Notice of Intent - Sole Source - CODAN MT4E Radio Repeaters

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection intends to award a sole source contract for CODAN MT4E Radio Repeaters to Daniels Electronics dba Zetron. The CODAN MT4E repeater system is a proprietary technology that represents intellectual property and cannot be outsourced. Zetron is the sole GSA-approved vendor authorized to distribute the CODAN MT4E Ruggedized product. The repeaters are essential for bridging communication gaps in areas with limited cellular coverage. The current Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system requires a specific type of technology, and Codan is presently the only compatible equipment source. Key points to consider: • The contract is for four CODAN MT4E Ruggedized Land Mobile Repeaters and supporting equipment. • The estimated price is $84,592.80. • The CODAN MT4E repeater system has a proven track record of success in areas with challenging topography. • The system demands "plug and play" functionality to ensure agents can operate their radios simply and effectively. • The LMR system utilizes a vote scan system to select the optimal communication towers, and Codan repeaters integrate seamlessly.
