About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is conducting market research for the Ellsworth Air Force Base Electronic Security System (ESS) Standalone Network Implementation, seeking industry input on capabilities to design, configure, test, and implement a new Closed Restricted Network (CRN) for the base-wide ESS. The project involves transitioning from the current NIPRNET-supported system to a standalone network using TAA-compliant Cisco layer 3 managed switches, single mode fiber optic cables, and Cisco DNA Center with cybersecurity measures compliant with DoD Risk Management Framework and Security Technical Implementation Guides. Contractors must perform comprehensive site surveys, develop detailed implementation plans, conduct testing protocols, and provide training for up to six base personnel including communications and Security Forces alarm technicians. The Sources Sought Notice requests company capabilities, lead time estimates, and business classification information to assess market competitiveness. Responses to this market research are due by 1630 hrs Mountain Standard Time on August 11, 2025.
This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is classified under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, and no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The project requires 10% equipment sparring for all procured hardware and mandates that all work be conducted exclusively on Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota under strict security and access protocols. The desired completion timeline is 8 months from contract award, with deliverables including comprehensive testing through Pre-Installation Test and Checkout and System Operation and Verification Test phases. The scope encompasses base-wide ESS network infrastructure requiring adherence to various Air Force and NIST cybersecurity standards throughout implementation.
