Motorola wins $15.8 mln Baghdad police radios deal
06.02.03, 6:09 PM ET

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) -
Mobile phone maker Motorola Inc.
(nyse: MOT - news - people) won a
$15.8 million contract to supply 3,000
portable and vehicular-mounted mobile
radios and base stations to the
Baghdad Police Force, the U.S. military
said on Monday.

The Defense Information Systems
Agency (DISA) said Motorola, based in
Schaumburg, Illinois, won the
fixed-price contract after a competition
between vendors that supply radios
and other telecommunications
equipment to the U.S. government.

The contract covers the purchase,
distribution and installation of the
radios, base stations, repeaters,
towers and spare parts over the next
four months, DISA said.

Iraq's U.S.-run administration last week
said it was recruiting more police
officers to add to the 7,000-strong force
now operating in Baghdad, a city of five
million people normally served by up to
40,000 police officers.

U.S. forces captured Baghdad on April
9, but the Iraqi police force collapsed
and the city has been fraught with
chaos, lawlessness and looting since
then.
