How to respond to the Army’s Motorola Two-Way Radio RFI
What the Army plans to buy
The Department of the Army plans to buy 34,950 VHF portable radios, 2,100 UHF portable radios, and 10,690 VHF mobile radios for a Foreign Military Sales case.
This is a request for information, not a stated open competition. The Army says it intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Motorola Solutions, the product manufacturer. Other businesses may use the RFI to identify their interest and describe their capability.
Deadline and what it means
Capability information is due November 9, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST. The listing gives a deadline of 3:00 p.m. ET, while the description states 4:00 p.m. EST. Because those times conflict, confirm the applicable deadline with the Army contact before submitting.
The notice describes an intended sole-source award and invites interested parties to provide information; it does not describe this as a request for priced bids.
Who this opportunity may suit
This notice is most relevant to businesses that can supply or support the specified Motorola VHF and UHF portable radios and VHF mobile radios, or can provide concrete information about their capability to meet the requirement.
The Army identifies Motorola Solutions as the original equipment manufacturer and intended sole-source awardee. A response should therefore clearly explain the respondent’s relevant capability rather than assume the notice is an open procurement.

Prepare a focused capability response
Address the radio types and quantities in the notice directly. State what your business can provide and support with clear, relevant evidence, such as experience or product information, without claiming capabilities you cannot substantiate.
Since the deadline is stated differently in the listing and description, seek clarification early. Leave time to check the submission instructions in the original notice and confirm that your response has been sent as directed.
