Anritsu S412E LMR Master Service Analyzer

The Colorado Office of Public Safety Communications (OPSC) is conducting a sole source procurement for three units of Anritsu S412E LMR Master Service Analyzers, with a posted date of March 10, 2026, and a due date of March 13, 2026. This procurement involves the acquisition of specialized equipment required to maintain the State's Digital Trunked Radio (DTR) system infrastructure. The Anritsu S412E is a Motorola-certified service analyzer that consolidates the functionality of three separate test equipment pieces, enabling radio alignment, antenna system sweeps, transmit combiner alignment, and coverage area mapping. OPSC has standardized this equipment across its operations and aims to deploy one unit to each of thirteen service shops statewide, with the initial procurement of three units anticipated in the current fiscal year followed by three additional units in the subsequent fiscal year. The approval period for this procurement runs from March 9, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The request was previously posted on the electronic procurement system (VSS) as NPSS1 RFAA 2026-0131, which received no competing responses, and price reasonableness was established through historical comparison with the previous two purchases, demonstrating no unjustified cost increases.

The sole source procurement designation restricts this opportunity to Anritsu America Sales Company, as Anritsu manufactures the S412E and sells exclusively through its own company channels, making it the only identified vendor capable of supplying this equipment. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other organizational restrictions are indicated in the procurement documentation. This represents the third consecutive purchase from Anritsu, justified by the critical need for standardized training and maintenance procedures across all DTR system service shops statewide and the lack of comparable alternative equipment with equivalent features and form factor. The initial competitive procurement of six units resulted in Anritsu's original award when no competing vendors could provide suitable alternatives. The estimated total cost for the three units is $130,000.00, with no separate service costs identified. Purchasing Agent Emily Laincz processed the request, and the sole source procurement was approved by the Colorado Office of Public Safety Communications.
