Digital Radio Upgrade

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is procuring equipment and services to upgrade its Land Mobile Radio systems to meet current industry standards and extend network coverage to include its Regional Offices. This procurement involves replacing existing portable radios with units capable of AES encryption, acquiring all necessary ancillary equipment, and implementing system upgrades. The USPTO will award a firm fixed price purchase order to Federal Radio Service Corp. under FAR Part 13.5, following an approved Sole Source Justification. The work will be performed over a three-month period from the award date, and the contract falls under NAICS code 517312 for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite). As the USPTO is exempt from the Competition in Contracting Act due to the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act, this acquisition will be conducted without a competitive solicitation or public request for proposals. Communications regarding this notice must be submitted in writing to the designated Contract Specialist, Jennifer Springer, or the Contracting Officer, Claire Rotruck. The contract activities will take place in Alexandria, Virginia, aligning with the USPTO’s main office location. This approach ensures a streamlined contract process directed at meeting the USPTO’s upgrade needs efficiently and securely.
