Federal Government, Non-NCS Member Organizations

Federal government, non-NCS member organizations may subscribe to GETS by:

Having an organizational mission which directly supports National Security/Emergency     Preparedness

Agreeing to be financially responsible for GETS calls placed by members of your organization     should the annual GETS funding threshold be exceeded. All federal organizations using GETS     must sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which establishes the terms and conditions
    for any necessary billing for GETS usage.

Completing the following steps:

  1. Appoint a GETS Point of Contact (POC) and alternate.

  2. Request Sponsorship from the NCS. Complete the Request for GETS Sponsorship Form and send it to the NCS. Upon approval, the NCS will provide a letter validating the organization as a qualified GETS user.

  3. Complete an online POC Request Form for the POC and alternate. After completion of the request, you will have the option to submit additional requests for each individual GETS user. The POC or alternate may request a small quantity of stockpile cards at this time. These active cards are issued to the POC, with no name on them, for emergency issuance. When requesting GETS cards online, leave the section for Wireless Priority Service (WPS) blank unless you are also requesting that service.

  4. When the requests are approved, the GETS cards will be mailed to the POC for further distribution.

POCs (and alternate POCs) agree to the following responsibilities:

  • Determining who should have GETS cards within the organization and limiting GETS cards to only those personnel or positions that have a clear NS/EP duty.
  • Familiarizing those users with GETS.
  • Certifying the Call Detail Record (CDR) listing all calls made by users within the organization. POCs are required to certify the calls reported on the monthly CDR constitute valid and appropriate GETS usage.
  • Validating all GETS cards are still needed and accounted for.
    Failure to conduct an annual validation will result in termination of the cards.
