About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command seeks mandatory broadband internet access for nine unaccompanied housing dormitory facilities at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, with proposals due August 28, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside; only small business concerns may compete.
Place of performance is Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, across nine dormitory buildings (402, 406, 407, 418, 419, 421, 903, 904, and 905) serving 728 service members. The contractor must design, install, and operate a completely new, independent broadband network infrastructure—the PWS explicitly prohibits reuse of any existing on-site coaxial, copper, or fiber-optic cabling. Service must deliver 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload with 95% monthly uptime SLA; major outages must be restored within six hours. The contractor must provide dedicated fiber-optic backhaul to each building's Main Distribution Frame, managed Wi-Fi distribution, and 24/7 direct resident support. Seven buildings contain asbestos-containing materials (1950s–1980s construction); two modern structures (419, 421) feature standard drywall construction.
A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 28, 2026, at 0900 EST; failure to attend disqualifies the offeror. Base access coordination must occur by July 24. Questions are due August 4 at 1100 EST. The amendment issued August 12 extends the due date from August 21 to August 28 and adds a revised Performance Work Statement (v4) and Q&A attachment.
The contract structure includes a three-month phase-in period beginning September 30, 2026, followed by twelve months of service (January–September 2027), plus four optional twelve-month renewal periods extending through September 2031. NAICS 517111, Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Evaluation criteria include past performance, technical acceptability, and price; the Government will evaluate lowest-price offers in blocks of three.
