About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Network Contracting Office 07 (NCO 07), has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for All-Band P25 Smart Radios to Motorola Solutions Inc. The contract will be awarded under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as a single source procurement, with services to be performed at the Augusta VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. The anticipated award date is September 5, 2025, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 334220 for Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. This notice specifically states that it is not a solicitation or request for competitive quotes, but rather an announcement of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price agreement for the provision of specialized radio communication equipment.

The purpose of this procurement is to acquire APX NEXT Two-Way Portable Radios for the new Ambulance Service at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, which must be compatible with existing radio communications systems used by local hospitals, law enforcement, fire, and EMS departments in a six-county area. Interested parties have only three calendar days from the publication date (until September 3, 2025) to identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement, though any determination to compete the requirement remains solely at the government's discretion. Prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award and must submit written responses only. The justification for the sole source award is based on the proprietary nature of the existing radio communications system, which requires specific security key programming and technical compatibility that only Motorola can provide through their authorized distributor. The total contract value appears to be under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000, and the government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by parties responding to this notice.
