RFQ-its 25-2056

CAL FIRE, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, has issued Request for Quotation RFQ-ITS 25-2056 for the procurement of 16 spare ModUcom equipment replacement positions to support the agency's emergency communications infrastructure. The procurement was posted on May 15, 2026, with a deadline for quotation submissions on May 29, 2026. Each spare position equipment set includes a comprehensive array of integrated components: a PC tower with Windows operating system and solid-state drive, a 24-inch ELO touchscreen monitor, operator position workstation software license, computer audio module with enclosure and power supply, telephone/recorder interface board with associated cables, audio recorder cable, standard peripherals (mouse and keyboard), CAM-to-PIC interface cable, footswitch cable assembly, headset jackbox cable, speaker cables (20 feet per two speakers per position), dynamic microphone, single pedal footswitch with 10-foot cable, headset jackbox, and Tripp Lite outlet strip with twist-lock plug. The procurement is driven by existing dispatch consoles reaching the end of their service life, with the objective of maintaining seamless emergency coordination infrastructure functionality. Key technical requirements mandate that all equipment provide exact operational specifications to maintain effectiveness and increase repair efficiencies, with PC configuration requiring the disabling of all security functions except those specified in the configuration file and direct interface capability with the computer audio processing module connected to the master system controller. Additionally, each operator position workstation must utilize a Position Interface Card (PIC II) to control all functions between the position computer and the main system controller. The RFQ specifies detailed technical specifications, pricing requirements, and submission conditions that vendors must meet for consideration.

The solicitation documents do not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, or current contractors associated with this procurement. No budget range or award value has been disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement requires integration with CAL FIRE's existing ModUcom communications system infrastructure, as the replacement positions must interface directly with the master system controller and maintain operational compatibility with the agency's current dispatch console network.
