NIPR Network Drops and Multi-Mode (MM) Cable Installation Bldg 15177

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center at Eglin AFB is soliciting installation of CAT6A network drops and multi-mode fiber optic cabling in Building 15177, with the original May 7, 2026 proposal deadline now cancelled and the requirement to be resolicited under a revised NAICS code.

The original solicitation FA282326Q0030 was issued May 1 with proposals due May 7, but was cancelled in its entirety on May 6 due to a material change in technical specifications and NAICS classification. An amendment issued May 4 had shifted the NAICS code from 541519 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) to 238210 (Electrical Contractors), triggering a requirement to resolicitate under the original NAICS 541519 with Service Contract Labor Standards (FAR 22.10) rather than Construction Labor Standards. The Government intends to resolicitate this requirement under a new solicitation number and encourages all previous offerors to monitor SAM.gov.

Place of performance is Eglin AFB, Florida. The scope comprises engineering, furnishing, installation, and testing of 48 CAT6A network drops and two 24-strand multi-mode fiber optic cables in Building 15177, with period of performance May 1 through September 30, 2026. The procurement is a 100% small business set-aside (small business size standard $34 million under the original NAICS). The work must comply with 96th Communications Squadron Cyber Infrastructure Standards and Installation Specifications and includes CAT6A infrastructure deployment, fiber optic cable termination to LC cassettes, 100% verification acceptance testing per OFSTP and TIA standards, and as-built documentation. All work requires FOB Destination shipping with the contractor bearing transportation costs and risks; payment occurs upon completion and acceptance. Active SAM registration and WAWF enrollment are mandatory. Inquiries are directed to Contracting Officer 1st Lt Brooke Socolofsky at brooke.socolofsky@us.af.mil.
