The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to award a sole source non-personal services contract to Motorola Solutions Inc. for providing maintenance and support for the US Naval Hospital Guam's APX Mobile and Portable Radios and Bi-Directional Amplifiers. This decision follows Federal Acquisition Regulation allowing for a sole source due to Motorola being the sole responsible source with the necessary OEM certifications and local capability to meet service standards. The contract will cover preventative maintenance and repair services over a base period plus four optional years. Market research found that the in-house staff at NHG lacks the specialized training needed for proper equipment care. Motorola's Guam Service Center is the only UL-audited facility authorized to perform this work in the region. Although this notice does not request competitive proposals, interested vendors may submit capability statements to demonstrate their qualifications by a specified deadline for consideration in potential competitive procurement processes. The government's discretion will ultimately determine whether to proceed with this sole source contract or consider other proposals.
The document outlines the Statement of Work for the provision of Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) service and support at the USN Hospital in Guam. The contractor is responsible for on-site support, including diagnostic services and infrastructure repairs, with specified work hours and service requests management. Key activities include replacing defective components, running diagnostics, and performing annual preventative maintenance checks that involve operational inspections and cleaning.
Additionally, the document details the responsibilities of the contractor and the hospital, including repairs to radio equipment (APX6000/APX8000/APX6500) and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, specifying inclusions and exclusions related to these repairs. Each service will ensure that equipment meets manufacturer specifications while managing all travel expenses. The structure of the document includes defined services, responsibilities, and maintenance checks, emphasizing compliance with relevant regulations. The purpose is to establish a contractual framework for reliable technical support, ensuring optimum operational performance of critical communication infrastructure at the facility.
