Acquisition Support

Providing objective support for the acquisition process

Issues and Challenges

• Ensuring an unbiased, competitive process that results in sound solutions at fair prices
• Developing Request for Proposals (RFP) documentation that accurately reflects user requirements and system performance specifications
• Ensuring strict adherence to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and procedures
• Documenting each step of the acquisition process to promote traceability and accountability

Land mobile radio (LMR) systems have typically had long lifecycles compared with other networks and technologies. Procuring these systems often requires specialized expertise, knowledgeable in current technologies, products, and service arrangements. RFP documentation must be complete, accurate, and unambiguous to ensure sound systems designs that meet user requirements.
