Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Modernization and Interoperability Into Base Emergency Communications System (BECS)

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for a Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Modernization and Interoperability project to integrate with the Base Emergency Communications System (BECS). The procurement seeks a fully integrated, APCO Project 25 (P25) compliant LMR subsystem designed to support Army emergency response requirements with integration points including Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), Enterprise Mass Warning and Notification (EMWN), Next Generation 911 (NG-911), and the First Responder Broadband Network (FRBN). Respondents must provide detailed information addressing eight key areas: company capabilities, standards and interoperability compliance, cybersecurity compliance, transition approaches, lifecycle sustainment, personnel requirements, and small business participation. RFI responses are limited to 15 pages in Microsoft Word or PDF format and must be submitted to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist by the extended deadline of January 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time via email. The place of performance is at LMR installations throughout the Continental United States (CONUS).

This is a market research effort with no set-aside designation applied, and no formal proposals are being requested at this time. The RFI document does not disclose a potential award value, budget range, or contract timeline for the anticipated procurement. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information has been identified in the available documentation. While specific numerical contract details are not provided in the pre-solicitation notice, the scope encompasses multiple integration requirements and appears to be a substantial modernization initiative addressing critical emergency communications infrastructure across Army installations. Interested contractors should note that submission of the RFI does not constitute an obligation for the government to issue a formal solicitation or award a contract.
