ExhibitA_PortableRadioRequirementsMatrix_Writable.docx

This is a Portable Radio Requirements Matrix exhibit supporting a Request for Information issued by the LA-RICS Authority for handheld portable two-way radios intended for use on the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS) Land Mobile Radio (LMR) System. The matrix establishes technical specifications and compatibility requirements that portable radios must meet to operate safely and effectively on the Authority's LMR System infrastructure. The document outlines mandatory and preferred features currently installed and utilized by the Authority, enabling the evaluation of radios available in the telecommunications market. The RFI seeks responses from qualified firms to test and validate radio compatibility, with the goal of developing and publishing a list of tested and approved portable radios for use by the Authority's Member Agencies. This is an informational and planning initiative with no guarantee of future procurement solicitations or business awards.

The matrix functions as a technical evaluation tool rather than a procurement document with pricing terms or budget specifications. The document does not contain information regarding pricing, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or contract award amounts. As this is an RFI for informational purposes only, the matrix serves to standardize the technical criteria against which respondent submissions and tested radios will be evaluated to ensure interoperability and safe operation across the LA-RICS LMR System and its Member Agencies.
