About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a fiber optic lease to the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority (MWAA). This is an 8(a) sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) for a five-year period consisting of a one-year base term and four one-year option periods. The notice was posted on April 9, 2026, and invites interested parties to demonstrate why competition would be advantageous to the government. The procurement seeks to ensure TSA maintains continuous fiber optic connectivity at its facilities supporting operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport. The requirement encompasses single-mode fiber (SMF) and associated fiber cross connections to support TSA communications infrastructure.
Interested contractors must submit detailed technical capabilities and evidence demonstrating their ability to meet the government's needs and why competition would be beneficial by April 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to Siobhan Lawson at Siobhan.Lawson@tsa.dhs.gov. Responses must be provided electronically at no cost or obligation to the government and are limited to a maximum of two pages. The submission must include clear and convincing evidence that competition would provide advantages to the government, supported by detailed technical capabilities and relevant qualifications. While this notice targets MWAA for the award, the TSA retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the contract action based on the responses received. All information submitted will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether competition is warranted under the sole source justification.
