The intention is to award this contract to Motorola Solutions due to their organization being the sole installer for Motorola Communication Consoles. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Motorola Solutions Inc. is the current IT and communication infrastructure in place within 18 OSS.

Additionally, Motorola Solutions, Inc. has a service depot in place in Japan that is dedicated solely to DOD and federal government customers within the OCONUS J2KLMR Zone. Motorola Solutions Inc. will provide on-site support through the initial warranty period.

Additionally, if this requirement was to be awarded to an authorized Motorola reseller, the installation is still performed by Motorola. It is in the Governments best interest to go directly to the manufacturer.
