Description
This justification supports a limited sources acquisition under the Land Mobile Radio Support Equipment (LMR-SE) vehicle for a potential award to either AEG or Ewings. The 673d Communications Squadron (673 CS) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) requires upgrade radios for its Motorola APX 6000 Land Mobile Radio (LMR) fleet. This hardware refresh replaces legacy end-of-life equipment, ensuring JBER's LMR fleet supports the newly assigned frequencies required to operate on the upgraded State of Alaska LMR network.
The 673 CS supports maintenance, communications, and emergency response units across JBER. To maintain warfighter readiness and provide seamless radio frequency (RF) support to Air Force, joint, and coalition partners, JBER’s local equipment must maintain direct compatibility with the state-wide communications backbone. This acquisition is critical to aligning JBER's local fleet with the State of Alaska’s upcoming LMR infrastructure modernization, preventing any disruption to joint and emergency response communications.
