7G--Motorola Smart Connect JOFOC

The Bureau of Land Management California (BLM-CA) is awarding a sole-source contract under FAR 6.103-1 to procure Motorola Smart Connect to ensure seamless interoperability between its existing Motorola land mobile radio (LMR) infrastructure and broadband/IP-based communications for mission-critical field operations. This action is driven by the proprietary nature of Motorola’s system, which is the only solution capable of integrating with BLM-CA’s current subscriber units without requiring costly replacements or compromising operational continuity. The contract, solicited under number 140L1226Q0024 and posted on June 29, 2026, with a response deadline of July 14, 2026, is valued at an estimated $433,696.00 covering the base period and four option years, with no separate pricing for options or line items specified. Performance and delivery are centered at the BLM-CA office in Sacramento, California, where software licensing and system integration will occur. The deliverable includes Motorola Smart Connect with TDMA, Wi-Fi capability, and FedRAMP Managed Zone Core pass-through, ensuring secure, reliable communications essential for the safety of field personnel and the public. No competition was pursued due to documented technical exclusivity and lack of viable alternatives, and no evaluation factors, weighted criteria, or formal proposal submission guidelines were established. The contract does not include specified packaging, marking, inspection standards, or detailed payment instructions, and no subcontracting, socioeconomic certifications, or offeror representations are documented. The contracting officer is John Cabral, with Michael Anson as the primary point of contact, and no contracting officer’s representative is identified. The procurement relies entirely on the agency’s justification that Motorola Smart Connect is the only supplier capable of fulfilling the operational and interoperability requirements as defined by existing infrastructure.
