About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking network hardware upgrades for the 14th Communications Squadron at Columbus Air Force Base to modernize critical communications infrastructure supporting 131 building nodes and 2,700 users across NIPR and SIPR networks. The procurement involves completing the remaining 20% of hardware needed for a modern network fabric mesh topology, including Juniper Layer 2 and Layer 3 QFX devices, Apstra network management software, and five years of support and sustainment services. The technical requirements specify multi-vendor management solutions supporting VMware NSX-T, automation capabilities, configuration rollback, zero trust provisioning, and STIG compliance standards. Materials include various network components such as QSFP28 transceivers, direct attach copper cables, switches, power supplies, SFP modules, and comprehensive support and licensing packages. The solicitation was posted on August 19, 2025, with responses due by September 2, 2025, providing approximately two weeks for proposal preparation.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334118 for Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing. The contract performance will take place at Columbus Air Force Base in Columbus, Mississippi, specifically at the Network Control Center facility. The project timeline establishes a 30-day period of performance following contract award, indicating an urgent need to address the current network's high latency and connection issues. Required deliverables include installation records, work schedules, status reports, meeting minutes, and comprehensive test plans and reports, all subject to government acceptance and approval. The procurement aims to complete the network infrastructure modernization that will enable streamlined performance, increased user access, secure communications, and optimized data flow for base operations and mission support.
