This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of Motorola XPR3500E two-way portable radios and associated maintenance services by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) State Highway Administration (SHA), specifically the Operations and Transportation Management Office (OTMO) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Division. The radios will be used for critical communication between the State Operations Center, CHART field operators, district shops, and maintenance workers on the Maryland First Public Safety Radio Network. The contract requires the provision of 130 radios along with related accessories such as antennas, batteries, and chargers. Vendors must submit proposals electronically through the state's eMMA e-Procurement system by October 5, 2023. Evaluation criteria will be established at the PORFP level, and the award will be made to the responsible and responsive vendor whose proposal is most advantageous to the state based on the evaluation factors.

This contract opportunity is limited to Master Contractors awarded under the Radio Communications 2018 Master Contract and has a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal for the installation and maintenance services. No incumbent vendor information or budget range details are provided in the given materials. However, the contract is for the replacement of obsolete and unsupported radios currently in use, indicating a need for urgent procurement to address communication gaps on the Maryland First Public Safety Radio Network.
