Information is sought concerning all parts related to the radios and vehicle adapters, which may include: cables, handsets, headsets, antennas, switches, knobs, pouches, batteries, chassis, chassis housing, amplifiers, handset cradles, and Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA). Interested sources are requested to submit recommendations on sources and availability of the information and parts listed above. If the interested sources have suggestions on the post warranty sustainability for these radios, please submit the recommendations and describe your ability to complete your recommendations.
