Caco high speed internet to 3 locations

The National Park Service Northeast Region is seeking high-speed fiber optic internet installation and service for three locations at Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) in Massachusetts: the Headquarters in Wellfleet, Salt Pond Visitor Center, and Nauset Ranger Station. The project requires a minimum symmetrical 100Mbps internet service with no data caps, at least 2 static IP addresses, 24x7 technical support, and underground fiber optic installation to minimize site disturbance while complying with all local, state, and federal regulations. The contract objectives include improving network speed, reliability, and security, enhancing the park's Land Mobile Radio system, and supporting cost reduction in IT infrastructure. Offerors will be evaluated on technical approach, past performance, and price, with all non-price factors being approximately equal in importance to price. The original due date for quotes was September 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, though amendments have been issued to clarify requirements and extend deadlines.

Initially structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 517111, the solicitation was later amended to clarify it is unrestricted with no set-aside designation. The contract includes a base installation period from September 26, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with one year of internet service at the Headquarters location, plus four optional one-year periods extending through March 31, 2030, for continued service at all three locations. No current incumbents or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation, though the government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order with multiple line items to a single offeror. The contractor must complete delivery within six months of contract award and coordinate with the National Park Service for potential archaeological monitoring during ground-disturbing work. All work will be performed at the Cape Cod National Seashore facilities in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, with the contractor required to register in SAM.gov and submit invoices through IPP.gov.
