About this opportunity
The Maine Army National Guard seeks to furnish, install, test, and commission a Trade Agreements Act-compliant Distributed Antenna System (DAS) headend/controller solution at Joint Force Headquarters, Camp Chamberlain in Augusta, Maine, with proposals due August 17, 2026. This is a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside at 100 percent.
Place of performance is Augusta, Maine. The current Westell system has failed, and the replacement must deliver robust 5G and LTE cellular coverage for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile across approximately 100,000 square feet, integrating with existing passive infrastructure. The contractor must conduct a post-award site survey; submit detailed system design; obtain all necessary carrier rebroadcast agreements and FCC registrations prior to system activation; perform post-installation grid testing to validate compliance with approved commercial carrier standards; and provide a one-year warranty. The NAICS code is 517112, Wireless Telecommunications Carriers. The procurement is Firm-Fixed-Price under Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection, with evaluation based on technical approach and system design, and testing, commissioning, and carrier integration, each assessed on acceptable/unacceptable basis. Past performance is evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable. Period of performance is 120 calendar days from award (September 9 to January 13, 2027, per Amendment 0003). Service Contract Act wage determination 2015-4009 (Revision 34, effective June 25, 2026) applies, covering seven Maine counties. All contractor personnel must complete AT-OPSEC and iWatch training after award but before site work. A site visit occurred on July 15, 2026; no further pre-proposal site visits are available. Amendments 0001 through 0004 have issued clarifications and extended the deadline from the original August 3 date.
