About this opportunity
The 82nd Contracting Squadron, Sheppard Air Force Base, announced a Notice of Intent to Award sole source, single-award status to Boingo Wireless, Inc. for commercial Wi-Fi BPA services, with an anticipated award date of August 17, 2026 and a response deadline of August 12, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under 41 USC 1901 authority, supported by an approved Single Source Justification; no competitive solicitation will be issued.
The BPA addresses high-bandwidth, low-latency commercial broadband and wireless infrastructure products supporting digitized training operations at Sheppard AFB. The five-year agreement has a maximum ceiling of $9 million. Boingo Wireless is the sole source capable of continuing existing Wi-Fi services because it maintains proprietary physical network infrastructure installed throughout approximately 70 buildings on base and operates cybersecurity controls meeting NIST 800-53 standards. Market research confirmed no other sources possess the physical pathways, authorized access, or compatible equipment to interface with the existing infrastructure without prohibitive costs and service disruption. This is a follow-on to a previous BPA (FA302021A0006) awarded in FY21.
This notice is not a solicitation; no solicitation package will be issued. Contractors wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit written capability documentation supporting their ability to provide the services by August 12, 2026, via email to jamie.long.7@us.af.mil and carri.dulaney.7@us.af.mil. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether future competitive procurement is in the Government's interest. NAICS 517111; PSC 7G21.
