Notice of Intent to Award Fire Radio Equipment

The City of Eugene, Oregon, intends to participate in an interstate cooperative procurement through NASPO ValuePoint (Contract No. 06913, Oregon PA-5676) for the acquisition of fire radio equipment and infrastructure licenses from Motorola Solutions, Inc. This procurement specifically involves the procurement of communication technology for Lane County and the City of Eugene. The contract opportunity focuses on acquiring comprehensive fire radio systems, including equipment and associated infrastructure licenses necessary for emergency communication networks. Vendor comments and responses were due by 5:00 P.M. on Friday, November 5, 2021, and were required to be submitted via email to Eugene.Purchasing@ci.eugene.or.us. The procurement appears to be a strategic technology upgrade aimed at enhancing emergency communication capabilities for local government agencies.
