About this opportunity
The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) at Arnold Air Force Base, under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center, is seeking qualified contractors to design, engineer, furnish, install, and test single-mode fiber optic cable infrastructure connecting the U.S. Army Adelphi Laboratory Center in Maryland to AEDC Operating Location B at White Oak. The project requires a comprehensive turnkey solution including site visit assessment, labor for installation, fiber optic cable hardware, and equipment rental, with work performed in compliance with TIA/EIA and BICSI telecommunications standards. Key requirements include conducting an independent site visit to finalize design estimates, obtaining necessary permits and environmental compliance documentation, performing rigorous testing including OTDR and bi-directional testing at specified wavelengths, and delivering as-built documentation in AutoCAD and Visio formats. This is a Sources Sought Notice issued for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Interested parties must submit responses electronically to Contract Specialist Leslie R. McGowan at leslie.mcgowan@us.af.mil by April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, including company information, business size designation, CAGE Code, capability statements, and total estimated pricing.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting qualified small business contractors. The project involves installation of approximately 12,408 feet of 48-strand single-mode microfiber optic cable through existing duct systems, with four separate contract line items covering the phases of work. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. While specific budget information is not disclosed in this sources sought phase, the government will use market research responses to determine the procurement method, which may result in sole source acquisition, partial or full small business set-aside, or full and open competition. The project timeline indicates work should be completed approximately ten calendar days after final project completion, with normal work hours applying, though up to fifteen percent of work may occur outside standard hours with advance approval.
