Purchases Outside the MSWIN and Master Cellular Agreements

Purchases Outside the MSWIN and Master Cellular Agreements To help achieve its legislated goal of effective wireless communication interoperability throughout the state, the Commission has set price thresholds for the review of wireless initiatives outside these statewide contracts prior to any procurement commitment by the purchasing entity. The Commission encourages all entities to look for opportunities for interoperability with the MSWIN system when considering wireless communication procurements. The MSWIN system is designed to allow the use of any vendor’s P25-compatible radio equipment. The Commission will work with any government body in the state considering radio system purchases to help ensure an appropriate level of interoperability, whether the entity chooses to purchase equipment from the MSWIN Agreement or to purchase P-25 compliant equipment from other vendors and manufacturers. Purchasing thresholds for WCC review and approval of wireless communication purchases are outlined below.
