SoN LMR Coverage Analysis_.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Contracting issued by the Department of the Air Force, 502d Air Base Wing at Joint Base San Antonio, outlining a procurement requirement for LMR (Land Mobile Radio) coverage analysis services.

The 502d Contracting Squadron seeks to procure a new LMR Radio Coverage Analysis to support Lackland Air Force Base. The technical requirement involves conducting a comprehensive coverage data study across a 4400-square-mile survey area encompassing the 5-mile military influence area surrounding the base, including both inbound and outbound testing of six existing UHF R1 ASTRO Site Repeaters currently located on base. The primary need is to obtain real-time, granular visibility into communication coverage gaps to enable data-driven infrastructure optimization and improve service reliability across the base's growing training areas and expanding footprint. The Air Force currently lacks the internal capability and resources to conduct such analysis independently. The memorandum identifies Motorola as offering a comprehensive suite of services and tools specifically designed for identifying and mitigating coverage gaps in LMR systems, indicating a potential sole-source or limited-competition procurement approach. The analysis is intended to support mission continuity, reduce reliance on cellular backup systems, and enable future network expansion planning to better serve Airmen and Mission partners at the installation.
