CSMI Secures New Contract for DHS Mobile Command Vehicles

On October 22, 2026, CSMI, LLC was awarded a recompete contract by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for the Federal Protective Service (FPS) fleet of Mobile Command Vehicles (MCVs). This pivotal contract marks a continuation of CSMI's partnership with FPS, emphasizing the company's commitment to supporting essential communication and operational capabilities vital for first responders across the United States.

The FPS mobile command units are designed to be swiftly deployed in scenarios where standard communication infrastructure might be lacking, compromised, or necessitates enhanced connectivity among law enforcement agencies. These MCVs play a crucial role, establishing a command presence that ensures signal coverage and operational coordination in critical situations.

Capabilities of Mobile Command Vehicles

Mobile Command Vehicles from FPS are equipped with an extensive range of communication and command-and-control tools. With capabilities that include cellular and satellite communications, secure and non-secure telephone services, and broadcast television, these vehicles are ready to handle multifaceted operational requirements. They can also support a variety of radio frequencies, including VHF, UHF, and 800-900 MHz bands, thus providing functional versatility in communicating across different networks. Additional features such as video teleconferencing, mesh networks, video capture, and security imaging further enhance their utility during operations.

Beyond communication, MCVs are tailored to support various field operations by allowing agencies to coordinate activities effectively. When emergency managers and first responders need to work collaboratively, these mobile units serve as the command centers necessary to mobilize resources, strategize responses, and optimize operational performance.

CSMI’s ongoing O&M support ensures that these vital resources are perpetually ready for deployment, which is crucial for the FPS and its partner agencies during emergencies. The ability to maintain readiness in diverse environments highlights the importance of adaptable systems that can efficiently operate across various scenarios.

CSMI's Commitment to DHS

Randall Kaminsky, the CEO of CSMI, expressed enthusiasm regarding the contract, stating, "We are pleased to begin our 16th year of continued support to our valued DHS FPS customer. This continued partnership reflects our strong commitment to dependable, high-quality communications and operational support for the nation's first responders." Kaminsky's remarks emphasize the importance CSMI places on maintaining its relationships with key federal agencies, particularly in fulfilling missions critical to public safety.

The recompete contract demonstrates CSMI's dedication to providing responsive, customer-centered support that aligns with the operational needs of the DHS FPS. By leveraging its expertise in communications integration, operations management, and lifecycle support, CSMI is well-equipped to sustain essential capabilities for customers operating in high-pressure environments.
