Fire Dept Portable Radios

Metropolitan Community College is soliciting bids for a Fire Department Radio communication system consisting of Motorola APX 6000XE portable radios and associated accessories to be used by students in the Fire Academy program at the Blue River campus in Missouri. The equipment must be ruggedized to perform reliably in high-heat, fire scene conditions and deliver trusted single-band communication capabilities as specified in the Invitation for Bid document. The solicitation, numbered 27-7753, was posted on July 22, 2026, with responses due by August 12, 2026, and all submissions must be made electronically through the Public Purchase portal. Vendors are required to meet the technical specifications outlined in the IFB, with no alternative equipment accepted. Delivery is to be made to the Blue River campus, though no formal delivery timeline, FOB terms, or period of performance is specified. The contracting office is located in Missouri, and Ann Rahmat is the primary point of contact for inquiries. While the NAICS code is listed as 334290 and the agency code is c10711bb, no contract value, pricing details, or payment information is provided, and no specific FAR clauses, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or evaluation factors beyond the mandatory technical requirements are detailed. The award is likely based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method due to the standardized nature of the equipment and the absence of trade-off criteria. Vendors must ensure compliance with the IFB’s technical requirements, but no representations, certifications, socioeconomic status disclosures, or security requirements are included in the solicitation.
