About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting quotes for a comprehensive JWICS (Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System) server installation at Ellsworth Air Force Base for the 28th Bomb Wing. This two-phase procurement involves Phase I installation of new network node router/switch infrastructure equipment with Cisco hardware and associated training, and Phase II deployment of a three-cluster virtual system supporting 150 VMware workstations and 14 virtual servers with specific technical configurations including 3 vCPU, 32GB RAM, and 512GB storage per virtual desktop. All contractors must possess Top Secret/SCI security clearance, submit both technical and price proposals including detailed installation plans and equipment specifications, and ensure all equipment is new, TAA-compliant, and compatible with existing Solar Winds Network Monitoring Software. The government will evaluate proposals on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis, awarding to vendors who meet all minimum technical requirements while providing fair and reasonable pricing. Questions were accepted until July 17, 2025, with final quotes due by 1500 MST on August 15, 2025, submitted via email to designated Air Force contracting personnel.
This procurement is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside with a NAICS code of 541519 and a size standard of $34 million, though specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation. The project timeline spans 180-365 calendar days from contract award, with work restricted to weekday hours between 0800-1600, and includes comprehensive training requirements to enable government personnel to independently operate and maintain the new infrastructure. Performance will occur at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, specifically at buildings supporting the Intelligence and Military Personnel Flight operations. The virtual server infrastructure must support future network growth for the B-21 program while maintaining strict security protocols including background checks and restricted base access for all contractor personnel. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and the government intends to make award without conducting exchanges with vendors after quote submission.
