Notice of intent to synopizse sole source fort gregg-adams land and moblie radio (LMR) system

This synopsis constitutes formal notification of the Army Contracting Command -Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) on behalf of Product Director Base Emergency Communications System {PD BECS) to solicit a sole source justification for a Land Mobile Radio {LMR) system. The Government intends to Sole Source LMR System - Fort Gregg-Adams, VA to Motorola Solutions, Inc. {MSI) in accordance with FAR subpart 13.501, "Special Documentation Requirements" to provide the required ACE LMR Fort Gregg-Adams Modernization effort. The requirement will result in a Firm Fixed Price {FFP) contract consisting of a twenty-four {24) month base period with no option years. The award is projected for August 2025.

The requirement is to modernize and provide the integration of Fort Gregg-Adams LMR system with Army CONUS Enterprise (ACE) LMR system. Fort Gregg-Adams requires a reliable and secure communications system to support its mission-critical operations, including requirements to Engineer, Furnish, Install, Secure, and Test (EFIS&T) a turnkey LMR system comprised of BECS infrastructure, subscriber equipment, services, warranty, and licenses to ensure all necessary equipment is fully functional and integrated with existing ACE LMR system.

The vendor's system currently utilizes a unique waveform that is essential for interoperability with existing Department of Defense systems at Fort Gregg-Adams, and no other vendor offers a comparable solution. The system cores are the central management equipment of the LMR systems that diagnose and monitor system faults and performance, program infrastructure elements, maintain and perform systems security functions, and log usage information for the LMR system. The system core for Motorola Solutions is proprietary and is therefore uniquely qualified for the Fort Gregg-Adams modernization site. Please note that this procurement is not for new radio purchases. Instead, the requirement focuses on modernizing the current Motorola LMR system at Fort Gregg-Adams to meet specific requirements for interoperability and future adaptability within the BECS framework.

Integration with other systems is not feasible without significant and costly modifications. If vendor(s) were to propose, the proposed system must seamlessly integrate with Motorola's existing dispatch console and tower infrastructure which is manufactured by Motorola. It would require the Offeror to have specialized capabilities essential for seamlessly integrating Fort Gregg-Adams legacy system into a unified, interoperable, and state-of-the­ art subsystem. This could result in significant interoperability challenges since the system core for Fort Gregg-Adams is Motorola Solutions and proprietary by nature.
