About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to Solicitation 1240BF26Q0004 issued by USDA-FS CSA Northwest 4 located in Portland, Oregon. The amendment extends the offer due date to July 10, 2026 at 1200 Alaska time and modifies the contract scope by updating quantities and item descriptions for CLINs 0001 through 0049, while adding 36 new CLINs (0050 through 0085). The period of performance is July 15, 2026 through August 20, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 334118 for networking and telecommunications equipment and supplies.

The solicitation requires fiber optic cable in various lengths (250LF, 150LF, and 100LF), fiber optic components including enclosures, panels, patch cables, and transceivers, Ethernet patch cables in multiple lengths and colors, pulling equipment such as fish tape and cable rods, poly line, and shipping services to nine separate locations in Southeast Alaska (Sitka, Juneau, Craig, Petersburg, Wrangell, Yakutat, Hoonah, Ketchikan/Hyder, and Thorne Bay). The government clarified in the question and answer section that equal to or better alternative manufacturers are acceptable if they meet or exceed the technical specifications outlined in the salient characteristics, and that inspection and acceptance must occur at individual Ranger District destinations rather than a centralized staging hub. The government intends to self-perform equipment installation with no planned follow-up solicitation for installation services.

1. Request for an Individual NMR Waiver: This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 334118, which triggers the SBA Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR).

However, the salient characteristics specify proprietary, brand-name hardware from large business manufacturers (such as Cisco Meraki and TRENDnet) for which no active SBA class waiver exists under this specific NAICS code. Because small business primes cannot manufacture these items domestically, we kindly request that the Agency submit a request to the SBA for an Individual Contract Waiver. Providing an individual waiver for this solicitation will allow qualified small business Primes to legally source these specific brand-name components from large business distributors, maximizing competitive, compliant small business participation.

1. Response: The government added equal to salient characteristics. This requirement was not meant to be brand name only.

2. Product Specifications: Are alternative manufacturers permissible if they meet or exceed the exact technical capabilities and dimensions outlined in the Salient Characteristics document, or is this a strict brand-name-only requirement for Cisco Meraki and TRENDnet components?

1. Yes, the government will allow equal to or better.

3. Delivery Schedule Coordination: Given the strict prohibition on partial shipments across the 9 distinct island locations in Southeast Alaska, will the Government allow for a single, centralized inspection at a primary mainland staging hub prior to final barge/freight delivery, or must inspection and acceptance occur exclusively at each individual Ranger District destination?

1. Due to the challenges of shipping to the locations the government requires inspection and acceptance at the individual locations.

4. This notice appears to be limited to an equipment and supplies purchase solicitation with no requests for installation, implementation, or sustainment services following the parts acquisition.

Can you please advise if any or all of the follow up service-related functions are anticipated to be self-performed by USDA-FS personnel or if they will eventually be requested through a secondary follow-up solicitation?

1. The government intends on installing purchased equipment itself. There is currently no plan to have a request for follow-up installation services.
