About this opportunity
The Air Force Air Mobility Command, through the 87th Communications Squadron at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, seeks engineering, design, furnishing, installation, and testing of a turnkey Giant Voice emergency alert system, with proposals due September 22, 2026, and questions due September 11. This is a 100% small business set-aside (NAICS 334310, Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing, under 750 employees).
Place of performance is Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, across four base areas: McGuire, Dix, Ranges, and Lakehurst. The project involves replacement or retrofit of 29 of 42 existing outdoor Giant Voice poles with new PC-based central controller stations, Motorola APX4500 radios with 256-bit encryption, and integration with the existing BlackBerry AtHoc alert system to deliver emergency messaging, intelligible voice, tones, and pre-recorded alerts. Contractor personnel working in secure command post areas require active Secret security clearances on Day 1; the government will not initiate or fund clearance processing. All contractor personnel accessing JB-MDL must undergo background checks and obtain Installation Access Passes; Entry Authority Lists are due by September 2, 2026 at 1400 hours. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 9, 2026 at 1000 hours.
Period of performance is a single firm-fixed-price contract not to exceed 180 calendar days from award. Payment is a single lump sum upon 100% completion and final system acceptance; no progress or milestone payments are permitted. Davis-Bacon Act and Service Contract Labor Standards prevailing wage requirements apply (Burlington and Ocean Counties, New Jersey). Evaluation uses partial tradeoff methodology, weighting technical acceptability and past performance confidence significantly higher than price. Technical proposals are limited to 10 pages (excluding resumes, cut sheets, and past-performance questionnaires). Contractors must submit 3–5 past-performance questionnaires demonstrating recent and relevant experience within three years. No deadline extensions are available due to fiscal year-end funding constraints.
