RFQ PSE01-Portable Radios

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) is seeking quotes for the procurement of 250 Multi-Bandable portable radios, 42 gang charger bases, and related warranty services. The MPTC is issuing this Request for Quotes (RFQ) under the Massachusetts Operational Service Division's PSE01: Public Safety Equipment & Two-Way Radio contract, with an estimated purchase date between November 4, 2024 and onwards. The required specifications for the portable radios and gang charger bases include features such as multi-banding, P25 Phase 1 and 2 support, and over-the-air programming capabilities. Respondents must submit a quote with a breakout of costs, as the RFQ notes that not all items have a static MSRP price list, and the vendor should provide a base price, their contracted discount, and the final contracted pricing.

The RFQ is issued in accordance with the MA OSD PSE01 Public Safety Equipment & Two-Way Radio contract user guide, which outlines the five equipment, supply, and service categories covered under the contract, including Fire, Emergency Medical Services, Police, Marine, and Two-Way Radio. The contract term is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026, with one 2-year extension option, and offers competitive pricing through volume discounts and prompt payment terms. The contract has 55 total vendors across the 5 categories, each with their own discounts and service offerings, and eligible entities can utilize the contract to purchase equipment, supplies, and services through COMMBUYS, the state's online procurement platform.
