About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command, specifically the 30th Space Communications Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, is seeking a one-year maintenance contract for Ciena Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) data transport equipment. The solicitation requires Ciena Select Support and 30-Day Repair and Return services for operational network infrastructure not currently under warranty, with coverage to expand as additional equipment becomes eligible. Offerors must have technicians certified in Ciena 3926, 5142, and 6500 software, with a minimum of five years of verifiable network systems experience, and all personnel must be U.S. citizens with a Real ID Driver's License. The procurement will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with technical criteria including two past performance citations of circuit migration or network system installation. Potential bidders must submit quotations by April 25, 2025, at 1000 PT via email, with all questions due by April 16, 2025, at 1300 PT.
The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and will be competed openly under NAICS code 541519 with a small business size standard of $34M. The place of performance is Lompoc, California, and the contract period will run from June 7, 2025, to June 6, 2026. While no specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, the maintenance services will cover the entire DWDM data transport equipment inventory at Vandenberg Space Force Base, with an estimated annual value implied by the comprehensive maintenance requirements. The government will collaborate with the selected contractor to develop a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) with monthly performance reporting across four key elements: Quality of Service, Schedule, Business Relations, and Management of Key Personnel. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and Wide Area Work Flow, and the government reserves the right to award no contract if submissions do not meet requirements.
