FirstNet Simplifies Service Contracts with NPPGov

It’s now even easier for public safety to sign up for FirstNet service using NPPGov. AT&T* worked with NPPGov – a government procurement vehicle – to simplify and broaden the FirstNet contracting process for public safety entities. Now, all FirstNet-eligible users can gain quick access to FirstNet through NPPGov.

There are 2 big changes to the NPPGov contract for FirstNet. 1. NPPGov members interested in signing up for FirstNet can now skip the contracting process altogether. The Public Procurement Authority (the lead public agency awarding the contract) signed state agreements, which lets customers access custom FirstNet pricing in their applicable state without signing a contract. This allows FirstNet customers to jump right into onboarding. 2.All FirstNet-eligible subscribers, who are existing NPPGov members or enroll for a membership, can now use NPPGov to sign up for service. NPPGov was originally only available to government entities. But with this change, the NPPGov contract for FirstNet is open to volunteer firefighters, private ambulance companies, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and more.
