classified to 22 U.S.C. § 2753), the U.S. may sell defense articles and services to foreign countries
and international organizations when the president formally finds that to do so will strengthen the
security of the U.S. and promote world peace. This program is conducted through formal
agreements between the U.S. Government (USG) and an authorized foreign purchaser. These
formal agreements are a mutually signed Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA).
Provision of these items will help the recipient county’s maritime safety and security services to
maintain and expand capacity to protect territorial waters, enhance maritime domain awareness,
and build interoperable regional maritime security between other regional partners and the U.S.
Government.
