About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary issued a notice of intent to sole source Nokia Federal Solutions Inc. for Core and Radio Engineering services supporting CRAIN Lab integration, testing, and research of 5G cellular and Open RAN technologies, with a 15-day response window closing September 11, 2026. The acquisition is authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) on the basis that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Services are performed remotely from Boulder, Colorado during normal business hours (40 hours per week, Mountain Time) for one year, excluding fundamental architecture changes, additional software licenses, third-party device operation, network optimization, and hardware installation.
Competing vendors may submit one-page capability statements refuting the sole-source determination and demonstrating how services can be provided without jeopardizing ongoing projects. Responses are due by September 11, 2026, directed to JBrown4@doc.gov and kpendergast@doc.gov. If no qualified alternative sources are established within the 15-day period, the contract will be awarded to Nokia Federal Solutions Inc. No solicitation package is available.
