Glacier BAY radio repeater replacement

The National Park Service Alaska Region is procuring radio repeater replacement services for Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve through solicitation 140P9725Q0047. The project involves replacing repeater components at five remote sites: Althorp, Beartrack, Deception Hill, Idaho, and Jackie Point, including UHF/VHF repeater modules, duplexers, antennas, and associated hardware. The contractor will be responsible for site visits, equipment verification, transportation of components via helicopter, installation of new equipment, and potential shelter replacement at some locations. The evaluation will be based on three factors: experience with remote site installations and Alaska projects, qualifications of project personnel, and pricing. The original quote deadline was July 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM Alaska Time, with a performance period from July 10, 2025, to July 31, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334220 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract structure includes a base bid for Althorp and Beartrack sites, with five optional line items for additional site replacements, shelter deliveries, and debris removal. The project requires helicopter transportation with an estimated two to three flights per site, and the contractor must provide all tools, equipment, and labor while the National Park Service supplies specific radio and solar equipment. Work must be completed between a site visit in September 2025 and July 31, 2026, with all performance taking place at remote locations within Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve in Alaska. The government will evaluate offers by adding the total price for all options to the base bid price and award to the offeror providing the best value.
