1. Brand Name Justification & Approval - Redact - Radio Repeaters 2025.pdf

This Justification Review Document for a Brand Name Procurement under FAR Part 13.501 is for the 181st Intelligence Wing, Indiana Air National Guard (IN ANG). The requirement is to procure Motorola Radio Repeater Equipment, including twelve (12) Channel Conversion Upgrade, nine (9) new GTR 8000 Base Radios, three (3) GTR 8000 Reconfigurations, one (12) Channel combiner/multicoupler, three (3) new antennas and transmission lines, one (1) rack-mounted UPS, and one (1) new rack. The procurement also includes Essential Plus Services such as Service Desk support, technical support, onsite support, annual preventative maintenance, and network hardware repair with advanced replacement.

The justification cites sole-source procurement due to compatibility requirements with existing Motorola LMR infrastructure. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov, and market research revealed no other manufacturers can provide full interoperability. The document notes that in 2013, the unit received 4 GTR 8000 repeaters from NGB and this procurement will replace and relocalize the remaining equipment. Five small businesses were identified as potentially interested, including AEG Group, BHPE LLC, Edge Technology Distributors, Ferbak Inc., and WildFlower International. The total estimated amount is redacted, but the procurement is deemed the most cost-effective solution to meet the unit's requirements.
