Digital Microwave Radios and Associated Equipment Procurement

The solicitation issued by the New Mexico Department of Information Technology and the State Purchasing Division (solicitation number 40-00000-24-00085) seeks bids for digital microwave radios and associated equipment to establish a statewide price agreement. The procurement encompasses a range of communication microwave backhaul radio equipment, including licensed and unlicensed radios with capacities from DS-1 up to 155 Mbps or greater, as well as related services such as cloud and subscriber-based offerings. The solicitation was released on July 26, 2024, with a bid submission deadline of August 5, 2024. While the contract value is not explicitly provided, pricing data from multiple vendors is compiled in a bid tabulation, reflecting payment terms of net 30 and FOB destination delivery schedules, primarily within New Mexico but also including vendor locations across other states. The available documentation does not contain fully detailed contract sections commonly associated with federal or formal state procurement clauses, such as standardized FAR clauses or Section M evaluation criteria, nor does it specify a formal Statement of Work with measurable performance deliverables. Inspection and acceptance are to occur at the destination with the government responsible for evaluating equipment compliance against general performance criteria tied to commodity codes for frequency data communication equipment and radio instrument testing. Delivery timelines are generally indicated as "As Requested" or four weeks after receipt of order with no fixed contract period specified. Vendor listings and product references are provided for informational purposes without detailed technical or packaging requirements. Additionally, no formal representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status indicators are included in the solicitation documents. Submissions were required in sealed form, with electronic spreadsheets referenced for pricing and accessory details, yet specific submission methods or file format mandates remain unspecified. The solicitation functions primarily as a vehicle to establish a price agreement for procurement of digital microwave radios and related communications equipment to support New Mexico’s statewide information technology infrastructure.
