MetTel has secured a position on the next generation U.S. Department of Defense contract for wireless services, known as Navy Spiral 4. This is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract, with a potential value of up to $2.67 billion over 10 years with all options are exercised.
Navy Spiral 4 is a firm-fixed-price, ceiling-price contract to provide commercial wireless mobility services, encompassing all wireless technologies and related operations, including software, hardware, firmware, and equipment. This requirement will cover usage across all 50 United States, US territories, and for military personnel and federal civilians travelling internationally.
“MetTel’s network aggregation capabilities can provide wireless services from local and national carriers to all military personnel through one customer portal and one bill, making MetTel a single source for mobile communications,” explained Don Parente, Vice President of Sales & Solution Architecture for MetTel Federal. “Among our wireless services, we anticipate that Mobile Device as a Service and IoT SingleSIM technology will be particularly useful to the DoD.”
MetTel’s Mobile Device as a Service (MDaaS) offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline mobile device management for enterprises. These features include a centralised customer portal, mobile device staging and kitting, mobile device management software integration, AI-powered order-to-delivery automation, 24/7 customer support, device protection, and secure device recycling.
SingleSIM is MetTel’s connectivity solution for the Internet of Things (IoT). Unlike other global SIMs that prioritise cost over quality, SingleSIM connects to the strongest available carrier signal.
Navy Spiral 4 will include a one-year base period and nine one-year option periods. Work will be carried out at various locations across the US. Initial work is expected to be completed by May 2025; if all options are exercised, all work will be completed by May 2034. The award was the result of a full and open competitive solicitation with eight offers received. Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center San Diego, California, is the contracting authority.
