4. Authority Cited: 41 United States Code 1901 as implemented in RFO Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.201-1 under the authority of the simplified procedures.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: Terre Haute has an existing LMR infrastructure and the requested equipment must be 100% compatible and ready to integrate with the current equipment. Only Motorola repeaters and infrastructure can connect with the Motorola LMR infrastructure to ensure 100% compatibility with operational management of the system. Only Motorola technicians or Motorola-approved service shops can perform the upgrades required to existing equipment to allow reuse and integration with an upgraded LMR network.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: A Sources Sought posting was issued on SAM.gov for seven (7) days to discover new potential vendors that could offer acceptable products.

This Sources Sought end 7 August 2024 at 1:00PM EST. Five (5) small business concerns were discovered that could provide requested products under this brand name requirement.

This requirement was solicited as an unfunded request in Fiscal Year 2025 from 27 August 2025 to 22 September 2025 receiving Four (4) quotations that were acceptable.

However, funding was never received to execute. It is our determination that within the

last 12 months since soliciting in 2025 that adequate competition still exists. The requirement has not changed.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: No actions at this time discovered.

8. Market Research: A Sources Sought was posted on SAM.gov encouraging vendors to self-identify if they could provide acceptable products. At this time, due to the specialization of the equipment and the need for new equipment to be compatible with existing equipment already installed, Motorola brand equipment is the only acceptable product.

10. Other Facts:

a. Procurement history.

(1) We were sent 4 GTR 8000 repeaters from NGB in 2013 to partially replace some of the repeaters that we already have. This UFR is to replace the rest and move them to a localized location so they will be behind a secure door and able to do PMI at one localized place.

b. Other facts:

(1) The requested brand is the only known brand that can fully satisfy the

Government's needs. Market research has shown there are compatibility issues between manufacturers and no other LMR system manufacturers can provide upgrades to existing equipment and installation of new equipment to provide 100% interoperability and functionality with all components and features.

(2) Currently, the most cost-effective solution to meet our requirements is to purchase Motorola equipment. Additionally, reuse of existing equipment can only be performed by Motorola technicians and will provide significant cost savings to the Government. The 181 CF/SCOT will continue to monitor the infrastructure and the market in the event other suitable products become available that meet requirements.
