FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i)

Motorola equipment is utilized by all OJS Districts to provide public safety communications interoperability with BIA Law Enforcement Officers. The Motorola Portable Radio is compatible with existing training procedures and equipment that is in service in all OJS Law Enforcement vehicles. Utilizing this equipment greatly enhances officer and public safety.

Currently there are 250 of these radios in use and issuance of a different brand would require retraining officers to use new equipment creating an officer/community safety risk. None of the current parts and accessories for portable radios could be used. Technicians would need to be re-trained and new software and programing equipment would need to be procured.

The Brand Name Justification will be included with the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation published on SAM.gov. There are Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) available for competition; therefore the set-aside will be ISBEE.
