The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking vendors capable of providing these electrical components with delivery projected for mid-July 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and the government may further restrict competition to specific socio-economic small business categories depending on market research responses. The current contractor uses Okonite cable, and any proposed 15kV cable must be compatible with this existing system. Specific quantity requirements include 1,200 feet of bare copper wire, 2,700 feet of high-voltage cable that must be delivered in lengths of at least 900 feet each, and 1,000 feet total of THWN-2 wire in four separate 250-foot segments.
