Request for Quotation Please Note: This is Not an Order Date: August 18, 2025 To: Authorized Interested Vendors Federal From: Bureau of Investigation/ Finance Division Subject: Request for Quotation (RFQ) for CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES FOR THE FBI ACADEMY Solicitation Number: RFQ 15F06725Q0000512 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Academy Complex currently utilizes cable television signal services supporting 825 digital and 219 analog drops. To ensure uninterrupted service, the FBI requires an experienced provider capable of maintaining consistent signal quality and channel availability throughout the duration of the contract. The FBI requires flexibility in its television signal services to accommodate evolving needs within the Academy Complex. As such, the ability to expand or discontinue services as operational demands change is essential. The Bureau will evaluate a range of delivery options, including cable, optical, and Internet Protocol (IP) television (TV), to ensure optimal performance and adaptability throughout the contract period. In additional to cable channel service, the FBI currently uses channel blocking modules for two television channels (currently 21 and 92) on the existing CATV service and will continue to require the ability. The new service provider shall identify two Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) channels for FBI use. Instead of channels 21 and92, the provider may also propose two unused or blocked channels. Contractors interested in competing for this effort may participate by submitting quotes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this RFQ.

7.0 System for Award Management (SAM) Requirement

Please ensure your firm is registered in System for Award Management (SAM) - All vendors must be registered in SAM, effective July 29, 2012, to receive government contracts. The FBI utilizes a financial system that has a direct interface with the SAM. If any current FBI vendor data conflicts with SAM Data, the information contained in SAM may override our current information. Please ensure that your company’s SAM information is updated and accurate. This includes: TIN, EFT, DUNs, addresses and contact information. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be what the FBI uses to process payment to your organization.

8.0 Requirements for Procurement of Critical Assets

Every effort must be made to ensure that supplies are provided and integrated and services are performed using sound security components, practices, and procedures. Acquisition of supplies or services from concerns under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) or of supplies developed, manufactured, maintained, or modified by concerns under FOCI (any or all of which shall be referred to herein as "Use of FOCI source") is of serious concern and must be approved prior to contract award. Approval decisions will be made on a case by case basis after the source or technology has been identified by the Offeror and subjected to a risk assessment. The risk assessment process will vary depending on the acquisition type and proposed use of a FOCI source, available risk mitigation measures, and the information/justification provided by the Offeror.

Any Offeror responding to this Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), or Sealed Bid acknowledges the Government's requirements to secure services or equipment from firms which are not under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), or where any FOCI, in the opinion of the Government, adversely impacts on National Security or security requirements. The Offeror understands and agrees that the Government retains the right to reject any response to this RFP, RFQ, or Sealed Bid made by the Offeror, without any further recourse by or explanation to the Offeror, if the FOCI for that Offeror is determined by the Government to be an unacceptable security risk.

Risk assessments will be on a case by case basis and will be used to determine whether the use of a FOCI source poses an unacceptable security risk. If an unacceptable security risk is determined, the Government retains the right to reject the use of a FOCI source or to require that certain risk mitigation measures be taken by the Offeror. Similarly, the Government retains the unilateral right to approve the use of a FOCI source when the risk assessment indicates that such use would be in the Governments' best interests. If the use of a FOCI source is not approved, no classified information will be disclosed to the Offeror as part of the Government's rationale for non-approval. The Offeror (prime and subs) may not seek reimbursement from the Government for any costs associated with responding to this RFP, RFQ or Sealed Bid, as a result of a FOCI non approval decision.

9.0 Evaluation Factors

All terms and conditions listed in this RFQ trump any information listed on the vendors quote. All invoices will be submitted to an email address given to the awardee at the time of the award. Any requested documentation not included with the original submission shall disqualify the quote from further consideration.
