All radios must feature a full 12-button keypad with DTMF capability, IP65 environmental rating, 2-watt minimum audio output, and individual front panel programming for frequencies, channel names, and mode selection with zone-to-zone cloning functionality. Desired capabilities include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS receiver with mapping and location sharing, and support for encryption, over-the-air rekeying, and trunking add-ons compliant with TIA-102 standards. Standard packaging includes antenna, rechargeable battery, belt clip, and user guide. Award will be made using Best Value Analysis. The contract is anticipated for award in May 2026, and procurement may include options for quantity adjustments based on actual regional needs across participating jurisdictions.
