About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a civilian agency within the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Special Notice regarding a fiber optic cable lease at the Orlando International Airport (MCO). The agency intends to award a purchase order to the City of Orlando for leasing 21 strands of fiber optic single mode strands to ensure continuous network connectivity for TSA personnel in their occupied airport space. This contract will be structured with a base year and four successive one-year option periods, awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) without full and open competition. The special notice is specifically focused on procuring a critical infrastructure communication capability for the TSA's Office of Information Technology (OIT) Operations and Engineering Division (OED). The procurement will be executed through a sole source method, with the primary location of performance being the Orlando International Airport.
Interested contractors can respond to this notice by submitting detailed technical capabilities that demonstrate their ability to meet the government's needs, with specific submission requirements and constraints. Responses must be electronically submitted to Toshia Rollins (Toshia.N.Rollins@tsa.dhs.gov) by 10:00 am local time on May 23, 2025, and are limited to two pages. The notice emphasizes that while vendors can express interest, the final determination of whether to conduct a competitive procurement remains solely at the government's discretion. The opportunity appears to be set aside under the 8(a) sole source program, which typically provides contracting opportunities for small, disadvantaged businesses. Vendors seeking subcontracting opportunities are advised to contact the Orlando International Airport directly. All submissions must be provided at no cost or obligation to the government, and must present clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government's interests.
