Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 97th Contracting Flight

Project/Program Name: Motorola Radio Warranty

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: F1B2A19259AW01

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $0.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The 97 MXG currently has over 300 APX 4000 radio devices where the warranty has expired. A new maintenance agreement is required. The maintenance agreement includes Service from the Start (SfS), which allows the Government's radio devices operating in peak condition. The maintenance coverage includes tests and repairs, and returns the radio to original factory specifications. Firmware is also upgraded to the latest version. SfS adheres to a proven process of analysis and restoration, backed by a 90-day warranty. Service agreements allow the Government to budget the maintenance costs on an annual basis. Equipment covered under service agreements also receive a higher service priority, which results in quicker repair times.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The radios that are used by the 97 MXG are Motorola Radios. The radios must be serviced and maintained by Motorola. The current warranty of the radios is set to expire, therefore, a maintenance agreement is required.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market Research was conducted to try to find any available source that can complete the requirement, but none were found.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

In the future, if the purchase of these warranties become necessary again, 97 CONF will research the requirements to determine if they can be placed out for competition.
