    The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Hughes Network Systems, LLC for providing Wireless Priority Services (WPS) integrated into a 5G virtual, cloud-based telecommunications framework. This contract will prioritize National Security Emergency Preparedness by delivering voice, messaging, data, video, and information services. As part of the project, Hughes is responsible for systems engineering, service acquisition, and operations support, following the Systems Engineering Lifecycle (SELC) and the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) to secure government acceptance before the implementation of services. The justification for a sole source contract is based on Hughes being the only provider capable of fulfilling the necessary requirements. Interested parties may express their capabilities within 15 days, although no proposals will be accepted, and a solicitation will not be posted due to the sole-source designation. Additionally, all personnel involved in the DISA contract must be U.S. citizens with required security clearances. The document includes contact information for related contracting officials. This initiative reflects a strategic move to enhance national security through advanced telecommunications infrastructure.
