About this file

This document is a solicitation for the construction of a communications center at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Greece. The project will construct a three-story facility housing a communications center, telephone exchange, electronics maintenance shops, and storage. Electrical utilities to be installed include primary and secondary distribution systems, transformers, substation upgrades, telecommunications infrastructure, security systems infrastructure and lighting. The period of performance is approximately 900 days after notice to proceed. The acquisition will result in a firm fixed price design-bid-build contract awarded by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The site is located at NSA Souda Bay.
