Equipment Purchase – Motorboat R5 Radios

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Crownpoint Healthcare Facility has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 75H71025Q00353) for the procurement of 30 Motorboat R5 Radios to establish communication capabilities among the Emergency Management Team. The radios must meet specific technical specifications including 136-174 MHZ frequency, single unit charger, 2.5 belt clip, accessory dust cover, LIZ-ION IP67 battery, and must include five years of essential repair and software support. Contractors are required to provide detailed equipment lists containing make, model, and serial numbers along with shipping tracking information upon delivery. The solicitation was posted on September 8, 2025, with proposals due by September 12, 2025, providing potential contractors with only four days to prepare and submit their responses. Delivery of the radio equipment must be completed within 30 days after contract award.

This procurement is designated as a Buy Indian Act set-aside specifically for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) with a size standard of 1,250 employees, restricting competition to qualifying Native American-owned businesses. The contract does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this equipment purchase. While the solicitation does not specify the total contract value or budget range, the procurement involves a relatively modest quantity of 30 radio units with associated maintenance services. The place of performance is the Crownpoint Healthcare Facility located in Crownpoint, New Mexico 87313, where the radio equipment will be delivered and utilized by the emergency management personnel. The 30-day post-award delivery timeline indicates an urgent operational need for this communications equipment at the healthcare facility.
