Background Information:
The Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Team Task Force 2 needs to purchase Mission Critical Radios in order
to have interoperability capability with other municipalities during deployments. This would enable the City of
Miami and USAR Task Force 2 personnel and/or team members to deploy and work safely in response to any
catastrophe that might occur. The Motorola Radios needed by USAR fall under the product line of "Mission
Critical Solutions", which are geared at first responders, public safety, government...etc. As such, these radios
are sold exclusively by Motorola Solutions Direct Sales and Motorola Authorized Dealers will not be
authorized to respond to a competitive solicitation issued by the City. Therefore, issuing a competitive
solicitation (Invitation for Bid) wouldn't be practical for the City.
