7G--GPS base radios

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington is seeking to procure 14 Trimble TDL 450B external radio systems for GPS base radio operations. Each system includes TDL450B external radios, hard shell cases, 410-430 MHz 5db gain antenna kits, and NMO-to-TNC adapter cables, with the radios requiring programming to specific frequencies: 421.250 MHz, 415.075 MHz, 421.850 MHz, and 417.875 MHz. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed-price commercial item contract that also includes one day of onsite training. The contract will be awarded on a lowest-priced technically acceptable basis, with quotes originally due August 28, 2025, though the solicitation was posted August 25, 2025, with a current response deadline of September 1, 2025. The performance period is scheduled from September 15, 2025, to November 1, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services) with a size standard of $19 million. The solicitation represents a sole-source procurement to Trimble, Inc., as justified by the agency's brand name justification memorandum, which establishes Trimble as the only proprietary source capable of supporting and maintaining the existing software and hardware for federal land boundary surveying operations. The new external radios are specifically designed to integrate with the agency's existing Trimble GPS equipment inventory and are the only external radios compatible with current systems. Delivery will be made to the BLM Northwest Oregon District office in Salem, Oregon. While the total contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement involves 14 radio systems with associated equipment and training services to support the agency's cadastral survey operations.
