Federal award records show a $139.57 million Bureau of Prisons task order to Motorola Solutions for an enterprise radio system under the Department of Homeland Security's TacCom II contract vehicle.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has placed one of the largest justice-technology orders visible in September federal spending data: a $139.57 million task order to Motorola Solutions for an enterprise radio system.
Coverage areas: federal corrections technology, enterprise radio systems, mission-critical communications, Motorola Solutions, DHS TacCom II, federal procurement.
A $139.57M Bureau of Prisons task order
Federal contract data identify task order 15BNAS26F00000249 as a Bureau of Prisons award to Motorola Solutions, Inc. for an “enterprise radio system project” placed through the Department of Homeland Security's Tactical Communications Equipment and Services II, or TacCom II, multiple-award contract.
Federal award data report the order at $139,567,423.80. The award date is September 15, 2026. The period of performance begins September 21, 2026 and runs through September 20, 2028.
Public award data classify the requirement under NAICS 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, with product service code 5821. The award record also reports full-and-open competition and two offers.
TacCom II is built for mission-critical voice and data systems
DHS describes TacCom II as a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle available to DHS and other federal agencies for mission-critical tactical communications equipment and services.
The vehicle covers radios, infrastructure and satellite solutions as well as systems integration, installation, engineering, operations and maintenance. DHS also identifies interoperability as a core feature of the vehicle.
The BOP order therefore sits inside an established government-wide tactical-communications acquisition structure rather than a stand-alone procurement vehicle.
What the public award record does—and does not—show
The surfaced award record establishes the vendor, total reported value, contracting office, acquisition vehicle and performance dates. It does not, in the records reviewed by OACRA, provide a facility-by-facility deployment schedule, radio quantities, equipment models or implementation milestones.
Those details should not be inferred from the dollar value alone. OACRA will track subsequent procurement records, contract modifications and agency disclosures for evidence of the operational rollout.
Why the award matters for the corrections technology market
A nine-figure communications order is material even within the broader federal technology market. For corrections technology vendors, integrators and public-sector buyers, the award is a signal that radio and communications infrastructure remains a major component of federal justice-system modernization alongside software, surveillance, case management and data systems.
It also expands Motorola Solutions' visible federal justice footprint at a time when state and local agencies are increasing spending on connected communications, video, records and operational technology.
