SS-ISS-25-066
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of Fiscal Service’s Information and Security Services (ISS), intends to make award on a sole source basis to Community Antenna Service Inc. ("CAS Cable"), 1525 Dupont Road, Parkersburg, WV 26101 for Single Mode Dedicated Fiber Optic Cable Maintenance and Leasing Services support at Fiscal Service’s offices in Parkersburg, WV.
The proposed contractor currently owns the dedicated single mode dark fiber cables that are already installed at the designated locations. These preexisting cables are available for lease. Other contractors would have to install new lines dedicated specifically for the use of the Government, which would increase cost dramatically. The Product Service Code (PSC) is W060, and the service locations are: 320 Avery Street, 257 Bosley Industrial Park Drive, and 200 3rd Street in Parkersburg, WV 26101. The Service Provider shall maintain six (6) duplex strands of dedicated single mode dark fiber cables at each of these locations, with the following specifications:
• All fiber shall be 9 microns in diameter and shall be optimized for a wavelength of 1310 nm.
• All fiber strands shall support dense wave division optical multiplexing.
• All fiber strands shall be terminated with ST Connectors at Service Provider-provided fiber distribution boxes.
• All splicing of fiber and terminating of pre-manufactured pigtail connectors shall be done in such a manner as to result in a connection that has no more than a 0.2db loss end-to-end.
The Service Provider shall maintain all fiber connections, end-to-end and including all Service Provider-provided equipment, within acceptable tolerance as defined by ANSI/TIA-568.3-E. The Service Provider's maintenance personnel shall respond to requests for remedial maintenance twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. The Service Provider shall provide help desk support 24 hours a day and 7 days a week (24 x 7) for receiving, reporting, and resolving trouble calls from Fiscal Service.
The period of performance for the purchase order/contract is anticipated to be one (1) 12-month base period with four (4) 12-month option periods.
NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will not be accepted.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency.
Fiscal Service will consider responses received no later than 07/31/2025 at 3:30pm EST. Responses shall be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, SS-ISS-25-066 Attn: BS/RN.
Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows your company is capable of providing the requirement described in this notice. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no written response is received by the aforementioned deadline that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, Fiscal Service will make award on a sole source basis to CAS Cable.
