Redacted DD 2579 SBCR - BDA.pdf

This is a Small Business Coordination Record (Form DD-AT&L (AR) 1862) documenting a federal procurement action for the Department of Defense.

The requirement is for procurement, replacement, professional installation, programming, integration, and testing of a Qty1 Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) to support the 380-400 MHz Enterprise Land Mobile Radio (ELMR) system. The specific device is an indoor dual band UHF BDA, model "27 DL, 65 dB Gain 'N'" in a 2-Enclosure, PSC/NAICS classification 5820 (Radio and Television Communication Equipment). The procurement is driven by the need to restore reliable portable radio coverage throughout a military facility and allow facility personnel to operate on the installation's current trunked radio system. The performance period is FY26 to FY26, with the buying office located at M67001 MCI-East under contract specialist Soph T. Son. The requirement is recommended for Other Than Full and Open Competition, with market research indicating that the required BDA system is unavailable through agency inventories and GSA sources. Commercial products are available to meet requirements per FAR 12.101(a); the G-Wave Indoor Dual Band UHF BDA is identified as the only equipment capable of seamless integration with the active system, as alternate brands are technically incapable of integrating with the current legacy system. Contracting Officer David R. Bovee approved the record on 20260727, and Small Business Professional Christopher B. concurred on the same date.
