The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) seeks to procure Motorola brand Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Very High Frequency (VHF), and multiband radios and accessories via a five-year Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This procurement supports the Commander, Navy Installations Command's modernization of the Enterprise Land Mobile Radio (ELMR) system. The justification for limiting competition is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) which identifies Motorola as the sole source due to compatibility with existing infrastructure and proprietary technology. Market research showed that no alternative vendors could meet compatibility requirements. Plans for future competition are unclear, as the government intends to monitor for potential sources while acknowledging current equipment was procured non-competitively previously. The anticipated costs have been deemed fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer, emphasizing a focus on maintaining compatibility and operational integrity within the existing ELMR system. This document reflects standard governmental practices regarding non-competitive procurement while supporting military operational needs.
