The Air Education and Training Command (AETC) of the U.S. Air Force awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Bowhead Communication Services LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business, for comprehensive base telecommunications services at Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The 5-year, $60.3 million contract, which was competitively awarded as an 8(a) set-aside, covers a broad range of telecommunications and infrastructure services. This includes operating and maintaining the base's Cisco VoIP network, fiber optic systems, and related equipment, as well as providing various cabling, audiovisual, and security camera installations to support the Air Force's flight training programs and other critical missions at Altus AFB.
Under this IDV contract, AETC has issued multiple delivery orders to Bowhead for specific tasks such as replacing set-top boxes, implementing camera systems, upgrading audiovisual equipment, and performing design and installation of structured cabling and outside plant fiber optic infrastructure. The contracts are firm-fixed-price and range in value from $16,000 to over $700,000. While some were awarded as 8(a) set-asides, many of the delivery orders were unrestricted awards, highlighting Bowhead's technical capabilities and past performance in delivering telecommunications solutions to the U.S. Air Force.
