Red Rock Fire Station Wireless Internet

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region is seeking a wireless internet service contract for the Red Rock Fire Station, with a solicitation issued on April 28, 2025. The primary objective is to replace an existing unreliable microwave service with a new internet circuit providing a minimum of 250 megabytes symmetrical bandwidth, supporting 29 subnets and 6 total IP addresses. Proposals are due by May 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time, with submissions required to be sent to contract specialists Carey Grund and Amanda Cline-Rispress. The contract will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, requiring offerors to submit a technical narrative demonstrating their capability to meet the Statement of Work requirements. Potential vendors must provide a comprehensive technical approach and a firm fixed price for services, with all pre-solicitation questions having been due by May 2, 2025.

The solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 517112 for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers, with a size standard of 1,500 employees. The contract will have a base year with installation and four additional one-year option years, with an anticipated start date of June 1, 2025, and potential exercise dates of April 1st in subsequent years. Equipment must be mounted on an existing grounded tower and support fiber or copper cable, with installation to be completed within 30 days of order receipt. The service location is in the Southern Nevada District, where the current Lumen MPLS circuit provides only 50 Mbps, and data usage during fire season (May through October) could exceed 1TB. The project aims to support fire and law enforcement personnel by providing reliable internet connectivity, with the equipment needing to accommodate existing infrastructure including fiber and copper CAT 5e/6 cabling.
