Cannon and Eglin LMR Q&A Responses

1. Are there currently any contractors performing the same or similar services as requested at either Cannon or Eglin AFB? If so, would you mind providing the contract numbers?
Yes, Motorola is currently performing these services for Cannon and Eglin AFB under contract FA2517-17-P-9000. This effort is not a consolidation of any contracts.

2. Will consideration be given for setting this requirement aside to Small Business?
The government has performed extensive market research and has explored all possible small business options for this requirement; however, for this instant requirement it is intended to provide continuity of service until a larger contract can be awarded that provides further small business opportunities. Air Force has determined to proceed with a sole source award to Motorola for this requirement as stated in the synopsis. As required per FAR 6.305, the government will post the justification & approval letter within 14 days of contract award.

3. Will the government consider purchasing radios from an alternate vendor?
This requirement is only for LMR trunking O&M services and not for the purchase of radios. When purchasing radios in the future, the government will perform market research to determine what radios meet its requirement.
