This is a Request for Information (RFI) for Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services at Edwards Air Force Base. The document serves as market research to identify potential vendors capable of delivering base-wide IPTV services and does not constitute a commitment to issue a future Request for Proposal.

Respondents must address five key requirement categories: (1) Service Provisioning—delivering both paid subscription television services and on-demand programming; (2) Network & Distribution—broadcasting IPTV signals through broadband or similar networks with necessary infrastructure for reliable base-wide distribution; (3) Infrastructure & Expansion—designing a scalable system that integrates with pre-existing broadband infrastructure; (4) Alternative Delivery Methods—if proposing satellite or similar alternatives, detailing installation infrastructure requirements, site conditions, and associated costs; and (5) Security & Compliance—possessing a mandatory approved Commercial Internet Service Provider Authority to Operate (CISP ATO). Interested parties must submit a capability statement via email to Contracting Officer Tylan McBride (tylan.mcbride.2@us.af.mil, 527-2704) or Secondary Point of Contact Tammie Umsted (tammie.umsted@us.af.mil, 275-2539) no later than [Insert Time] on [Insert Date].

Request for Information (RFI)
Subject: Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Services for Edwards Air Force Base (AFB)
1. Introduction & Purpose (BLUF)
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research to identify potential sources capable of providing base-wide Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services at Edwards AFB. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future.
2. Background
Edwards AFB requires a comprehensive IPTV solution to deliver television programming to various organizations across the installation. Currently, a pre-existing broadband infrastructure exists on the installation. The Government is exploring solutions that can leverage this existing infrastructure, provide room for future expansion, or introduce alternative delivery methods (such as satellite), provided they meet all operational and security requirements.
3. Scope & Requirements
The Government is seeking industry input on solutions capable of meeting the following baseline requirements:
Requirement Category
Description of Required Capability
Service Provisioning
Provide comprehensive IPTV services, including both paid subscription television services (e.g., standard cable television channels) and on-demand television programming.
Network & Distribution
Broadcast the IPTV signal through a broadband or similar network. The solution must include the necessary infrastructure to receive the broadcast signal and distribute it reliably to various organizations across the base.
Infrastructure & Expansion
The system must be scalable and have room for future expansion. Offerors should address how their solution integrates with the pre-existing broadband infrastructure.
Alternative Delivery Methods
If proposing a satellite service or similar alternative, the solution must outline the required installation of infrastructure and other components (e.g., satellite dishes). Respondents must detail the conditions necessary for successful installation and identify potential additional costs associated with this infrastructure.
Security & Compliance
MANDATORY: Potential offerors must possess an approved Commercial Internet Service Provider Authority to Operate (CISP ATO) to be considered viable for this requirement.
4. Information Requested from Industry
Interested parties are requested to submit a capability statement addressing their ability to meet the requirements outlined above. Responses should specifically address the following:
1. Company Overview: Name, CAGE code, UEI, and business size/socioeconomic status.
2. Technical Approach: A brief description of the proposed IPTV solution (broadband
vs. satellite), including how the system will receive and broadcast signals across Edwards AFB.
3. Infrastructure Integration: How the solution will utilize the existing broadband infrastructure or what new infrastructure (and associated costs/site conditions) would be required.
4. Scalability: How the proposed system accommodates future expansion.
5. Compliance Verification: Confirmation of an active, approved CISP ATO.
5. Submission Instructions
Please fill in the applicable dates and contact information prior to release.
Responses to this RFI should be submitted via email to the Primary Point of Contact (POC) no later than [Insert Time] on [Insert Date].
