Communication Radio Kit, System, Relay and Range Extender

Leon County, through the Division of Florida State Guard, is seeking to procure a comprehensive Communication Radio Kit and associated systems via a single-source procurement. The acquisition encompasses multiple specialized communication radio packages, including the TW-950 and TW-750 Radio Kits, with a total of 15 units targeting special missions unit operations. Specific components include antennas, hub systems, cables, power supplies, tactical phone systems, and PTT/headset systems designed for 5 operators. The procurement covers several distinct communication packages: Special Missions Dismounted Operator Kit, Mobile Command & Control Vehicle Communications Package, Special Missions Vehicle Agnostic Command & Control Kit, and Tactical MANET Radio Range Extension Package. These systems are intended to provide advanced radio communications capabilities, including line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communication technologies for personnel recovery, disaster response, and tactical operations. The solicitation was posted on February 28, 2025, with proposals due by March 14, 2025, representing a targeted procurement timeline of approximately two weeks.

The procurement is structured as a single-source acquisition with Onboarding Weapons and Tactics Alliance Group identified as the exclusive manufacturer for these specialized communication radios. The estimated total procurement value is $916,000.00, with approvals obtained from key personnel including John Conner (Purchasing Director), LTC. Terrence Gorman (Deputy of JAG), and Edward Bouza (Budget Officer). While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the highly specialized nature of the communication equipment suggests a narrow vendor qualification profile. The communication systems are designed to be adaptable across multiple vehicle platforms and environmental conditions, indicating a requirement for advanced technological integration capabilities. The procurement appears focused on enhancing tactical communication infrastructure for the Florida State Guard, with an emphasis on multi-waveform communications technologies that can operate in diverse operational scenarios.
