About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Regional Procurement Office West (RPOW), is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a comprehensive two-way radio communication system for the James Mountain Inhofe VA Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The procurement seeks brand name or equal equipment, including a SLR 8000 Base Radio with associated components such as duplexers, wirelining, preselectors, and base station operation equipment, along with 40 Mototrbo R2 400-480M UHF handheld radios. Key requirements include comprehensive radio coverage throughout the approximately 300,000 square-foot facility to support engineering and safety personnel communications, compliance with military standards, operating temperatures from -22°F to 140°F, and IP55 dust and water resistance ratings. Respondents must submit detailed business information including SAM EUID, NAICS Code 334220, business size and type classification, capability statements, and product country of origin documentation. The response deadline is December 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with submissions directed to Martin Torres via email. This is explicitly identified as a sources sought notice for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or binding contract offer.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and identifies no incumbent contractors. The requirement encompasses 40 handheld UHF radios operating in the 400-480 MHz frequency band with 12.5/25 kHz channel spacing, 64-channel capacity, and a minimum 17-hour battery life to support one full work shift without recharging. The complete package includes charging stations, batteries, antennas, installation services, system testing, comprehensive documentation, and a mandatory five-year local service agreement providing technical support and repairs. Delivery and installation are expected within 60 days of order receipt, with the project targeting completion by November 2025. While specific award values are not disclosed in this sources sought notice, the comprehensive nature of the requirement—encompassing equipment, installation, training, and five years of service support—indicates a significant procurement. Interested vendors must recognize that responses to this market research notice are not binding offers and will be used solely to assist the government in determining the appropriate acquisition method for this future requirement.
