About this opportunity

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a division of the Department of Energy's Office of Science, is seeking qualified service providers for cellular network technologies and related support services. The Sources Sought Notice aims to identify companies capable of providing comprehensive consultation, installation, support, monitoring, and maintenance for cellular Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and public safety Bi-Direction Antenna (BDA) systems. Interested contractors must demonstrate experience with private cellular networks, DAS/BDA systems maintenance and installation, and established working relationships with major wireless providers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. The procurement will follow a two-step process, beginning with this Sources Sought Notice to qualify potential vendors, followed by a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for selected sources. Responses to this notice are due by January 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with submissions accepted via email to ASP.Responses@nrel.gov or by physical mail to NREL's Golden, Colorado location.

The opportunity is not currently designated for a small business set-aside, with the final determination pending responses received. The anticipated contract structure includes a 12-month base period with four potential one-year option periods, with a total ceiling value of $5 million and historical annual usage averaging $275,000. Work will be performed across multiple NREL locations, including the South Table Mountain Campus in Golden, Colorado, the Flatirons Campus in Arvada, Colorado, and the Alaska Campus in Fairbanks. The NAICS code for this opportunity was recently amended from 238210 to 541618, which corresponds to the "Other Management Consulting Services" category. Potential contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive cellular network solutions, including maintaining and upgrading existing systems, constructing new infrastructure, and offering strategic consulting for future cellular networking projects.
