Land Mobile Radio - Subscriber Equipment

The 673d Communications Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson is seeking to upgrade its existing Motorola APX 6000 Land Mobile Radio fleet through a limited sources acquisition targeting either AEG or Ewings as potential contractors. This hardware refresh is essential to replace end-of-life equipment and ensure compatibility with the newly mandated frequencies of the State of Alaska’s upgraded LMR network, which is critical for maintaining uninterrupted communication capabilities across military, joint, and coalition operations. The modernization supports the squadron’s mission to provide reliable communications and emergency response infrastructure for all units stationed at JBER, directly aligning local radio systems with the state’s regional communications backbone to prevent operational disruptions. The acquisition is formalized under the solicitation number LMR_SE with a posting date of July 31, 2026, and a response deadline of August 30, 2026. Classified under NAICS code 334220 for communications equipment manufacturing, the effort is managed by the Department of Defense through the FA5000 673 Cons Lgc office located at JBER, Alaska. Primary point of contact is Robert Hensler, with Hannah Tolbert as the secondary contact, both reachable via provided phone numbers and email addresses. The contract requires delivery and installation of subscriber equipment to be performed at JBER, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and adherence to federal communication standards for defense operations.
