This PORFP is restricted to Master Contractors who have been awarded contracts under the Radio Communications 2018 Master Contract (#060B7400088) — a hard set-aside that limits competition to pre-approved vendors.

The scope includes 18 Motorola APX NX50 portable radios (Model 7/800) configured for 3600 or 9600 trunking baud operation, TDMA operation, P25 link layer authentication, and baseline release software. The equipment package encompasses a desktop charger unit, lithium-ion batteries, belt clips, radio management carry accessories, and online radio management software licenses with three years of support services under the APX N50/30 DMS Essential contract term. All equipment must be new, unused, and virus-free.

Eligible bidders must be authorized Motorola resellers and may be required to provide manufacturer authorization documentation. Proposals must include itemized quotes with part numbers, estimated ship dates and lead times, and screenshots of Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices. Bids must be password-protected and submitted via email to Adam M. Hidey; passwords must be sent separately at least two hours prior to bid opening. Pricing must remain valid for at least 90 days following the proposal due date, with no restocking fees permitted for returns due to damage or incorrect shipment.

Award will be made to the proposal determined most advantageous to the State, with evaluation prioritizing matching part numbers and descriptions followed by cost basis. Requested delivery is December 31, 2025. The MTA reserves the right to purchase more or less than 18 units based on available funding. Invoices must comply with COMAR 21.06.09.01 and .02.
