This document is a Brand Name Justification for a federal contract opportunity. It outlines the requirement for the Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC) at Naval Air Station Pensacola to procure 20 Motorola APX 8000 all-band portable radios and 6 associated chargers. The justification explains that these brand name items are required for standardization and compatibility with the 30 existing Motorola radios currently in use, which are integrated with the training procedures and equipment at all NASC facilities. Using a different brand would require retraining and complete reinstallation, negatively impacting officer and public safety. The total estimated value is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The related federal contract opportunity is Solicitation Number N6883624P0171, which was awarded to EWING ELECTRONICS, INC. for $170,050.90 on 2024-09-10.
