Acquisition Strategy Summary
Purchasing cell phones is a strategic business phase that will improve Calum Tech
International's (CTI) ability to communicate internally and externally with other strategic partners
and stakeholders. As CTI is a government entity, it requires appropriate equipment and
technologies to ensure data security, compatibility with current systems, and seamless
interaction. Therefore, this procurement will enhance operational efficiency and will prove
beneficial for the company's ability to maintain productivity to meet its goal. The Acquisitions
Strategy has been developed to serve the unique needs of the enterprise while remaining
consistent with the policies and procedures set forth by the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR).
Proposed Acquisition Strategy
The acquisition strategy developed for this requirement is the Trade-Off Method in accordance
with FAR Part 15. This approach allows proposals from vendors to be assessed based on
technical merit and cost allowing for the meaningful selection of solutions. There are certainly
technical specifications such as battery lifetime, device security, and compatibility with existing
systems central to the way CTI operates; however, cost is a dominant consideration. For a
entity that is a government agency with high-performing equipment needs, the trade-off strategy
will ensure that the winning vendor is also the least expensive vendor who is able to provide the
required services.

, Vendor Selection Method (FAR Part 15) Tradeoff ( FAR 15.101-1)
For this procurement of cell phones and related services, CTI will utilize the Best Value Tradeoff
source selection process in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. This method is appropriate given
that the requirement includes both standardized devices and variable service components,
where factors beyond price may significantly impact performance and reliability.
Proposals will first be evaluated against CTI’s minimum technical requirements, including—but
not limited to—device compatibility with internal systems, battery performance, baseline security
features, and nationwide 4G/5G coverage. Beyond simple compliance, proposals offering
superior technical features, stronger service reliability, or enhanced customer support may
receive additional merit. While cost will remain an important factor, award will not be based
solely on the lowest price. Instead, CTI will weigh the overall value of each proposal by
considering the tradeoff between technical performance, past performance, and price. This
strategy ensures CTI acquires not only cost-effective solutions but also reliable, secure, and
sustainable services that fully support mission objectives.
Procurement Solicitation Method (FAR Part 15 )
Requesting for vendor submissions will use the Request for Proposal (RFP), which will outline
the detailed technical and performance requirements for the cell phones (Acquisition.Gov,
2025). It will state the warranty and maintenance support, required data plans and coverage,
and minimum hardware and software specifications. With the RFP process, all the qualified
vendors will have a chance to compete as the process allows much transparency. RFP is an
appropriate acquisition method where good technical evaluation is a requirement.
Type of Contract (FAR Part 16)
CTI will utilize a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract for this acquisition. Whith this type of contarct
the price cannot be change is is fixed, despite the contractor's cost experience throughout
