6130-egba-FY16-DTR map: RN-16-0228

This procurement, designated as 6130-EGBA-FY16-DTR MAP: RN-16-0228, represents a sole source acquisition by Denver County and Denver City in Colorado for Motorola radio communications equipment or related technology infrastructure. The procurement is intended to support emergency services, public safety, or government communications operations. The primary deliverable involves Motorola communications equipment or services that will integrate with existing system infrastructure. The key objective is to procure equipment or services that maintain compatibility with the jurisdiction's current Motorola-based communications systems while meeting specified technical requirements for emergency or government operations. The procurement was posted on October 19, 2015, with a proposal due date of October 26, 2015, allowing potential vendors a seven-day window to submit responses. As a sole source acquisition, the procurement does not require competitive bidding, and Motorola has been identified as the only qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications and compatibility requirements established by the jurisdictions.

The sole source justification document establishes that Motorola is the only vendor capable of fulfilling the requirements due to technical specifications, existing system compatibility, or proprietary technology considerations that necessitate a non-competitive award approach. The procurement adheres to Colorado state procurement law requirements for sole source acquisitions, addressing circumstances that eliminate the feasibility of competitive procurement. The justification demonstrates that alternative vendors cannot meet the technical requirements or that compatibility with the existing Motorola-based communications infrastructure necessitates the single source approach. Pricing and payment terms would be negotiated directly with Motorola rather than through competitive bidding processes. The specific award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the available documentation. This procurement method is identified as the most cost-effective and operationally practical approach given the technical and operational constraints associated with integrating with existing Motorola communications systems.
