Fiber Installation LEMC

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is seeking qualified vendors to upgrade the fiber optic cable (FOC) network at the Letterkenny Munitions Center (LEMC). The government intends to award a commercial, firm-fixed-price supply contract by June 1, 2025, for a comprehensive network infrastructure enhancement. Contractor personnel must possess manufacturer certification in fiber optic installation and have a BICSI RCDD or equivalent professional on staff. Interested vendors are required to be registered in SAM and JCP, and must submit capability statements addressing 11 specific areas by March 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET. The evaluation will focus on technical capabilities, implementation approach, and compliance with the detailed requirements outlined in the request for information.

The contract is not subject to a small business set-aside, though prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the work if such a designation is applied. The project involves installing approximately 103,400 feet of fiber optic cable across 5 loops connecting 122 facilities, along with 62,600 feet of power distribution cabling. The total estimated contract value falls under the NAICS code 237130 with a $45 million size standard, indicating a significant infrastructure investment. The period of performance is 380 calendar days after contract award, with a post-award verification survey required within 30 days. The contractor will be responsible for providing a complete turnkey solution, including all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and services, with a mandatory 5-year warranty on workmanship and materials.
