GPE Post_Justification FAR Part 6 (JA) Redacted_W912CN26DA015_IP2 LMR.pdf

This is a FAR Part 6 Justification and Approval document for a sole source contract to provide sustainment services for the Indo-Pacific Partners (IP2) Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. The requiring activity is the 311th Signal Command and U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC)/G6, managed by the 413th Contracting Support Brigade, Regional Contracting Office-Hawaii. The contractor is Motorola Solutions Inc. (CAGE: 78205), located at 7031 Columbia Gateway Drive, Linthicum Heights, MD 21046.

The contract scope encompasses comprehensive sustainment of secure and reliable LMR communications infrastructure and installation operations across Hawaii, mainland Japan, Okinawa, and South Korea. Services include preventive and corrective maintenance, remote system monitoring, cybersecurity support, and emergency response coordination to maintain 99.9% system uptime. The full IP2 LMR architecture includes hardware (base stations, repeaters, servers, dispatch consoles, radio frequency equipment), software (proprietary firmware and cybersecurity updates), and infrastructure (cabling and enter systems). The contract is structured with a base period from 01 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, followed by three one-year options and a final six-month option through 31 December 2030. The estimated overall total price is redacted. The justification cites Title 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) (only one responsible source), noting that Motorola Solutions Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer of the IP2 ASTRO-25 LMR system with proprietary software and diagnostic tools that preclude third-party access. A Sources Sought Notice was published 1-12 May 2025, receiving six capability statements, but only Motorola Solutions Inc. demonstrated certified technician coverage across all operational areas and system-level access to the proprietary ASTRO-25 version 7.17.3 software. The document details historical contract awards to Motorola Solutions dating back to 2012, all reinforcing the company's unique technical capability and operational continuity requirements for legacy system sustainment.
