Offerors as Practicable

A synopsis of the brand name items was initially released on the Beta System for Award Management (https://beta.sam.gov) on 13 April 2021 notifying suppliers of the related equipment that will be specified on the PBs. One response from an authorized Motorola reseller has been received offering to supply the required radios. However, no responses were received offering different radio systems to meet the requirement.

On 13 May 2021 the synopsis of the brand name items was reissued correcting the model number of the Motorola radio listed in the original sources sought from the APX 7000XE P25 to the APX 8000XE P25. Two response were received however they did not address the underlying radio requirement.

Quantities of this requirement have been purchased from this offeror in the past and cost/pricing information was received on those past procurements. This information should be sufficient to support the fair and reasonable cost determination of this procurement.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NAVSEA has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVSEA will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
