Hand-Held Wireless Radios and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) for Radio Communication, Cellular Communication, or Hybrid DAS/BDA Systems

The San Diego Unified School District is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to supply and support a comprehensive wireless radio communication system across its various sites, managed by the Integrated Technology Department. The project emphasizes the procurement of Motorola hand-held radios, distributed antenna systems, and bi-directional amplifiers, with a strict requirement that only Motorola equipment be used to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, which currently includes approximately 10,000 Motorola CP200D and Motorola R2 radios. The solicitation is divided into five Lots, with four (Lots 1-4) to be awarded together based on a best-value evaluation considering price and other factors, while the fifth Lot is optional and may be awarded separately. Proposers must be Motorola Authorized Platinum Channel Partners and submit the necessary certification to qualify. The contract, with a size estimated between five and fifteen million dollars, aims to enhance on-site communication and school safety through reliable wireless and cellular systems, including hybrid DAS/BDA configurations. The solicitation, identified as SV25-0625-37, was posted on May 8, 2025, with a response deadline of May 22, 2025. The primary contact for inquiries is Shasta Boss, reachable via email or phone. The project underscores the importance of vendor qualifications, equipment compatibility, and comprehensive support to ensure the district's communication needs are met efficiently. Supporting documentation includes IRS Form W-9s for tax compliance, emphasizing the importance of proper tax identification and certification procedures for participating vendors.
