About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command is seeking a contractor to engineer, design, furnish, install, and test a new Giant Voice emergency notification system at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas. This comprehensive project requires replacing seventeen existing Whelen omni-directional siren speaker arrays with a modern system that provides emergency voice alerts, tones, and pre-recorded notifications across the base using existing VHF radio infrastructure. The contractor must deliver a turnkey solution including PC-based central controller consoles, digital operation features, solar-powered omni-directional speakers, and integration with the base's AtHoc emergency notification system. The evaluation will follow a best-value source selection process where technical approach and past performance are weighted significantly more important than price, with offers evaluated as technically acceptable or unacceptable. Following Amendment 3, quotes are due September 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT via email submission, with an optional site visit scheduled for September 15, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 800 employees. The contract structure includes a firm-fixed-price base year for system installation and four option years for ongoing maintenance and service, though specific award values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents. The project requires replacing all seventeen existing siren locations across Dyess Air Force Base, with most towers having commercial power except for one location at Ray Rangel that may require solar power capabilities. Performance will take place in Abilene, Texas, with the contractor required to coordinate installation activities within 30 days of award, though full system installation across all locations is expected to take several months. The solicitation includes comprehensive requirements for technical documentation, onsite training, warranty coverage, and ongoing system maintenance throughout the contract period.
