PR: 637-24-2-996-0082

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The Asheville VA Medical Center is in the process of implementing a facility wide Motorola radio communications system that will be operational 3rd quarter FY24. The APX 4500 Enhanced console is for use in the emergency department for communications with incoming ambulances. North Carolina Emergency Services has a statewide radio system called VIPER which is a requirement that all ambulances and ER departments in the state have to be able to communicate on that platform and the current console has reached end of life status and needs to be replaced with the APX 4500 which meets those requirements.

Estimated Amount: $11,661.26

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

This device is a dispatch console that allows for 2 way communications over an extended mile range via text messaging and voice calls and is able to operate with or without wifi access.To ensure compatibility there is no other console other than the APX 4500 console that will integrate seamlessly into the Motorola communications system that is being implemented.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

As stated above, this radio needs to be compatible with the new Motorola System that is being installed in the facility as well as the statewide VIPER Emergency Services radio system. This console is replacing the current one that is at the end of life status and is also not compatible with the system that is currently being implemented.
