Surveillance kits for Motorola radios.

The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) issued a Documented Quote solicitation for surveillance kits designed for use with Motorola APX6500 radios, serving Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions. The procurement requires two specific ARC product models: the ARC T21075 One-Wire Surveillance Kit (up to 700 units) and the ARC T33075 Undercover Surveillance Kit (up to 100 units). Bidders were required to submit proposals exclusively for these specified makes and models, with no equivalent product substitutions or partial bids permitted. All pricing submissions must include shipping and handling charges, and proposals were due on February 27, 2015, at 11:00 AM MDT through the Colorado Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, with hard copies or email submissions also required to Purchasing Agent Vera Kennedy. The award period was scheduled to run from the date of award through State Year 2016, ending on June 30, 2016, with pricing remaining valid throughout this period. The CSP would make award to the responsive and responsible bidder whose bid was determined to be most advantageous to the Colorado State Patrol, and all vendors were required to be registered with Colorado VSS by the solicitation submission deadline to be eligible for consideration.

The solicitation documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or preferences for particular organization types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available procurement materials. The Colorado State Patrol is tax-exempt, and all bidders must account for this status in their pricing submissions. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documentation, though the quantities requested—up to 700 units of the T21075 model and up to 100 units of the T33075 model—indicate a substantial procurement intended to equip the state patrol's radio communication systems with surveillance capabilities.
