About this opportunity
The City of Providence, Rhode Island, through its Department of Purchasing, is conducting a special procurement (Procurement #49924) for tactical radio equipment and training for public safety communication systems. The procurement is a sole source acquisition from Modtech Corp., focusing on radio coverage enhancement for 700/800 MHz trunked public safety radio systems, including FirstNet. The specific procurement includes one tactical BDA (Bi-Directional Amplifier) system with tactical amplifier and antenna kits, network management and DC charging options, one Flexible Antenna Kit, and five Auxiliary Cable Reels. The equipment delivery is targeted for eight weeks from order receipt, with an optional on-site training component available for up to 12 participants. The training will encompass both classroom and practical application segments, lasting between half to one full day depending on class size and logistical considerations. Written comments and submissions are due by June 30th, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, and must be sent directly to the Purchasing Director at atirado@providenceri.gov.
This procurement appears to be a standard sole source procurement without specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total estimated procurement value is $47,092.00, broken down into $45,092.00 for equipment and $2,000.00 for optional training. The procurement follows Section 21-54 of the City's Code of Ordinances for Sole Source Verification, indicating a direct procurement method with Modtech Corp. as the sole identified vendor for these specific radio communication enhancement technologies. The scope suggests integration with existing public safety radio infrastructure, particularly FirstNet networks, and targets immediate radio coverage improvement for Providence County. The procurement notice was initially published on June 22nd, 2025, with an expiration date of June 30th, 2025, providing a relatively short window for potential comments or inquiries about the procurement.
