Quotes offering "equal" products (including products of the brand name manufacturer other than the one described by the brand name) will be considered if such product is clearly identified in the quote and is determined by the FBI to meet fully the salient characteristics on above products. If offering an equivalent product, the brand name of the equivalent product shall be clearly identified in the quote. Unless visibly identified as an equivalent product, offered items shall be considered as the brand name product referenced in this announcement. The evaluation of quotes and the determination as to the equality of the products shall be the responsibility of the Government and shall be based on information provided by the Offeror.

The requested software and equipment will be used to predict and validate RF coverage of the Radio System Development Unit (RSDU) Land Mobile Radio System (LMRS) and its secure wireless system.

EDX Signal Pro Software is the same software used by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Wireless Management Office (WMO). As the FBI has assumed responsibility for the LMRS for the DOJ and its components, using the same software allows the FBI to supply both system frequency requests/RF coverage analysis information in a consistent format. The requested equipment shall be delivered 30 days ARO, FOB Destination: Quantico, VA, 22135. The contractor shall extend to the Government full coverage under a normal commercial warranty.
