JPMC EMERGENCY EXTENSION 6 - Starcom21 Equipment

The State of Illinois, specifically the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is seeking an emergency contract extension for Starcom21 compatible radio equipment to support state and local law enforcement and emergency agencies in St. Clair County. This is the sixth emergency extension for a contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc., covering the period from November 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025. The procurement is designed to ensure continuous radio communication capabilities for emergency entities operating on the Starcom21 network. The original emergency contract was initiated on November 15, 2022, and has undergone multiple extensions while DoIT finalizes a new Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) with Motorola Solutions. The contract's primary objective is to provide critical communications infrastructure for emergency response organizations, with a focus on maintaining uninterrupted radio communication capabilities. The due date for this emergency extension is November 20, 2024, and the procurement is explicitly noted as not being a standard bid opportunity.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The procurement notes that only one registered Business Enterprise Program (BEP) firm exists in the applicable commodity codes, effectively eliminating competitive diversity. The original emergency contract was estimated at $2,000,000, with the most recent extension prior to this one having a $0 dollar value. Motorola Solutions, Inc. is the incumbent and proposed vendor for this emergency extension, with the state actively working to transition to a new Joint Purchase Master Contract. The procurement supports existing Starcom21 network infrastructure and requires compatible radio equipment that can integrate with current emergency communication systems. The contract serves multiple jurisdictions, with St. Clair County specifically identified, and is designed to ensure continuous emergency communication capabilities for local and state agencies across Illinois.
