This is market research under FAR Part 10, not a binding solicitation. The scope requires installation of four 16-horn speaker stacks with associated equipment, one Motorola brand repeater, and single horn speakers at three base entry gates (West Gate, South Gate, and Roy Gate). The contractor must furnish new utility poles and power infrastructure, remove existing poles and equipment within 50 feet of new installations, and coordinate with Hill AFB Radio Shop to maximize audio coverage. All equipment must meet SiRcom brand specifications for Giant Voice hardware and Motorola brand for radios and repeaters to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure. The system must provide intelligible voice coverage at 50 dB and tone coverage at 80 dB at 700 yards from 16-stack horn locations, operate in ambient temperatures from minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and withstand winds of 70 knots with gusts up to 100 knots. Equipment cabinets must be walk-up serviceable (maximum 6 feet height), environmentally sealed, securable with integrated locking systems, and equipped with intrusion detection systems reporting to the Command Post. The system must use open architecture software (proprietary closed-loop software is prohibited) with real-time health monitoring and diagnostic reporting capabilities. The anticipated contract structure is Firm-Fixed Price with a 1-year base period of performance and CLINs. NAICS code 334310 applies with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Interested vendors must submit unclassified technical capability statements (maximum 5 pages) by 1400 MST on June 11, 2026 to Contract Specialist 2d Lt Samantha Holweger and Contracting Officer Stephanie Hatlem. Responses must include business information, CAGE code, UEI number, relevant government and commercial contract experience within the past three years, teaming arrangement details if applicable, suggested contract arrangements, CLIN structures, and identified performance or cost risks. Written questions are due by 1400 MST on June 10, 2026, with answers posted on SAM.gov.
