Canyon RT7000RMR aircraft radios

The state of Maryland, through the Maryland State Police Aviation Command (MSPAC), is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure ten (10) RT-7000 Remote Mount Radios, twenty (20) Remote Control Display Units, and various associated connectors and accessories to upgrade the radios in their fleet of ten (10) AW139 Helicopters. The contract will be for a two (2) year base period, with the contractor expected to provide a minimum of one (1) radio every five (5) weeks. Bidders must provide firm fixed pricing on all required line items, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the responsive bid with the lowest total bid price. The IFB sets a bid due date of August 2, 2023 and does not include any Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals.

The IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The solicitation does, however, include a trade-in credit of at least $5,100 per set of operational RT-5000 Radio & C-5000 controller products returned within 24 months of the first RT-7000 radio delivery. The state will not reimburse the contractor for any travel expenses, and the total awarded contract amount will be the only compensation provided.
