Pacific Air Forces seeks commercial high-definition satellite television service for the Gold Rush Inn at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, with proposals due July 31, 2026. The procurement is unrestricted (no set-aside) and structured as a firm-fixed-price Request for Quote under a base 12 months plus four 12-month option periods and one 6-month extension option, potentially extending through March 30, 2032.

Place of performance is Eielson AFB, Alaska. The contractor must provide all equipment, labor, and parts to deliver stable high-definition television signal to 252 guest rooms, plus common areas across multiple buildings (2270, 5111, 5112, 5109, 5110, 5133, 5134, 5135, 5145, 5146, 5147, 5108, 5282).
