Portable tactical repeaters & duplexers

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is procuring portable tactical repeater and duplexer equipment through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The solicitation seeks bids for two VHF and UHF repeaters that must be P25 compliant, weigh under 25 lbs, and have swappable duplexers and hot-swappable batteries. Additionally, SLED requires three removable/swappable duplexers, two VHF and one UHF. The equipment must meet a minimum 2-year warranty requirement. The bid is due on June 25, 2024 at 3:00 PM, and the award will be posted on June 28, 2024. The apparent low bidder may be required to provide a product demonstration prior to award. Bidders can claim the South Carolina resident vendor preference, South Carolina end-product preference, or US end-product preference, if applicable.

The solicitation is open to the state of South Carolina, as well as the jurisdictions of Richland County and the City of Columbia. No incumbent information is provided, and the contract value or budget range is not specified. The funding source and requirements are also not explicitly stated, but the solicitation indicates that payments and performance will be subject to the availability and appropriation of funds. SLED may issue a new solicitation at a later date, as no bids were received for the initial solicitation.
